Geniebook is a Singapore-based edtech company that pairs a proprietary AI engine with human teachers to deliver personalised learning for primary and secondary students across Southeast Asia.

Founded by former tutors Neo Zhizhong and Alicia Cheong, the company has grown from an offline tuition business into a regional platform serving more than 220,000 students, and has since expanded into hybrid online-plus-physical learning centres.
