We’re taking it to the next level.

Founder and CEO

Andrei Zakhareuski

From growing and nurturing BusyTeacher.org, Andrei’s passion for education shifted toward online learning. He established Elegant E-Learning from his desire to help people learn on the most user-friendly platforms. There are platforms to prepare persons for their driver’s knowledge test in the US, UK, Australia, and Canada, to cram for their NCLEX-RN or PN, or to study for the US bar exam. For all of them, Andrei still believes in a beautiful but clean, simple, and functional design, just as he did when he first developed Elegant E-Learning. This belief forms the foundation of Elegant E-Learning’s entire family of online properties and mobile apps.
