UMeWorld announced the launching of UMTang(TM), China's first standardized, K12 Teacher Platform, which is poised to revolutionize private tutoring in China. UMTang is an "Uber-like" tutoring platform, that matches qualified teachers with K-12 students. Unlike other online learning platforms, a qualified teacher can only join UMTang if their learning facility is physically located within walking distance of a community K-12 school. Each UMTang location typically services six to eight K-12 students, and utilizes the Company's proprietary online tools and courseware to ensure teaching excellence. The main incentive for teachers to join UMTang is that they keep 80% of the facility's gross revenue and are not burdened with the task of soliciting students for enrolment, enabling them to focus exclusively on teaching. In addition, they gain access to the Company's educational resources, academic network, and advanced technology, enabling them to offer value-added courses to their students. The UMTang solution is designed not only to address these common issues facing the private tutoring business, but also to offer many unique features not provided by these traditional tutoring enterprises. The Company ensures that each UMTang teacher possess a valid government issued teaching license. This assures parents that UMTang teachers have the content knowledge and communication skills to effectively mentor their children. Other unique features include weekly assessments via UMFun, on-demand student progress reports and additional proprietary curricula such as design thinking, STEM, painting &computer coding course work. UMTang teachers not only guide students towards academic excellence, but also provide additional interdisciplinary learning skills, enabling UMTang students to develop the necessary knowledge to excel in a post-secondary curriculum. UMeWorld is positioning itself to become larger K12 private tutoring platform operator in China. To that end, the Company plans to tap into UMFun's 14,000,000 K12 user base and convert 1,000,000 users into UMTang students.
UMeWorld, Limited is a holding company. The Company operates as an Internet technology company with a focus on the kindergarten-to-grade-12 (K-12) education market in China. UMFun, its K-12 product, is a cloud-based, adaptive learning and assessment platform that analyzes and adapts to a student's performance and personalizes the delivery of educational items in accordance with the student's learning needs. The UMFun's off-school version is made available to Chinese K-12 students through China Mobile. As of September 30, 2016, the Company's UMFun was available to China Mobile's subscription-based AND! Education platform in the Shanxi, Guangxi, Guizhou and Guangdong provinces, servicing over 16,000,000 paid subscribers. Its AND!
