There are millions of resources on the internet, right at our fingertips. But most of the times, these resources are not easily accessible — especially for students who experience financial hardships. That's why we've invited Galicia to speak about how Leading Learners can help you in your academic journey!
Galicia Gordon is the Founder of Leading Learners, a platform with a mission of supporting students through free and accessible resources. Leading Learners has reached students from all corners of the world, including students from Harvard, Columbia, McGill, Oxford, among several top tier institutes. She started Leading Learners as a student in high school, and has since reached 100,000 students globally. The startup is targeting the unheard stories of students with academic struggles and financial barriers. Free lessons, tutoring, and accessible resources are far too limited —making learning both financially and accessibly hardening. Being able to impact thousands of educators, students, and parents each month with credible, easy, and accessible resources through Leading Learners has raised Galicia's spearheading impact from community-wide, to now, global.
