At Timshel Education, we reverse-engineer learning. Instead of using a standardized curriculum, we start with what a student is passionate about and build a comprehensive, well-rounded education from there. Using our proprietary software and expert mentors, we create a flexible, customized learning path that fosters a genuine love of learning.
The landscape of education in Utah is changing. Now more than ever, families are empowered to seek out and select educational services that are the right fit for their children. This new marketplace of opportunity calls for innovative visions for what education can be—and that is exactly what we provide.
Timshel Education is designed for this new era. Here’s how we deliver high-quality, customized learning:
The name "Timshel" is inspired by John Steinbeck's East of Eden and the Hebrew word meaning "Thou mayest." This represents our fundamental belief in providing learners with a choice. Where the current educational system often operates as a "thou shalt" model, we have designed a "thou mayest" system.
"The chief impediments to learning are not cognitive. It is not that students cannot learn; it is that they do not wish to."
— Dr. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
Our model provides every student with access to a dedicated team of experienced educators and industry experts. This collaborative approach ensures that learners receive comprehensive support tailored to their unique educational path. Whether a student needs guidance on a core subject or specialized knowledge for a passion project, our team is there to provide expert mentorship and help them achieve their goals.
The principles of Timshel Education are grounded in direct academic research and a deep personal history. The founder, Dr. Tanner Bowman, is a fifth-generation teacher who spent 10 years in public schools. His doctoral dissertation, "Evaluating the Effect of Autonomous Learning Strategies on Student Motivation," serves as the foundational research for our data-driven business model.
