About Uchi.ru
Uchi.ru is an educational technology company founded in 2012 by Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT) graduates Ivan Kolomoets and Evgeny Milyutin. The platform launched its first course, mathematics for elementary school, in 2014 after a period of development and testing. A significant milestone was reached in 2015 when the platform registered half a million student users and introduced its first online olympiads.
The company operates in the K-12 e-learning market, serving students from grades 1-11, their parents, and teachers. Its business model is primarily freemium; students have free, unlimited access during school hours and a daily allowance of 20 tasks afterward. Revenue is generated through subscriptions that offer all-inclusive access to specific subjects or the entire platform for various durations. The platform provides interactive, gamified courses across all key school subjects, including mathematics, Russian, and English, which align with state educational standards. It also offers courses beyond the standard curriculum, such as programming, financial literacy, and exam preparation for VPR, OGE, and ЕГЭ.
A key feature of the platform is its use of gamification and an individualized learning trajectory, which adapts to each student's pace and knowledge level. Uchi.ru also hosts online academic competitions and olympiads to foster engagement and non-standard thinking. Beyond the core platform, the Uchi.ru group has expanded its offerings to include "Uchi.Doma," an online tutoring school for one-on-one sessions, and a network of offline centers for programming, math, and English. In February 2023, the technology corporation VK fully acquired Uchi.ru, consolidating 100% of the company in a deal valued at 8.7 billion rubles, marking a major event in the Russian online education market.
