How to tutor a billion students | Zach Wissner-Gross | TEDxBeaconStreet

At School Yourself, we reinvented online education in the style of 1-on-1 learning. We authored hundreds of interactive, personalized math lessons, using a custom analytics platform to continuously improve them. The result has been a collaboration between teacher and student providing an unprecedented learning experience.

As of December 2015, our team has joined Amplify. We are excited to work with the Amplify team on the next generation of learning software, and about the role our software will play in future educational endeavors.

All of the great materials we built at School Yourself will continue to be available on this site, free to use. They will also be available on edX.

Company info

Collectively, our team holds 9 degrees from MIT and 3 from Harvard.
