For businesses · Founders & teams
The business track
Automating the busywork, drafting and marketing, prototyping products, and designing with Claude Design — practical AI that earns back hours every week.
What changes
"She stopped seeing AI as a shortcut and started using it like a research assistant. Her writing got sharper, her grades held, and the curiosity is what stuck."
— Parent of an 11th grader, Lake Oswego
Sharper writing,
done with the student's own voice, not the model's.
Real judgment
about when to lean on AI and when to close the laptop.
Hours returned
for founders — fewer nights lost to work a tool could handle.
The people

Every plan is led by a person who teaches, reviews and answers to you — the AI is the subject, not the teacher.

Questions
Good questions, answered.
Isn't this just ChatGPT?
Not quite. The tools are the subject, but the value is in judgment — knowing which tool fits a task, how to prompt well, how to check the output, and when to set it aside entirely. That's what we teach, one student at a time.
How do you handle academic honesty?
It's central, not an afterthought. Students learn to use AI the way a professional does — as a research and drafting partner — while keeping the thinking and the voice their own. We hold a firm line and coach the discretion that goes with it.
In person or online?
Both. Sessions happen in your home, at our Lake Oswego studio, or over video — whatever fits your family's week. Most students do a mix.
Who is this for?
Primarily high-school students in grades 9–12, and separately, founders and small teams who want to put AI to work in their business. Different tracks, the same one-to-one care.
Do you really work with businesses too?
Yes. Alongside the student track, we run focused engagements for founders and small teams — automating busywork, marketing, prototyping, and design with tools like Claude and Claude Design.
How much does it cost?
Single sessions are $180. The monthly term is $640, and business intensives start at $2,400 with a custom scope. Every engagement begins with a no-obligation consultation.
