About Us
The story of Gifted began with Tristan, a curious and ambitious 10-year-old who was eager to learn new languages and explore the world of business and investing. When he was denied enrollment in a German course because of his age, Tristan turned to an online language platform for Spanish, only to be kicked out when they discovered he was too young for their age policies.
​
Determined to find a way to pursue his passions without age barriers, Tristan decided to create a new kind of online learning platform. He envisioned a platform where young people could explore any topic they were interested in, without being held back by their age.
​
As he pursued his own interests in real estate, investing, day trading, and entrepreneurship, Tristan was constantly reminded of the challenges that age restrictions can present. When he found himself unable to invest in a real estate opportunity in Dubai because of his age, he decided that something needed to change.
​
That's when Tristan realized that he could use his own experiences to create a platform that would help other young people overcome the same challenges he had faced. And so, Gifted was born.
​
Today, Gifted remains true to its founding mission of creating accessible, engaging, and empowering learning experiences for all young people. We're proud to be part of a movement that's transforming the way we think about education, and we're committed to making a positive impact on the lives of our students and the world around us.
Types of Content
The internet is full of free learning opportunities, from YouTube videos to online tutorials. However, it can be a challenge to find resources that are structured in a clear, easy-to-follow manner from beginner to advanced or A-Z. It takes a great deal of time and expertise to sort through the vast amount of content available and assemble it into a cohesive learning path.
​
At Gifted, we understand the value of a structured approach to learning. That's why we have carefully curated a selection of the most interesting and relevant topics from the best YouTubers to supplement our own online content. We have done the hard work of identifying the best resources and organizing them into a clear, step-by-step sequence that is easy for our students to follow.
​
In addition to our own online content, we use a lot of curated content from YouTube in our courses. We believe that there are a wealth of talented and knowledgeable creators on the platform, and we are committed to giving our students access to their insights and expertise. By combining their videos with our own course materials, we can offer a truly comprehensive and engaging learning experience.
​
What sets Gifted apart is the fact that we include content from some of the most prestigious educational institutions in the world, including Harvard, MIT, and NASA. We combine their expert knowledge with our own innovative approach to online learning to create a unique and rewarding educational experience.
​
We're not the only ones who believe in the power of YouTube for education. According to Business Insider, Elon Musk said in an interview on Clubhouse, "Well, my observation is that my kids were mostly educated by YouTube and Reddit." We agree that there is a wealth of valuable educational content on YouTube, and we are proud to offer our students access to the best of it in combination with our own course materials.
​
With Gifted, you can be confident that you're getting the best of both worlds: engaging, high-quality content from top educators and influencers on YouTube, along with the structure and guidance you need to make the most of your learning experience. Our goal is to make online learning accessible and enjoyable for everyone, regardless of age or skill level.
