Zinc Learning Labs is on a mission to revolutionize reading and deliver reading growth to middle and high school students. With a deep concern for the current state of literacy in the US, Zinc is determined to address America's reading crisis head-on. In today's 21st century economy, advanced literacy is essential for well-paying jobs, yet only about a third of high school seniors reach reading proficiency and a mere 10% of adults can tackle complex texts.

Founded in 2016 by Matt Bardin, Zinc combines his experience as a former middle and high school English teacher in New York City with his expertise in tutoring and test-prep. His groundbreaking test-prep strategies prioritize raising reading levels through conscious-reading techniques and teaching students metacognition. These innovative approaches, along with a love-based learning philosophy, are at the core of Zinc's offerings.

Zinc is committed to advancing literacy to end information inequality. Join their reading revolution and help empower the next generation
