There are about 50,000 students currently taking Squirrel courses, with the majority from middle school.

Squirrel AI Learning, a Shanghai-based online after-school tutoring company, plans to expand into foreign markets in two years by developing an English-language curriculum for mathematics as well as Mandarin lessons for non-native speakers.

“Why mathematics and Chinese-language lessons? Because there are so many foreigners who want to learn Chinese and they do not have good solutions,” Joleen Liang, partner at Squirrel AI Learning, said in an interview last week in Hong Kong. “So we’re going to expand our market in two years.”
