Wong Eu En is the CEO and Co-Founder of Ren Education, a Singapore-based edtech company building AI grading and analytics tools for schools and junior colleges.<\/span><\/p>\n

Eu En began as a General Paper tutor, running his own tuition academy from 2022. That experience – watching students fall behind not from lack of ability but from lack of timely, detailed feedback \u2014 became the founding insight behind ren. He is finishing his Bachelor of Computing (Computer Science) from NUS and continues to teach today, keeping one foot in the classroom as ren. grows.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ren Education’s flagship product automates the marking of essays and structured questions with 98.4% benchmarked accuracy, returning rubric-aligned feedback to students and per-class analytics to teachers \u2014 reducing turnaround from weeks to a single day. The platform is now active across 12+ institutions, reaching 50+ teachers and over 5,000 students.<\/span><\/p>\n

Eu En’s mission is simple: quality feedback should be a baseline for every student – not a luxury. Ren Education builds the ecosystem for teacher empowerment, not replacement in the age of AI.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
