Why Schools Choose Glimmer
Boost math achievement
Glimmer creates instances of a lesson perfectly tailored to each student's academic and SEL profile, then provides just-in-time feedback to students as they walk through problems. Target students' specific misconceptions, not just what they got right or wrong.
Great start! Let's check out your second step. Can you walk me through what you were thinking when you divided both sides by 2?
Reduce teacher workload
Glimmer instantly synthesizes and analyzes student work in real time to create differentiated lessons, so teachers don't need to spend hours at night poring over student work. Insights become actionable during class with teacher strategies for whole-class instruction, optimized groupings, and 1-1 student check-ins.
Support the whole child
Know exactly when students need support with wellbeing check-ins that are integrated into daily instruction, rather than in time-consuming and infrequent surveys.
Get the clearest picture of every student's progress
Glimmer provides the most granular reporting on student progress across a building or district, showing not only where learning gaps are, but what solutions are working. Track student progress towards standards and target preparation for benchmark tests.

Testimonials from educators who love Glimmer
"Glimmer takes a huge stress off of my plate. It saves me a ton of time looking through data to personalize lessons, which allows me to then put more time into serving kids"
"Glimmer is much more helpful than traditional edtech platforms. It gives my teachers a daily action they can take, whereas with [other tools] it's hard to take data only a few times a year and use it effectively."
"Seeing the common misconceptions in real time while I'm in the classroom is so helpful. I can actually change what I'm doing in the moment."
"Glimmer humanizes the student. Having the immediate feedback loop, the daily checkin, and the qualitative data helps us to better understand our students, and to really track where support is needed."

Neel Rao
Co-Founder
Neel is a former high school math teacher and PM at IXL. He graduated from Stanford with a BS in Computer Science and an MS in Symbolic Systems, researching how AI can be used to better measure student learning. He started Glimmer to make it easier to be the kind of teacher he always wanted to be— able to reach every student in a classroom, regardless of where they're at.

Co-Founder
Glory is a former Microsoft software engineer and second-time edtech founder. She graduated from USC with a BS in Computer Science and a BS in Business, where she also taught Computer Science to elementary and middle schoolers in LA. She started Glimmer because a teacher's personalized help turned her from a failing math student into Math Team president. Now, she hopes every student can have that same opportunity.
