About Outschool

Marketplace of independent teachers offering live small-group classes — coding, art, math, history. 1M+ enrolled learners.

§ Pitch deck breakdown

How Outschool would pitch themselves.

● Editorial
01

Target customer

Parents of K-12 students (especially homeschoolers + supplement seekers) frustrated with one-size-fits-all curriculum or low-quality YouTube tutorials.

02

Problem they solve

K-12 education is rigid + age-stratified. Kids who want to learn niche topics (game design, marine biology) can't find quality live instruction without expensive private tutors.

03

Key differentiator

Marketplace of 10K+ independent teachers offering live small-group classes — niche topics, flexible scheduling, multi-week + one-off formats.

04

Go-to-market strategy

Performance marketing to parents on Facebook + Pinterest. Teacher-side word-of-mouth (teachers earn $50-100/hour). Pandemic-era growth created a homeschool TAM that didn't exist pre-2020.
