Review for TeachAids, Stanford, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  


I have had the great privilege of being involved with TeachAids from the very beginning. In 2005 I watched Piya launch the first scientific research projects as a PhD student at Stanford that were the start of all this, and maybe even helped in that process a bit, and from that point on I have been truly impressed with the care, rigor and integrity that Piya has shown for the work but also for her students, other volunteers and the people who learn from their programs. Piya wanted to do things the right way from the start and base everything on science, not ‘opinions’, and this has made a huge difference. You can see that the products and programs they have created are not only top quality but they are supported by an incredibly impressive list of people. Those experts get asked to participate in many organizations and programs but I am sure that one of the reasons why they choose to work with Piya’s org is because they see that the teachings and programs are based on research that is scientifically rigorous and valid, and because the vision for TeachAids is very unique. I have volunteered for TeachAIDS since 2009 and I continue to be in awe of this organization; the programs are better than anything else out there and they still offer them for free. It would be so easy to ‘give in’ and monetize these courses but under Dr. Sorcar’s leadership the organization has continued to make courses available to as many people as possible, for free. We all know that this is the best way to share the knowledge and teach. It is pure and beautiful, and the results speak for themselves. This is truly a wonderful organization, and I am proud to have had the opportunity to volunteer for TeachAids!
