The company provides standardized test preparation and consultation services for students studying abroad.[6] It offered help to kids who could not go to school due to the COVID-19 pandemic in subjects including mathematics, Chinese, English, and coding. After new rules were issued by the Chinese government preventing for-profit tutoring companies from earning a profit, the company's stock went down significantly, with a projected 70% decrease in 2022 revenue.[7]
In 2018, it acquired CodeMonkey.[8][9]
