Now TV, the media entertainment arm of HKT, and Snapask, a one-stop online learning platform, have launched the Snapask On-Demand tutoring service exclusively for Now TV customers. With the help of electronic notes and a Q&A app provided by Snapask, the service allows junior secondary students to learn Chinese, English and mathematics on TV even while at home.
Snapask On-Demand tutoring service is led by professional tutors from Snapask, who possess five to 10 years of teaching experience. Parents can select videos suitable for their children’s level as well as courses on particular subjects. As opposed to traditional classroom lessons which take place at fixed hours, students can re-watch the content anytime they want to suit their own study schedule. Even if students encounter problems late at night, they can still connect with Snapask tutors for help via the mobile app.
In Hong Kong, the general impression of online learning is still in the form of face-to-face teaching, which lacks flexibility in terms of teaching quality and time management. Now TV and Snapask hope to introduce high quality educational programs with Question Pack into the home to offer different learning models and experience.
Mr. Derek Choi, Head of Pay TV, HKT, said, “Being the largest pay TV service provider in Hong Kong, Now TV is dedicated to providing educational entertainment for children of different ages. Back in 2019, we launched STEM Learning Pack to provide primary school students with insight into the world of STEM. Today, we collaborate with Snapask to bring this innovative on-demand service at a very competitive price to children and their parents, presenting them with an alternative way to study at home via the Now TV platform.”
Mr. Timothy Yu, Founder and CEO of Snapask, said, “Snapask is dedicated to creating high quality online learning content, including regular classes and intensive courses, which covers various core subjects and elective subjects in both junior-form and seniorform curricula. In collaboration with Now TV and leveraging its high coverage of the home entertainment market, Snapask is ready to seize more than half of the market share of junior-form online learning segment. We will continue working with high-caliber tutors to create new learning content for all subjects.”
Now TV is offering free viewing# on its website and TV platforms with designated electronic notes for customers to experience the innovative Snapask On-Demand tutoring service.
Now TV customers can subscribe to any one of the three courses available for just $88 a month, or subscribe to all three courses for just $188 during the commitment period* .
