Slader

edit

Slader is a collaborative educational platform that provides academic resources for American high school students.

The platform is based around popular textbooks. It allows users to contribute their original work for payment, ask subject-specific questions, and answer questions posed by their peers. Slader offers an alternative to expensive tutors and costly after-school programs.

Slader was created in response to the need for online high school-level math help. A strong believer in “for students, by students,” Slader encourages student involvement. Users may create classes within their high schools and collaborate with their classmates online. Students are connected with their peers as well as with other students across the country.

Slader was founded in 2009 and is headquartered in New York, NY.
