Resilience Through Purpose: Dr. Tahereh Pazouki on Breaking Barriers in Education
In this episode of Resiliency The Podcast, Dr. Kelly Culver and Jenn Quader sit down with Dr. Tahereh Pazouki, computer scientist turned psychologist and the visionary founder of Magrid Learning Solution — an award-winning, language-free educational platform revolutionizing how children learn worldwide.
What began as hand-drawn lessons to help her younger brother keep up in school has evolved into a global mission to remove linguistic and cognitive barriers in early education. Dr. Pazouki shares how her purpose-driven journey through research, innovation, and entrepreneurship led to empowering children of all backgrounds — including those who are multilingual, neurodiverse, or have special education needs — to learn through understanding rather than words.
✨ In this episode:
-The personal story behind Magrid’s creation
-Why resilience is rooted in purpose
-How inclusive, language-free learning is changing education
-Lessons in joy, perseverance, and building impact from the ground up
💡 “Resiliency is deeply connected to purpose — when you believe in your purpose, it’s much easier to stay resilient.” — Dr. Tahereh Pazouki
