Give your work meaning
At GoStudent, we work passionately every day to fulfill our mission. We are building the #1 global school! Why? Because we want to enable every student in the world to unlock their full potential – through affordable and inspiring classes from top teachers. Our goal is to ensure long-term learning success – for a self-determined future for our students!
Founders & Management
The world has changed massively in the past 100 years, but the environment in which children learn is still the same. That has to change!
That’s why GoStudent founders, Felix and Gregor, decided in 2016 to turn education as we knew it on its head. What started as a free homework chat in Austria is now an international learning platform that focuses on one-on-one lessons via online video chat with the ideal teachers.

OUR MISSION
We are building the Nr 1 global school!
We say the informal “you“.
At GoStudent we have flat hierarchies. We use the informal “you” when speaking to each other regardless of age and position, because we convince through performance and not through age and title. Felix and Gregor, Alfons and Laura: that’s our accessible management team! Their doors are always open for all talents at GoStudent.
We step on the gas.
At GoStudent, a dynamic and motivated team awaits you! Our growth is rapid and we are currently conquering one country after another. We move incredibly fast! We stick together and always have the common vision in mind: to build the leading digital school worldwide. We are passionate about this and celebrate our successes together.
We are bold.
At GoStudent, everyone has a voice. Be bold and challenge the status quo! Do you have suggestions for improvement or new ideas that you would like to implement in the company to make us more successful? Just put it out there and we will do everything we can to implement it.
We celebrate.
At GoStudent, we live the motto ‘work hard, play hard.’ We love celebrating milestones and successes together. We applaud loudly, toast together, and congratulate each other when someone on the team accomplishes something great. We motivate and inspire each other. GoStudent is not only a workplace but also a place to build new friendships!
We trust you.
Trust is an important part of our company culture and you‘ll feel it in everything we do. Whether you work independently on projects immediately after your onboarding and take full responsibility, or you regularly work in a home office and determine your own working hours: we trust you to find your individual mode to deliver the best performance.
