INeedAPencil.com: The Company and The Founder
|
|
My name is Jason Shah—founder of INeedAPencil.com. I started this company in high
school with a vision to change test prep forever. Working as a tutor was tedious and online programs then (and still) lacked innovation that really leveraged online
capabilities. So I put together a business plan and launched
I Need a Pencil, LLC
in November 2006 with the support of my parents and a web-savvy high school friend.
I currently run the company myself and study at Harvard University. Feel free to
email me with any questions or ideas at JasonShah@INeedAPencil.com.

Once the company was formed, I designed requirements for the online program, led a team of web and curriculum developers and launched INeedAPencil.com formally in April 2007. This program really addresses a common concern that test prep is boring, and when students are bored, they don’t learn well. It’s common sense. So these practice questions generally appeal to interests of an average teenager like sports and music. The lessons are written in a conversational tone so that reading them is bearable. The cool tools of the program include customized practice sessions so you can get a specific set of practice questions that focus on your time needs or skill weaknesses. Also each practice session provides you with a summary of performance and a projected SAT score at its conclusion. Also you can take/store digital notes for yourself in addition to emailing progress reports to yourself and others like parents or teachers. INeedAPencil.com: the battle cry for unprepared students—please work hard and get everything out of this program so you achieve your goals!
