Education Innovator: Outschool’s Amir Nathoo

In this episode, we speak with Amir Nathoo, the Co-founder and Head of Outschool, a community marketplace of live online classes for kids. In 2015, Amir founded Outschool with Nick Grandy and Mikhail Seregine. The company’s mission is to inspire kids to love learning by providing them with innovative learning opportunities outside of the regular classroom. The classes are offered by independent teachers and take place in small-groups over live video chat with assignments and feedback between the live sessions.
