StudiesMate is Pakistan's first EdTech platform with a true Bilingual Slider, letting students switch between English and Urdu mid-lesson at the exact same timestamp. Unlike YouTube or Google Translate, we don't just translate words, we re-explain concepts in Urdu the moment a student gets confused. Every lesson follows Video, Quiz, Worksheet, and parents can track real progress through a connected dashboard. Built for Pakistani Grade 4 curriculum at a fraction of tuition cost.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I'm Hasan, 18, from Karachi. My brother and I built StudiesMate to solve a problem we saw everywhere growing up. Students understand a concept perfectly in class, then go completely blank trying to study it alone at home.
The gap isn't intelligence. It's language. Concepts get taught in English, but many students think and process best in Urdu, especially in that exact moment of confusion.
So we built the Bilingual Slider. Students can switch between English and Urdu instantly, at the same point in a lesson video, without losing their place or restarting. When a concept doesn't click in English, Urdu explanation is one tap away.
Every lesson follows a clear Video, Quiz, Worksheet structure, so there's always a next step. Parents can connect a dashboard to track real progress, not vague promises.
We're currently in Beta with Grade 4 Math, English, and Science, completely free to try. Your feedback would mean a lot to us. This is our first real product, and we're building it in the open.

Thank you for checking it out. 🇵🇰

💎 Pixel perfection
The bilingual slider is genuinely useful, switching mid-lesson without losing your place feels smooth and the Urdu explanations actually break down the concept rather than just swapping words. The parent dashboard is a nice touch, though I'd love to see more grades added soon.

@nebahat394361 Thank you so much for testing that so thoroughly, especially noticing that the Urdu explanations actually break down the concept rather than just swapping words, that distinction was really important to us while building it. On more grades, you're right, and it's exactly where we're headed next. We're rolling out grade by grade to make sure each one gets the same level of care rather than rushing everything out at once. Really appreciate you taking the time to dig into the details

the bilingual slider that lets you switch between English and Urdu at the exact same timestamp is such a thoughtful touch, especially for kids who mentally drift when they hit a confusing phrase mid-lesson

@selin991300 Thank you so much for noticing that detail. That exact moment, when a child mentally drifts mid-lesson because something didn't click, is precisely what we built this for. We wanted switching languages to feel like a natural part of learning, not an interruption. Really appreciate you taking the time to check it out.

How does the bilingual slider actually work in practice if my kid is halfway through a math problem in English, does the Urdu explanation restart the concept from scratch or just translate the same slide?

@harun1559701 Great question, and an important distinction. The Urdu explanation doesn't just translate the same words, it re-explains the exact concept your child was on, at the same point in the lesson. So if they're halfway through a math problem in English, switching to Urdu picks up right there and explains that specific step in Urdu, not a restart from the beginning, and not a robotic word-for-word translation either.
We also have a separate Explain Again feature, if even the Urdu explanation doesn't fully click, your child can tap it to get a simpler, alternative explanation of that same concept, almost like asking a teacher to explain it a different way. Between the two, the goal is that moment of confusion gets addressed directly, without losing their place or sitting through the whole lesson again.

The bilingual slider is genuinely impressive, switching mid-lesson without losing your place. Wish this existed when I was struggling with science chapters in English back in school.

@metehankertik That means a lot, thank you. Honestly, that exact memory, struggling with science chapters in English, is part of why we built this. So many of us went through that same thing growing up, and it wasn't about ability, it was purely a language gap at the wrong moment. Genuinely glad it resonates with you.
