How MyTutor’s Analytics Engineers saw a 50% jump in efficiency

I. Introduction: A company with a mission

MyTutor is the UK’s leading online platform for one-to-one learning, with the mission is to improve the educational outcomes of thousands of young people. They are building a future where access to high quality learning is stress-free for those who can afford it, and funded for those who can't.

One-to-one tuition is one of the most powerful ways to improve pupils’ grades, confidence and life chances. Yet it remains out of reach for many. MyTutor’s handpicked community of tutors work online with students from all walks of life, raising results on average by one whole grade. Since the recent disruptions to education, they have worked with the UK government to provide safe and reliable tuition to more students than ever. Some of their impressive numbers include partnerships with over 650 schools across the UK, and their tutors have given over a million lessons (!!).

II. Challenge: Facilitating efficient decision-making at scale

At MyTutor, Jonny leads the Data Team, overseeing their efforts to translate data insights into actionable strategies. The team's responsibilities encompass diverse areas, such as reporting, predictive analytics, A/B testing, and ad hoc support. In the face of the challenges associated with optimizing efficiency and fostering smooth collaboration, the team turned to Paradime for assistance.

III. Solution: When innovative features meet great customer support

According to Jonny, the adoption of Paradime resulted in a noticeable boost in productivity, with some team members reporting up to a 50% increase in efficiency.

The introduction of Paradime into their data stack notably improved the team's workflow, leading to a marked enhancement in the team's ability to expedite processes and streamline operations. According to Jonny, the adoption of Paradime resulted in a noticeable boost in productivity, with some team members reporting up to a 50% increase in efficiency.

One of the features that stood out for Jonny was Paradime's integration with GitHub, providing the team with added confidence in error prevention and ensuring the smooth functioning of their models. The user-friendly IDE proved instrumental in expediting and deepening data analysis. Jonny also acknowledged the potential of Paradime's catalog feature for streamlined project management and documentation.

Moreover, the collaborative relationship cultivated by the Paradime team, spearheaded by our co-founders Fabio and Kaustav, proved instrumental. Jonny commended their responsiveness and commitment to promptly resolving any issues, reinforcing the idea that MyTutor is not just a client, but a valued partner. This support plays a vital role in making the data team feel prioritized, fostering a more efficient and effective collaboration between the two teams.

IV. Conclusion: MyTutor - today and beyond

As the data team's primary objectives revolve around enabling other departments within the organization to make informed decisions efficiently, the emphasis on expediting and improving decision-making is one of the fundamental goals. Although specific metrics for measuring success are not explicitly mentioned, the team regularly conducts stakeholder satisfaction surveys, further confirming the positive impact of their efforts on the organization's overall decision-making process - now made even more efficient since the implementation of Paradime.

As MyTutor forges ahead with its mission to improve the educational outcomes of thousands of young people, the Paradime team is excited to be part of both their journey and data stack. Working alongside partners such as MyTutor, we are consistently driven to explore new ideas and solutions, with the goal to build the most user-centric, feature-complete analytics development experience on the market.
