Our Story

In the immortal words of Nelson Mandela, "education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." At Torsh, we fully and wholeheartedly believe this. Our company was born out of our founder's desire to be a changemaker. A changemaker, as defined by the Ashoka Institute, is "someone who desires change in the world and, by gathering knowledge and resources, makes that change happen."

At Torsh, we all aspire to be changemakers. We want to change the world. We believe that it is possible to live in a world where all children can succeed through access to high-quality teachers and practitioners. We also believe that all educators deserve to work in environments where well trained and empathetic leaders support them. To achieve all of this will be a herculean task, but we aim to do our small part by providing educators with great tools and a community that supports their growth, learning, and progression. It all starts with our Core Values

Internal Core Values
  • Operate with transparency
  • Always be mindful of the customer
  • Maintain an equitable work environment
  • Continue to innovate
  • Work together/ Support each other
External Core Values
  • Delight and prioritize our customers

So, if you want to work with a great group of former educators, tech folks, and all-around cool people, come on over.
