Adeniyi Ajayi, an educationist and CEO of eTutors Nigeria Limited, has highlighted the vital role of innovative online learning platforms in addressing challenges such as overcrowded classrooms, high transportation costs, rising insecurity, and limited access to qualified tutors in Nigeria.

In a statement released in Ibadan, Oyo State, Ajayi emphasized that traditional tutoring methods are no longer adequate to meet the growing demands of students.

“We are here to revolutionize how learning happens, offering a secure and affordable alternative to traditional tutoring and reshaping how knowledge is delivered and consumed in the 21st century,” he said.

Ajayi described the launch of eTutors as a pivotal moment for education in Nigeria, providing a crucial solution for students facing barriers to quality learning.

The platform integrates live, interactive sessions with real-time engagement, connecting students with qualified tutors from across Nigeria and beyond.

“For too long, our students have faced difficulties accessing the resources they need. eTutors is here to change that,” he added.

Ajayi also noted that the platform aims to tackle major issues in Nigeria’s education system, citing that over 75% of students scored below 200 in the 2024 UTME.

“Through the platform, we are not just helping students pass exams; we are fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills that will serve them for a lifetime,” he emphasized.

He explained that eTutors eliminates risks associated with physical tutoring, such as travel hazards and exposure to negative influences, enabling students to learn safely from home.

“eTutors offers real-time tutoring for various academic needs, including preparation for UTME, WAEC, and IELTS exams, reinforcing our commitment to improving educational outcomes,” he said.

Key features of eTutors include live interactive classes, comprehensive academic support, and a mobile app designed for low data usage.

“Parents can track their children’s progress through session recordings and tutor feedback, ensuring transparency,” Ajayi explained.

He concluded by affirming that the platform addresses the critical shortage of qualified teachers in Nigeria, encouraging parents, students, and educators to visit eTutors.ng or download the eTutors app to explore its offerings.

“Together, we can rewrite the story of education in Nigeria,” he stated.
