Growing up, PocketClass founders Lisa and Andrew shared similar experiences. Lisa’s father managed a hockey school, and Andrew’s mother managed a music school. Like many small businesses, the COVID-19 pandemic took a big hit on their parents' businesses. While a small proportion of businesses were able to swiftly transition to remote work, many others did not have that option.

Seeing that some industries were better positioned to leverage the benefits of technology, Andrew and Lisa decided that this needed to change. As pandemic restrictions lifted, the founders were determined to help businesses bounce back stronger, and empower individuals to explore new passions that they were unable to access.

PocketClass’ user-friendly platform is dedicated for sports, arts, and music, making it easier than ever to discover your passion. To make it short and sweet– PocketClass is designed to serve two groups: individuals looking to gain new skills (or improve existing ones); and qualified instructors looking to gain new students.

Our mission at PocketClass is to connect curious individuals with passionate and qualified instructors in their community.
