Freelance Editor

At Imagine Learning Studios, our mission is to inspire aha! moments in students around the world. Previously known as Twig Education, our acquisition in 2021 by the largest digital curriculum provider in the US, Imagine Learning, allows us to invest more in our products and push ahead with our ambitious plans to expand even further. Together, we support educators in transforming the learning experience for young people with our innovative digital resources.

In our new chapter as Imagine Learning Studios, we continue to provide comprehensive and engaging multimedia learning experiences for students across a range of disciplines, including science, mathematics, English language, arts… and more! While our products have reached far and wide, we haven’t stopped growing – and we can’t wait to welcome more talented and passionate people into our team.
