Timofey Rogov, the founder of several successful EdTech startups, shares insights into the evolving landscape of online education. Known for his innovative approach and impressive achievements, Rogov has become a prominent figure in the digital education sector.
From Vision to Reality
Timofey Rogov has been a trailblazer in the EdTech industry, launching numerous high-profile online schools for celebrities such as TV host Lera Kudryavtseva, blogger Katya Clap, and singer Larisa Dolina. One of his most notable projects, “Higher Score School,” has become a significant player in the EdTech market, helping students prepare for exams with remarkable success.
In 2016, as a teenager, Rogov noticed his friends struggling to prepare for exams due to the time-consuming travel required to meet tutors. This inspired him to create an educational platform that met all student needs remotely. Rogov and his team developed innovative methods for analyzing user data, allowing students to find the best matching teachers online.
Within a few weeks, Rogov launched “Higher Score School,” an online school for exam preparation. His meticulous planning ensured that students received top-notch preparation for state exams through online lessons. The platform’s rapid launch and immediate success highlighted Rogov’s expertise and vision.
Educational Impact
Rogov’s projects address multiple important goals. Firstly, students gain confidence in their future by studying at their own pace. Secondly, parents receive assurances of their children’s educational progress. Lastly, teachers benefit from new job opportunities.
Rogov’s mission is noble: to ensure that everyone can access a high-quality education. His efforts have enabled students to enroll in prestigious universities and pursue successful careers.
Remarkable Achievements
In one year, nine students from “Higher Score School” scored perfect marks in Russian language exams, and eight aced their math exams. Such impressive results have drawn attention from industry leaders. In early 2019, Rogov received a lucrative offer to sell “Higher Score School” to a major educational platform “Skillbox”, which he accepted. The school continues to thrive under new management.
