Beginnings
When the Covid-19 pandemic hit during the Spring of 2020, Eric Earle had to temporarily shut down the in-home tutoring company he'd been running for five years. In the aftermath, families started demanding high quality virtual tutoring at affordable rates. Scrambling to meet this new need, Eric witnessed the power of virtual tutoring. While other online education platforms passively convey information to the student, Eric was able to incorporate the latest in learning research to engage students with active educational approaches.
Eric's brother, Andy, is the host of Talking to Teens, the #1 podcast for parents of teenagers. His listeners were stressed about Covid and were asking for advice on managing their children's education during the pandemic. The only resources they could find were passive and weren't based on science. Andy realized his listeners were asking for the same type of solution Eric's tutoring customers were loving.
