Quotes to be heard:

“So maybe if we can just increase your chance, of being proficiency we think sort of building a basic level of proficiency helps you connect the dots to that passion later on.”

“Our mission, our grand mission, is to make education more personalized, not just to what your typical edtech company says, “hey personalize to your level,” we want to make it personalized to your interests, to your personalities, to your character.”
