On this Rebel Educator® podcast, Tanya Sheckley has a conversation with Manisha Snoyer, the CEO and Founder of Teach Your Kids, about the evolution of microschools and homeschooling, customizing education to meet the needs of each student, and embracing tech while maintaining human connections. Teach Your Kids is an exciting new podcast and online community that empowers families to play an active, informed role in their children’s education. It advocates for flexible, customized education that promotes whole child development.

Manisha’s journey has been remarkable — apart from educating over 2000 children ages preK-12th grades in three countries, she founded a non-profit during the pandemic, MasteryHour, which has been pivotal in offering free math tutoring to underserved youth. She also led the largest network of organizations supporting families impacted by school closures, serving over 100,000 families. Manisha was instrumental in sparking the microschooling movement, creating CottageClass, the first marketplace for PreK-12th grade microschools in 2015.

Teach Your Kids stands as a testament to her vision — a perfect blend of tech and education. It’s not just about homeschooling; it’s about revolutionizing how we engage with learning in the digital age. Teach Your Kids aims to blur the traditional boundaries of socialization, childcare, and education, with an emphasis on holistic child development.
