Katzur Educational Services

At 16, I realized a tutoring agency I worked for paid me a fraction of what parents paid them so I quit & started my own company

During HS and College I built a business to 50+ clients and multiple freelance tutors working for me

I learned how to work with clients (and get stuff done without a boss)

Tutoring is just like Enterprise B2B. The buyer (the parents) had different evaluation criteria than the users (student). I've applied skills I learned from handling that dynamic for years

Founder & Head Tutor (SAT, LSAT, and HS Math)

I love building fantastic user experiences powered by data. It's a fun combination of product, math, software engineering, and design skills to make the product 'feel' empathic. 

I've been a founder, employee 30 to 300, 1200 to 2500, and ~1.5million and led functions including Software Engineering, Applied Science, Product, Solutions Engineering, and Customer Success.
