Custom Learning Experiences

Our 1:1 Guided Study program is designed for individuals who want deeper engagement, structure, accountability, and conversation while exploring a topic of interest.

Work directly with a professor in personalized virtual sessions tailored to your goals, interests, and pace. Whether you want to better understand feminist theory, political history, literature, pop culture, queer ecology, film, philosophy, or another area of study, we create an experience centered around what you want to learn.

Together, we can:

• build a personalized reading and viewing list

• unpack difficult texts and concepts

• discuss ideas in real time

• connect theory to contemporary culture and lived experience

• help you develop research, writing, or creative projects

• create structure and accountability for independent learning

Sessions can feel intellectually rigorous, conversational, exploratory, or somewhere in between depending on your goals and preferred learning style.

Perfect for:

• people missing the intellectual stimulation or schedule of school

• creatives seeking inspiration and deeper context

• people exploring a new interest for the first time

• anyone craving thoughtful conversation and guided learning outside traditional institutions

Available virtually from anywhere.

Want to dive into a topic but don’t know where to start?

Our Custom Syllabus option is designed for independent learners who want structure, guidance, and thoughtfully curated resources without ongoing facilitation or meetings.

Tell us what you’re curious about, how deep you want to go, and what kinds of materials you enjoy engaging with, and we’ll create a personalized learning plan tailored specifically to your interests.

Your custom syllabus may include:

• curated readings and articles

• films, podcasts, and multimedia resources

• guiding questions and reflection prompts

• suggested pacing and timelines

• optional assignments or creative exercises

• beginner-friendly context or more advanced theoretical material depending on your goals

Whether you want to explore queer history, horror films, religion, decolonial thought, climate justice, reality television, or a niche obsession you can’t stop thinking about, we help turn curiosity into meaningful independent study.

Designed for people who want the freedom to learn on their own schedule while still benefiting from expert curation and interdisciplinary guidance.

Gather your friends, coworkers, or your polycule and choose a topic you want to explore together—anything from feminist theory to horror films, climate justice to queer history, religion to reality television.

Our team of PhDs and researchers will create a custom syllabus and learning plan designed specifically for your group: Curated readings, films, discussion prompts, activities, timelines, pre-recorded lectures, and optional multimedia resources tailored to your interests, goals, and desired level of depth.

You can choose the experience that works best for you:

• Independent Study: Receive your personalized syllabus (with the optional add-on of pre-recorded lecture materials) and guide conversations yourselves.

• Facilitated Learning: Work directly with our team through virtual discussions, workshops, and/or lectures.

Whether you want an intellectually rigorous deep dive, a playful exploration of a niche obsession, or a structured way to learn in community, we help transform curiosity into shared study.
