A quick note from the founders of Secant.
Hi there.
This is a note from Neal and Kho — the founders of Secant.
We want to write this note because we think it's important for you to know why we built this platform and what our vision is for the future of education.
So, first, you should know that Kho and I are both students — and have been for the past 12 years, and will continue to be for the next four years during our years in college (and after that; we are lifelong learners).
We've also seen how much work goes into being a great teacher — from lesson planning and grading to providing emotional support and guidance. It's a lot to juggle, and it's easy for teachers to get bogged down in the day-to-day tasks and lose sight of what really matters: connecting with students and inspiring a love of learning.
That's where Secant comes in. We built this platform to be an assistant for teachers — a tool that can help take some of those time-consuming tasks off your plate so that you can focus on what you do best. Whether it's automatically grading assignments, providing personalized feedback to students, or offering 24/7 support through our AI-powered tutors, our goal is to make your lives a little bit easier and give you more time to focus on the things that really matter.
But let's be clear: Secant is not a replacement for teachers. We firmly believe that the creativity, empathy, and passion that teachers bring to the classroom every day is irreplaceable. Our AI tools are designed to support and enhance what you do, not replace it.
Now, as students ourselves, we also understand the challenges that come with learning. We know how overwhelming it can be to juggle multiple classes, assignments, and extracurricular activities. That's why we've designed Secant to be just as valuable for students as it is for teachers.
For students, Secant is more than just a learning platform — it's a comprehensive study companion. We've created tools to help you take better notes, generate flashcards, create personalized quizzes, and even provide 24/7 AI tutoring support. Our goal is to help you learn more effectively, retain information better, and ultimately, achieve your academic goals with less stress and more confidence.
We believe that learning should be engaging, personalized, and accessible. With Secant, you can choose how you want to learn and how you want to demonstrate your knowledge. Whether you prefer writing essays, creating videos, or designing infographics, our flexible assignment submission feature allows you to showcase your skills in the way that best suits your learning style.
Looking to the future, we believe that AI is going to play an increasingly important role in education. We want Secant to be at the forefront of that shift — to be the platform that schools rely on to bring the latest learning technologies into the classroom. And we're excited to have you join us on this journey.
Cheers,
Neal and Kho
