Andy is CEO of Shmoop. Shmoop is an online platform that offers mental health tools, study guides and test prep to over 8 million middle and high school students across the U.S. and beyond.

We discuss:

• Andy’s role at Shmoop and what a typical day entails for him as CEO;
• the way in which Shmoop envisions interaction between teachers and the site;
• the need to democratise education and the part that edtech has to play in this;
• who creates the content on Shmoop and what kind of educational refinement is in place;
• and finally, Andy’s aspirations for the company and what 2022 holds for them.

Thanks a lot to Andy for finding time in his busy schedule to talk to me and I hope that some of Shmoop’s many functions can offer support to your and your students in the near future.
