Our Story

Built by an educator,
engineered for the future.

Schooliki is the result of 17 years in the classroom meeting a passion for intelligent automation. It's here to give language teachers back the hours that prep takes.

Solving the “Invisible” Barrier

For over 17 years, I stood at the front of classrooms in both K-12 and Higher Ed. I lived for the breakthroughs and the “aha” moments. But like every educator, I watched learners struggle not because the language was too hard, but because the tools got in the way.

Finding listening audio at the right level shouldn't eat your Sunday. Speaking practice shouldn't mean grading thirty recordings by hand. And your plans, lessons and grades shouldn't live in five tools that don't talk to each other.

I moved into software engineering to build the tool I always wished I'd had: one place to plan, build and run a language class, with AI that drafts in the target language and a teacher who stays in charge.

The Front Lines (2006–2015)

K-12 tenure where I learned that effective language instruction isn’t just about grammar rules—it’s about removing friction so learners can focus on meaning.

Scaling Systems (2015–2023)

Higher Education leadership, focusing on how complex instructional workflows can either empower or alienate adult language learners.

The Technical Pivot

Mastering full-stack development to bridge the gap between “good pedagogy” and “good software.” Building tools that actually talk to each other.

Schooliki Today

A platform for language teachers and their students. Plan the week, build lessons from AI drafts you edit, run them on the projector, and give every student listening and speaking practice in class and at home.
