Jackson Labell-Nevard '18, Pre-U '19 & Maya Wou '19: The Marriage of Education & Tech & How AI Can Assist Educators in Grading

Jackson Labell '18, Pre-U '19 has delved into the worlds of entrepreneurship, finance, and tech. After his time at LCC, he founded a non-profit organization, became the youngest hire at his Morgan Stanley Wealth Management branch, and successfully managed a tutoring service while studying computer science at New York University. As a tutor, he noticed that students often wait weeks for grades and need more feedback on their work. In response, Jackson founded Teztus, an ed-tech startup using AI to assist educators in grading. The platform saves teachers time and provides students with more personalized feedback.
