Our Product

Classtime enables teachers to create questions on an internet-connected device (mobile phone, tablet, PC/notebook), push them to all student devices, and track the performance of a class immediately in a class session. The teacher receives valuable information about the individual student's performance and can intervene as deemed appropriate, thereby improving the overall learning progress of the class. By answering the questions, all students are fully engaged, which can also be analysed after class and even over time to measure a single student's or the entire class's development. Some of our AI initiatives include comment generation, reading and listening content generation and evaluation of student answers.

Classtime is trusted by more than 430,000 teachers and various clients (schools/businesses) globally.

Classtime Values

Curiosity - Always continue to experiment and learn.

We have to focus on our client, the teacher. We question critically, we listen carefully, and experiment creatively with new ideas. If you love to understand the unknown, then continue, because you now know 25% of our values.

Impact - Always focus on generating value for society.

We don't pride ourselves on large employee numbers, but rather on exceptional impact per team member. We expect exceptional ownership and responsibility, not only for your tasks, but for our impact on society. Don't go improve the next ad platform, help us in our attempt to shape the future of education. If you can throw a punch with impact, then use both fists, not only 50%.

Perseverance - Always keep pushing yourself.

We are a distributed team, working across several time zones. Just like us, you can live in Los Angeles, Kyiv, Zurich, or anywhere you want. Our home has many names: Google Drive, Google Meet, GitHub, Figma, Slack, etc. We don't excel through pressure, but through alignment and discipline. We don't require you to run with us forever, but don't expect a half-marathon either. Just keep in mind: pain is inevitable, suffering is not. Persevere. You're already at 75%.

Honor - Act with integrity, always help a friend or rival.

Education is not a battle against each other, but for each other. Technology is already having a great impact on education. Why do we care? Because we believe that creative, curious people will honor future generations and learn to solve the world's biggest challenges for the long term. This is what Classtime is all about – and we will relentlessly strive for our goals and keep pushing the frontiers of education. With our friends and “co-opetition”. This is 100% Classtime.
