Empowering Neurodiverse Minds

WHAT WE BELIEVE

2e = Twice Exceptional

​

Minds that have both

exceptional learning differences and exceptional talents.

 

Traditional schools and traditional tutors

often don't know how to harness these magnificent gifts. 

 

It is our mission to explore and enhance those unique talents.

​

Because each student,

and the world at large,

is better with those gifts fully expressed.

ABOUT US

We are extremely passionate about 2e students. Mostly, because we ourselves struggled with the challenges of being 2e in a traditional school system.  We understand its limitations.  And more so, we understand how difficult it can be to overcome one’s challenges, create habits of self-advocacy, and hone in on the type of work that makes one feel most fulfilled. 

​

We created this company to help all those students unleash their incredible gifts.

Ari was a student with ADHD and ASD, who struggled immensely throughout school.  It is through this experience that he learned strategies to remediate his challenges and excel in his passion areas. 

 

Ari subsequently graduated with a MFA from Brown University’s program in “Digital Literary Arts.” He has received a graduate degree from Columbia, taught at Brown, published countless articles, and has shown in dozens of international art festivals. 

​

Most important to Ari, he has tutored 2e students for 10+ years, and refined a series of methods to provide students the opportunity to alter the trajectory of their education and careers.

Stephen London, Co-Founder

 

Stephen was the textbook definition of ADHD.  He disliked school, worked on ten projects at once, and his mind moved at the speed of light.  However after many years of trial and error, he learned how to embrace his particular neurodiversity and use it to his advantage.  

 

Stephen graduated from the University of Michigan with a degree in Psychology.  Subsequently, he has founded or developed 9+ companies in healthcare, sustainability, data intelligence, real estate, and travel.  Currently he spends his time trying to balance family, investing, and of course, working on multiple exciting projects at once!
