In business since 2009, Proximity Learning was initially focused on live-streaming World Language teachers from around the world to individual students in the United States. As demand grew and public schools began to inquire about placing Proximity Learning teachers in their schools, we saw an opportunity to expand scope and make an impact on the education sector.
Today, Proximity Learning conducts classes in over 30 topic areas in over 200 schools across 20 states. We strive every day to pursue equitable access to quality education for students everywhere by bringing the power of live-streaming virtual teaching to the traditional classroom so young learners can receive the education they deserve. Our virtual teaching methodology, continuously refined for over a decade now, is centered around the fact that students deserve to always have an instructor that is live, dynamic, and caring.
