Celebrating 10 years of IGCSE Pro
It has been a while since we posted some new content on IGCSE Pro- its been busy!
Short life update- AJ got into Columbia University for graduate school, and currently is pursuing a masters degree in sustainability.
Our other co-founder (who chose to remain anonymous) is full of life, happy, and sipping Oriental tea, all while working in a MAANG company.
Believe it or not, we're actively working on IGCSE Pro, now, more than ever before!
We meet weekly to discuss and implement improvements, so if you haven't already filled out our feedback form, make sure to do so!
Also if you have any notes that you'd like us to post on IGCSE Pro, be sure to fill out the contribute form on the site!
Now, to the juicy stuff-
We completed 10 years since our founding last year, so this post is a bit late, but nonetheless, worth celebrating!
With this we have surpassed serving over 600,000 students, which makes us feel extremely grateful to each and every one of you out there!
Even if we don't fully know one other, we are content to know that we were a part of your IGCSE journey.
Now, you might notice that we are running ads and accepting sponsorships back again. These are crucial for keeping the lights on and to cover the expenses of running IGCSE Pro.
We have always had the mission to deliver a wider social impact by democratizing access to educational resources, than to focus on profits, and we continue to stand by this vision by refusing to put a paywall to access IGCSE Pro unlike a lot of our competitors (Cough. Cough. $avemyexams).
Putting a paywall has helped some websites build a solid business out of it, but we measure our success through equal access to IGCSE resources regardless of socio-economic barriers, race, creed, caste, religion, etc.
Ok. This is getting pretty deep now, but you get the point.
If you're a student reading this, we want to let you know- you got this. You are not alone in this. We are here for you. If there is anything we can do, reach out!
If you're a teacher reading this, we want to let you know- you are doing god's work and are actively transforming students lives. We fondly remember our teachers even after several years of completing the IGCSEs and will continue to be eternally grateful for the lifelong impact they have had on us.
If you're a parent reading this, we want to let you know- we love you and the gargantuan responsibility you have to raise kid(s), to inculcate the right values in them, and to set them up for future success.
If you're just randomly passing by and have no connection to IGCSEs and are here for the ride, we want to let you know- hope you're doing well, and we wish you good health, success, and that all your dreams will come true!
Thank you to every one of the 600,000 students who give us the strength and motivation to continue doing what we do here at IGCSE Pro!
We would be nothing without you and look forward to your continued support as we grow!
The IGCSE Pro team
