Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) that instruct tens of thousands of students at once may get the lion’s share of attention in online learning these days, but San Francisco-based InstaEDUis gaining traction with a far more intimate approach: teaching students one at a time, Gigaom reports. The online tutoring startup launched in public beta last May and, on Wednesday, said it was coming out beta with an additional $4 million in the bank. The Series A round, which follows $1.1 million previously raised, was led by Battery Ventures and includes current investor The Social+Capital Partnership. As part of the deal, Battery Ventures’ Brian O’Malley will join InstaEDU’s board.
