Gradely

Gradely is a school learning platform and LMS built for K-12 private schools, with a tutoring service for parents alongside it. The company's blog introduces it as Nigeria's first truly personalized learning platform "developed specifically for k-12 private schools", and says Gradely helps "educators and parents to make a difference in their child's learning outcomes, thus producing more globally competitive learners." The "first" is the company's own claim. The site addresses five groups at once: its sign-up menu offers separate accounts for a student, a parent, a teacher and a school, and a "Become a Tutor" route for tutors. This entry is written for the school weighing Gradely as its LMS, and for the parent looking at its tutoring.

What the school LMS does

The blog describes Gradely as an online school that "puts collaboration at the heart of the learning experience with an intuitive LMS", and lists what each role does in it.

Teachers "can easily create and deliver rich engaging live or recorded lessons", so a class can be taught in real time or recorded for students to watch later. Homework is handled inside the platform: teachers "electronically collect, annotate, and grade homework" rather than collecting paper and marking it by hand. A later post on the blog, from the Gradely School category, is about Gradely's updated live class features, promising virtual live classes "That Feel Real", which shows the live-class side has had its own development.

Students "can take proctored exams anywhere, and at any time." For a school running blended learning, that means tests do not need everyone in the same room, while the exam is still supervised.

Parents and teachers "can track their students learning progress in real-time." That is the feature that sets the platform up for families as well as staff: a parent sees the same progress picture the teacher does, without waiting for the end-of-term report.

Collaboration and administration

The blog calls Gradely "so centralised that teachers and students can easily collaborate, sharing useful information and learning materials, and administrators have insights into everything on the system." It names what that central system supports: community-wide announcements, groups for extracurricular activities or clubs, and personalized schedules.

In practice, a school administrator gets a view across every class, can address the whole school community at once, and can set up groups for clubs and activities that sit outside the timetable. Students and teachers each work from a personal schedule. The blog adds that "Gradely runs on all kinds of devices", which matters in homes where a phone may be the only screen a student has.

Why it was built this way

The same article sets the context. It says the Covid-19 pandemic "has changed learning for every student worldwide", and that "Since the reopening of primary and secondary schools in Nigeria, many schools have turned to blended learning." It argues that learning "does not have to stop" when children cannot attend school physically and that there "has to be virtual learning where educators and students collaborate, irrespective of distance." Gradely is pitched at exactly that blended setup: a private school that teaches in person but wants lessons, homework, exams and parent updates to keep working online.

Tutoring

Tutoring is the second product. The site's product menu lists For Schools, For Parents, Tutoring and Event, and teachers can apply through "Become a Tutor". The one published price comes from the company's own reply on its blog. When a student in JSS 2 asked how much a one-on-one tutor would cost, the reply, signed Admin Eniola Makinde, said that group sessions of 3 to 5 students cost N1,000 per session and 1-on-1 tutor sessions cost N2,500 per session. The blog shows that reply as posted four years ago, so a parent should treat those figures as the price the company quoted then.

The blog has since added tutoring articles aimed at families in the UK. The two newest posts on the blog's front page, both dated May 12, 2026, are "Online Private Tutoring in the UK: Benefits for Students" and "Affordable Maths Tutor UK for GCSE and A-Level Students." Other posts include "Private Tutors in the UK: How to Find the Right Private Tutor for Better Grades" and "How to Prepare Your Child for the 11+ Exam: A Parent's Guide." The UK posts talk about personalized learning plans and flexible online sessions for GCSE and A-Level maths. They show that the tutoring side now addresses UK parents as well as Nigerian ones, though the pages do not give UK prices.

The blog as a resource

The Gradely Blog is organized into categories for each audience: General, Gradely Parent, Gradely School, Gradely Teacher and Gradely Student, plus topic tags such as #Myhomeschoolinglife and Gradely Tutors. Visitors can subscribe to a newsletter as a parent, teacher, school administrator, educator or other reader. The school article itself is a roundup of online learning options in Nigeria with Gradely listed first, so it is the company's own promotion rather than an independent review.

Support and accounts

The footer of every blog page lists two Nigerian support numbers, (+234) 810 059 8268 and (+234) 805 596 7844, a support email, support@gradely.ng, and a Help Centre. The menu also links to About Gradely and a contact page. The school article directs readers to sign up at Gradely.ng, while the blog runs on blog.gradely.co, and the copyright line names the company as Gradely Inc.

Pricing

The site publishes no price for the school LMS. The only figures are the tutoring session prices quoted in the blog reply above.

Who it suits

Gradely suits a K-12 private school in Nigeria that teaches in person but wants a single online system for live and recorded lessons, digital homework with annotation and grading, proctored exams that students can sit from home, and real-time progress tracking that parents can see. A school that runs clubs and extracurricular groups, and that wants to send announcements to its whole community from one place, will find those built in. A parent looking for extra help can use the tutoring service, choosing between a small group of 3 to 5 students and a one-on-one tutor. A school outside Nigeria, or one that wants a published per-student price before it talks to anyone, will find the pages written for a different buyer, and a creator wanting to sell courses to the public will find no storefront here.
