Breaking down barriers to connect all learners with the expert teachers they deserve.

Innovating New Ways To Impact Students.

In the late 00’s, when video calls started to gain popularity, we saw its potential for being used as a method of instruction. The benefits were inarguable—classes previously conducted through asynchronous message boards and recorded video could transform to include eye contact, facial expressions, and dynamic interactions - the most important aspects of live instruction.

As the teacher vacancy crisis began to unfold in the 2010’s, we found our purpose - it was now possible to connect a certified teacher in one part of the country to students in another part of the country. Immediately, schools had access to certified teachers everywhere, not just in their immediate vicinity. Students in those districts were given greater educational equity by gaining access to those teachers.

Every individual on Proximity Learning’s team is driven by our mission—to connect all learners with the expert teachers they deserve. By connecting students with expert teachers, we increase educational equity, meaning that every child receives what they need to develop to their potential.

Our corporate team comes from all over the education space, many with direct experience either teaching or administrating in public schools. Backgrounds also include higher education, education technology companies, staffing organizations, and more.

All Proximity Learning teachers bring a passion for impacting the next generation, too. They teach with us to reach more students that need access to certified teachers and pass on the passion they have for the subjects they teach. Our team's passion brings new ways to make a positive impact through increased educational equity.
