to sites like MasterClass, an online education
platform where students can access tutorials
and lectures pre-recorded by experts in various
niches. MasterClass features stars such as
Kelly Wearstler who teaches interior design
lessons, Gordon Ramsay who teaches cookery
courses, and RuPaul, who shares advice on self-
expression and authenticity, but rival platforms
are offering similar opportunities for personal
trainers, musicians, and more.


In light of school closures and shortages of
teachers and key staff in the US, educational
facilities are taking lectures online with
presentations and home-learning exercises
so classes can run as normal, and so students
can complete their diplomas and degrees
without too much disruption. And there’s
a whole wave of organizations popping up
offering one-on-one tutoring for students
around the world, hosted by furloughed
teachers, selling personalized classes for
kindergarten students through university-level
professionals. The key is innovation, and being
able to adapt to these changing circumstances
at breakneck speed. In China, for example,
food delivery disruptors (those similar such as
UberEats) have adapted by offering grocery
deliveries for those in isolation or suffering
from the coronavirus, subsequently adding
billions of yen to their market valuation.
