We believe "Anyone can teach, everyone can learn", with the mission to connect anyone who likes to teach with anyone who likes to learn. We focus in THREE branches of services: #AOneSchool (started since 2018) - school management software for any learning centres, kindergartens, academy & schools #AOnePay (started since 2017) - automated monthly fee collection solution for learning centres #AOneMarketplace (started since 2016) - online marketplace for local classes & lessons Why and How do we start AOne? As a PhD student in Universiti Malaya many years ago, the founder, Dr Darren Gouk was dissatisfied that he had to pay up to half his monthly income in agent fees when recruiting students to tutor on part-time basis. By chance, he attended a free internet seminar through the recommendation of friends, and the next day, Darren created the very first website – My AOne Tutor – to help students find tutors without any middlemen. And so the first-ever version of AOne was created, and it has evolved to become what it is today - a marketplace that anyone who likes to teach and anyone who likes to learn. As AOne’s partner centres grew more successful, their administrative and operational duties became more intense – especially since 95 percent of these centres were still using manual methods to keep track of and manage their daily operations. Seeing a gap in the market, Darren expanded his business to include cloud-based management (AOneSchool) and automated fee payment solutions for all parties involved (AOnePay). Looking forward, we plan on replicating the AOne systems and services in other Southeast Asian markets. We concerned about creating a product that eventually bring great impact to the society, starting with education industry. A brand or product that people could use, and which benefits the community.
