We're building the future of education where learning happens through vibrant communities, expert guidance, and meaningful connections that last a lifetime.
Ways Direct was born from a simple observation: the most meaningful learning happens when people come together around shared passions and learn from each other.
In 2022, our founders Sarah and Marcus were frustrated with the isolation of traditional online learning. They envisioned a platform where creators could build thriving educational communities, not just deliver content.
Today, we're proud to be home to thousands of communities where learners don't just consume content—they collaborate, compete, celebrate achievements, and form lasting connections that extend far beyond their courses.
"We're not just building an education platform—we're creating a new way for people to learn, grow, and connect with others who share their passions."— Sarah Chen, CEO & Co-founder
These principles guide everything we do, from product decisions to how we support our community.
We believe the best learning happens when people learn together, share experiences, and support each other's growth.
We're committed to building the highest quality platform that creators and learners deserve.
Education should be accessible to everyone, regardless of background, location, or financial situation.
We're constantly pushing the boundaries of what's possible in online education and community building.
We're a passionate team of educators, engineers, and designers united by our mission to transform how people learn and connect.
