[Explanation] After stepping out of school, he devoted himself to the Internet education industry. For more than 6 years, Zhang Yi, the founder of the head of education, born in 1989, can be regarded as a powerful "back wave" in the field of online education in China.
Many people did not expect that Zhang Yi, who was gentle and shy in appearance, made a decisive choice, aiming at market opportunities.
In 2014, he graduated from Shanghai Jiaotong University and founded the head of education, focusing on the highly personalized "one-to-one" model, providing online customized general education services for children aged 3-18, cutting into the ascendant online education field.

Offline education is a very traditional form. In many cases, it is particularly dependent on the power of unilateral teachers. However, whether it is online teaching, research or personalization, it can achieve a high degree of thousands of people through technical means. Thousands of faces, and very accurate this kind of push, so we think this is a great improvement in learning efficiency.
[Explanation] In Zhang Yi's view, online education essentially spans time and space and provides more efficient education.
The outbreak of the new crown epidemic in 2020 has brought online education to the spring again. Many platforms have been quickly "ripened" and competition is fierce.
However, after a short period of concentrated demand, how to maintain the sustainability of online education has always been a hot topic in the industry.
Zhang Yi emphasized that the epidemic has allowed more people to contact and try online education, and the "one-to-one" model has quickly gained recognition from more people because of long-term quality accumulation, which has accelerated the growth of enterprises; The question is how to continuously improve the learning experience and effects of students, so that children can learn well without using tactics. This requires continuous use of technology and scientific methods to strengthen the quality of teaching, and a long-term perspective on education. .

The epidemic in the past year has made many parents aware of online education, not only in this first, second and third tier cities. Many of our parents in the fourth, fifth, and sixth tier cities have also begun to accept this new model, which also makes our number of employees. A lot has changed, and so have teachers.
I think it’s actually a gain in terms of the number of employees. Suddenly, the many users also made us realize that many things are actually prepared for a rainy day. Whether you can handle a large number of students in terms of teaching and research or technically, you can keep a better one. High quality, in fact, as long as you do a good job of your own quality and do your own technology, then such a company must be able to go further.
[Commentary] Zhang Yi revealed that with the continuous maturity of AI technology and 5G technology, the head of education is also constantly exploring the application of "5G+education" teaching scenarios.
In Zhang Yi’s eyes, Shanghai, the "highland of education", not only attracts a large number of educational talents, but also due to the booming development of Internet companies and abundant technical talent resources. The concentration of these two forces has contributed to the development of online education companies. Said played a great role in promoting.
In recent years, with the vigorous development of Shanghai’s “double innovation”, especially after the vigorous development of the online new economy, investment institutions in Shanghai have also shown explosive growth, and the gathering of outstanding companies can continuously improve the urban innovation ecosystem. "The brain" is constantly born, so that every enterprise can benefit from it.

I think that many of the policies that the government promotes to encourage the new online economy, and their attention has further attracted more outstanding companies to get together.
So I think this is inseparable from the positioning and call of the government itself, and the clustering of excellent Internet companies also makes the city's innovation power continue to improve. The clustering of Internet companies will also make talents clustered, which will further make the entire city. This Internet economy is growing even more.
