Our Mission

Student Taking a Lesson Online

Kyron Learning is built on the idea that great education starts with great teachers and that students succeed most when they have access to high-quality, one-on-one feedback.
 

Classroom teachers are superheroes, but even superheroes need sidekicks. That's why we're building a rich library of interactive video lessons by experienced teachers available anytime, anywhere. Students learn through a back-and-forth dialogue with our teachers, powered by conversational AI, to give students a sense of real-life connection, in-the-moment feedback and encouragement that enables them to learn and thrive.

Our Teaching Principles

Our Teaching Principles

We believe...

All students deserve a safe, affirming and joyous learning environment.

Choice supports student agency and creates engaging learning opportunities. 

Every student is a learner.

Mistakes are to be expected, respected, inspected and corrected. 

In diverse learning styles and expression through words, pictures, and numbers.

Thinking deeply and conceptually outweighs thinking quickly.


In the value of self-assessment and self-reflection.

As the former VP of Google Cloud AI and Industry Solutions and founder of Google Apps for Work and Education (now Google Workspace), Rajen has built products that have transformed work and learning for millions of people.
