Building TGPU Academy: Looking for Educators and EdTech Pilot Partners
Hello fellow founders! 👋
I'd like to share another project we're building within TGPU Digital Ecosystem: TGPU Academy.
I'm Muhammad Mamduh Saffin, based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
I've been developing a digital classroom ecosystem focused on making education technology simpler for teachers, learners and families.
The problem we're trying to solve
Many small education centres need practical tools to manage classes, learning materials, attendance, homework and student progress.
But they don't necessarily need a complicated or expensive learning management system.
We're exploring a more focused approach.
TGPU Academy is being designed around:
- Teacher-managed classroom workflows
- Structured lessons and learning progress
- Online class scheduling
- Homework and feedback
- Student and guardian access controls
- Mobile-friendly experiences
- Privacy-conscious classroom management
Our initial focus is Islamic education, Arabic learning and Quran learning communities.
Current stage
We're progressing through private development and controlled pilot preparation.
We're not publicly launching the complete classroom system yet. Teacher acceptance, educational quality, access controls and real-user testing remain important requirements.
My specific ask to the Lounge community:
I'm looking to connect with:
- 2–3 educators or education centres interested in exploring a small private classroom pilot.
- EdTech founders who have experience validating learning platforms with real teachers.
- Potential education or technology partners interested in accessible, low-cost classroom solutions.
One question I'd especially appreciate your thoughts on:
If you were validating a new education platform, what would you test first to determine whether teachers genuinely find it useful?
I'd love to learn from your experiences and explore meaningful collaborations.

Are the Quran and Arabic teachers you're lining up for the pilot tracking homework and attendance in WhatsApp groups today, or on paper?
That's a very important question, Ryan. Thank you. We're starting with a small group of Islamic education, Quran and Arabic learning classrooms. I haven't yet formally validated how each teacher currently manages attendance, homework and student progress, whether through WhatsApp, paper records or a combination of tools. That's actually one of the first things I want to establish during our pilot discussions. Rather than asking teachers to change everything immediately, my approach is to understand their existing workflows, identify where they experience the most friction, and test whether TGPU Academy genuinely reduces their administrative workload. I'm particularly interested in whether teachers can manage lessons and progress more efficiently while keeping the experience simple for learners and guardians. Would you recommend starting with just attendance and homework tracking as our first measurable pilot workflow, before introducing the other classroom features?
