What Drives Us
Our team’s passion for education goes beyond just teaching. For example, Tiffanie reflects on her personal journey, saying, “It wasn’t until I became a teacher that I understood how difficult it was to teach to a room full of 30+ kids and accommodate all of their different learning styles.” This understanding drives us to create solutions that meet educators’ diverse needs.
