Origin
From rollerblading lessons in Rome to LA's #1 language school.
At age eight, Garrett placed an ad for rollerblading lessons in the magazine Wanted in Rome. His first client: an American flight attendant at Villa Borghese.
It was like a dinosaur egg hatching; I had no idea how much it would grow.
After UCLA, he tutored Italian while acting. When students asked for Spanish, he partnered with a friend, learned HTML, built a website. Twenty years later: 250 instructors, 50+ languages, Netflix, Disney, and more.
