About Funclass

We are here to revolutionise online tutoring!

Our mission is to provide the most engaging and effective online live class experiences for young learners and teachers.

Our Story

Funclass was born from co-founder Yan’s six years of experience teaching English online, where she faced a common challenge: keeping learners engaged through a screen.

Determined to find a better way, she teamed up with Viana, a skilled developer with business insight, and Crystal, a pedagogy expert with 20+ years of experience and deep ties to the global tutoring industry. Together, they built a platform designed to solve what other tools couldn’t.

Through research and outreach, the team uncovered a clear need: online educators were frustrated with corporate tools that failed to engage students aged 4–15. These tutors needed a purpose-built solution to improve focus, streamline their operations, and grow their businesses.

Funclass is that solution — a Zoom app that upgrades online learning for tutors and academies alike.
It builds on Zoom’s trusted environment and adds powerful layers: gamified features like points, leaderboards, and custom avatars to boost engagement, plus all-in-one tools for scheduling, student tracking, and business growth.

At its core, Funclass uses gamification to transform screen time into meaningful learning — encouraging participation, motivation, and progress inside and outside the classroom.

Less admin. More impact. Smarter growth.


Funclass isn’t just a Zoom upgrade — it’s the future of live online education.
