@EdefyUS
We're building the first direct marketplace for in-person education. Families and teachers can now connect directly at unlimited community host sites.
Edefy.us puts education power back in the hands of the people. Communities anywhere are now free to build their own in-person, small group education solutions, on-demand. Inspired by the superior student outcomes generated from Pod and Microschooling, Edefy…

Very grateful to everyone helping spread the word! foxnews.com/media/uber-edu…
Starting a school is a ton of work. Instead, we suggest churches use Edefy to rent their rooms to preferred teachers in their community, and let teachers run pods from those rooms. When teachers work for families directly, rather than for a third party administrator, student…
Chris Vas of the @HerzogEducation sat down with EdChoice's Nathan Sanders to talk about why more churches are deciding to start schools. Chris gave a piece of advice for churches, "Start now." Listen to their full conversation and hear how the Herzog Foundation is equipping the…
The past 20 years have been an experiment to see whether enormous spending increases on K-12 education would improve student performance. The results show that they haven’t. New from me @NRO h/t @matthewladner nationalreview.com/corner/the-20-…
Thank you @ColleenHroncich. It was delightful chatting with you. (and just to get ahead of it, no, I'm not the person who comes up when you google my name...unfortunately, that is a reoccurring misunderstanding)
Creator James Bisenius says @EdefyUS is like “Airbnb for education space combined w/Uber to connect families directly to educators” and has the potential to “break that monopoly on infrastructure and logistics that government education has right now.” cato.org/blog/friday-fe…
Remember, the marketplace is brand new, so will take a while to fill, but Edefy is not just a marketplace, it's a logistics tool to guide and automate the preferences, connections, communications, commitments, contracts and billing and payment obligations between the host site,…
Local homeschoolers looking for a pod and teacher can try @EdefyUS
Teach at-will for families directly!
I used to judge teachers who quit midyear And then I encountered several in this exact same situation Stop giving your labor to an organization that fails students and can't even keep you safe
Edefy is approved on Arizona's school choice payment platform, ClassWallet. Families can group 8 kids together, and compensate the teacher of their choice to educate their kids. Based on Arizona's current per student allocation, even a full time program will cost very little, and…
If you are a teacher, with a bonus room or basement, you don't have to wait for a third-party Host site. You already have two sides of the marketplace filled. Simply share your Pod on social media or invite families you know. Enroll 8 students to launch your Pod today!
While waiting for school choice dollars to catch up, you can still unlock huge economic value for families and teachers by going direct with Edefy. For Example: A teacher who is teaching at a $30,000+ per year private school can now earn more teaching 8-12 kids directly - at a…
We spend $19,999 per child per year in public schools. Imagine if that money went directly to families. A teacher could set up a microschool with just 12 students and pull in $239,988 in revenue each year.
Attend a church? Point someone on staff to Edefy and have them make their spare rooms available to the teachers and families in their congregation and community!
Run a business with some space available on campus? Unlock the ultimate employee benefit by making a room(s) available for a great teacher(s) to deliver a highly personalized education experience for the children of your employees.
We are so glad to see Families and Teachers signing up...but we need host sites for Pods to meet at! Get paid making your underutilized rooms available to great teachers in your community! Businesses? Churches? Bonus Rooms, Basements, and Barns??

Good morning and thank you to all of our new followers! This feels like a good opportunity to thank my four sisters and my wife, who all homeschool, but 15 years ago decided to gather some family friends and hire teachers directly to lead small groups of students two days per…
This is exactly why we started building Edefy.
We spend $19,999 per child per year in public schools. Imagine if that money went directly to families. A teacher could set up a microschool with just 12 students and pull in $239,988 in revenue each year.
People always used to ask me: “well if public education isn’t the answer, what’s your bright idea, Mr. Teacher?” Ah, the hubris of central planners. My response was that I was not smart enough to be able to centrally plan education for society. This genius idea proves it.
A new app connects families with teachers and helps them create miniature schools. The Uber of education.
Most marketplaces are only useful once they have achieved a broad level of saturation throughout a particular region. While that is the eventual hope for Edefy, you can still use the app now to manually invite participants - other families, teachers, etc to activate your Pods…

We are believers in in-person learning for this reason. Education is so much more than delivering content. The guided dialogue between a teacher and a group of peers is where ideas are best absorbed into long term frameworks of mental models. When someone thinks back through the…
Gamification is seasoning, not supper. The tech we love and use at @socraticexp, such as Math Academy, points and nudges reluctant learners, while cooperative games train social coordination. However, the heart of our program is slow, thoughtful dialogue. Dopamine hits…
