We are Genio
We help learners overcome challenges, by creating an environment in which they are equipped, empowered and encouraged to succeed from day one.
Genio creates beautifully simple learning tools that boost knowledge, skills and confidence.
Today’s learners face more challenges than ever.
We all know learning unlocks opportunity. But too little attention is paid to helping individuals become better learners, and most are left to figure it out on their own.
When students do not believe they are capable, or when the process feels overwhelming, they disengage.
That leads to worse academic performance, which erodes confidence, and creates a sense that learning is not for them.
We call this the disengagement cycle, and we’re here to break it.
Our history
Genio’s story began over 15 years ago with the launch of our first audio-based note taking tool for neurodiverse learners.
Our founder, Dave Tucker, has spent his working life exploring how technology can be used to tackle learning challenges and expand what’s possible for every learner. In developing our first product for neurodiverse students, he worked closely with learners who were being left behind because they couldn’t keep up in lectures.
In 2020, we launched Glean Notes, a new note taking product designed from the ground up. It has now supported over 160,000 students across more than 900 institutions worldwide. But note taking was just the start. With Genio, we’re applying everything we’ve learned to a broader range of opportunities to increase learning success.
Our approach
Our goal is simple. We want to help more students succeed by helping them learn better. Not through shortcuts, but through experiences and products that help students become more confident and effective learners.
1. Equip the right tools to unlock progress
By providing the right tools & technology to help students with their personal learning process, institutions make learning more accessible for all.
2. Empower learning skills to become more effective and efficient learners
Learning how to learn can expand what’s possible. By starting with early, proactive engagement and personalised support plans, institutions can directly help learners to develop their study skills.
3. Encourage confidence, agency and enjoyment to build lifelong learners
Learning is social and we’re motivated when we learn with and from others. We thrive when we take control of our learning and find our own reasons to keep going.
