Kat The Education Specialist (Paddlles Center of Excellence)

Entrepreneur

Overview of Business

Ask Kat is a smart, WhatsApp-based tutoring platform designed to make learning support accessible, affordable, and personal for South African families.
It helps learners understand homework, prepare for exams, and build study confidence — while keeping parents informed, empowered, and involved.

Unlike traditional tutoring, Ask Kat operates entirely through WhatsApp, using AI technology, assessment-driven insights, and parent feedback tools to deliver real-time academic support.
 

The business runs on a subscription model for parents (R99–R249/month) and a bulk licence model for schools, NGOs, and CSI partners, ensuring scalability and sustainable impact.

Our mission is to close the gap between home and school by equipping parents to guide their children effectively, turning everyday devices into powerful learning companions.
