Audience

Who Demme Learning is for.

Four customer types. Two markets. One IA. Demme serves the homeschool home leader, the homeschool community leader, the education administrator, and the young learner — on a single account architecture without code-switching.

  • · Parents teaching their own kids at home using Math-U-See
  • · Co-op and pod organizers running shared learning across multiple families
  • · Charter, district, and school administrators evaluating K-8 math curriculum
  • · K-8 students who touch the Digital Toolbox surface most often

Primary personas

01

Homeschool Home Leader

Parent and daily teacher

A parent at home running curriculum across one or two grade levels. Found Math-U-See because it is tactile, sequential, and works for kids who froze on traditional math. Wants the digital toolbox to support that rhythm, not replace it.

Needs

  • · Lesson clarity
  • · Progress at a glance
  • · Light-weight admin

Avoids

  • · Heavy onboarding
  • · School-style dashboards
  • · Anything that feels like surveillance

02

Homeschool Community Leader

Co-op and pod organizer

Runs a co-op or learning pod. Teaches multiple families' children at once, often across grade levels. Cares about scaling the same Math-U-See experience across students without becoming an LMS administrator.

Needs

  • · Multi-student views
  • · Shared lesson notes
  • · Lightweight reporting

Avoids

  • · Per-seat pricing friction
  • · Permissions that block a parent
  • · Mandatory school taxonomy

03

Education Administrator

School, charter, or district decision-maker

Evaluates curriculum at the institutional level. Needs SSO, FERPA-aligned data handling, classroom-shaped reporting, and a path to roll Math-U-See into existing K-8 math sequencing without a full vendor procurement cycle.

Needs

  • · SSO and roster sync
  • · Compliance-ready reporting
  • · Pilot-then-scale pricing

Avoids

  • · Homeschool-only positioning
  • · Anything that reads as consumer software
  • · Surprise per-student fees

04

Young Learner

Student, K-8

The student. Touches the Digital Toolbox surface most often. Cares about whether the lesson feels doable and whether progress feels real. The dashboard had to read warm, not corporate, without being childish.

Needs

  • · Clear next step
  • · Visible progress
  • · A reason to come back tomorrow

Avoids

  • · Grades-as-judgment UI
  • · Cluttered nav
  • · Any moment that feels like a test
