The people behind
the learning.

Every learner has a story. So do the people in their corner. Meet the students, parents, and teachers helping shape Wizzist, starting with our co-founders.

A view from home
and the classroom.

Nonnie brings the perspectives of both a parent and a teacher to Wizzist: the learning that happens in class and the support around it at home.

She and Priya shared a vision for a product they felt was missing—one place to connect learning, organization, and the people helping a student. That shared idea is where Wizzist began.

Learning through
the arrival of AI.

Priya started her computer science degree just as generative AI was arriving in education. The tools were still finding their footing. Schools were figuring out what AI should mean for a computer science education.

She has lived through that evolution as a student, from the early limitations to the capabilities students have today. That experience helps shape Wizzist: a place where using AI and doing the work of learning belong together.
