Here at Grassroot we build to simultaneously advance the highest level of education and make that accessible for all. Potential exists everywhere. Quality education should, too.
Here at Grassroot we build to simultaneously advance the highest level of education and make that accessible for all. Potential exists everywhere. Quality education should, too.
We're a team of first-generation college students, international scholars, and competitive academics whose lives were transformed by great teaching.
Some of us grew up navigating education systems across continents.
Others broke generational cycles as the first in our families to attend university.
We've attended top universities such as Northwestern, UChicago, Brown, won math olympiads, and struggled with language barriers.
We've experienced both sides – charging premium rates as tutors while knowing that the students who needed us most couldn't afford us.
What unites us:
We've all seen how the right teacher at the right moment can change everything.
And we've all felt the frustration of education systems that work for some but leave too many behind.
Now, from our base in Chicago, we're building the teaching experience we wish we'd had - and making it accessible to everyone.
Every feature starts with "How does this help learning?" not "What is technically possible?"
Built on 50+ years of cognitive science, not Silicon Valley assumptions
Great education shouldn't depend on geography or circumstance
We learn from every session to make tomorrow's teaching better
We're always looking for passionate educators, researchers, and engineers who believe every student deserves exceptional teaching.
