Title + Company: Violin Coach & Tech Entrepreneur

Overview: Passionate violin educator and edutech entrepreneur who combines education and technology to build software solutions that improve teaching, learning, and organisational workflows.

Industry: Education Technology (EdTech), IT & Software, Music Education

Professional Experience: Alison has over 8 years of experience as a violin teacher and has also worked as an academic tutor. Alongside education, she has experience in software development, edutech solutions, venture building, and digital transformation for organisations across multiple industries.

About her: Alison Soo is a Singapore-based violin coach and tech entrepreneur passionate about harmonising the arts and sciences. With years of experience teaching violin and tutoring students, she developed a deep understanding of the challenges faced by educators and learners. This inspired her to venture into the technology space, where she began developing software solutions aimed at simplifying workflows, improving communication, and enhancing learning experiences. Alison believes technology should serve as a practical tool that genuinely improves outcomes rather than existing for the sake of innovation alone.

Turning point: A major turning point in Alison’s journey came when she recognised the lack of technological support available within the private education industry. During her tutoring experience, she noticed that many educators and institutions still relied on fragmented or outdated systems that created inefficiencies. This motivated her to build user-friendly software platforms that streamline administrative processes, improve communication, and create more personalised learning experiences for students and educators.

What she does now: Today, Alison continues balancing her work as a violin coach while leading technology and software initiatives focused on education and business solutions. Her company develops adaptable and scalable software systems that support organisations in education, corporate training, operations, and other sectors. She also actively collaborates with partners and institutions to expand the reach and impact of technology-driven solutions while continuing her passion for teaching music.
