Our Mission
RGB Learning was founded in 2021 by Jerry Zhang, Sang Hee Park, Zian Fang, Meenakshi Thummisi, and Jessica Xu. Inspired by their own academic goals and achievements, they set out to help other students reach their individual learning goals.
Initially, RGB Learning charged money for tutoring and donated over than $3000 to charities like the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN) and Asian Americans Advancing Justice. However, the economic extent of the COVID-19 pandemic convinced the team to switch to a free system to provide education, for free, for everyone.
