We started Wordy Whiz because we wanted to make worksheet creation feel less like busywork and more like part of teaching. We are building it together: Will grew up seeing the day-to-day reality of teaching up close, and Debbie teaches ESL in Japan and owns and runs her own school.
A lot of education tools are made at a distance from the classroom. That is not what we want here. Wordy Whiz is shaped by real teaching experience, real prep time, and the small classroom details that usually get overlooked.
Our story
Why Will started building it
As the child of a teacher, Will grew up around the reality of lesson prep, classroom problem-solving, and the amount of unpaid time that goes into making good materials. Building Wordy Whiz is his way of creating something genuinely useful for educators instead of asking them to force their workflow into generic software.
What Debbie brings to it
Many years of experience teaching ESL in Asia and developing curriculum have shaped how Debbie creates her learning materials. As the founder of her own school, she continually refines these materials through hands-on teaching. Her goal is not just efficiency, but to create engaging, adaptable worksheets and activities that teachers can customize for a range of learners and use to integrate multiple learning goals.
What we believe
Good teaching tools should help you get from an idea to a usable activity without adding friction, clutter, or a pile of extra steps.
That is why Wordy Whiz focuses on practical things: making custom worksheets easier to build, helping visuals fit the lesson, and giving teachers, tutors, parents, and homeschool educators a starting point they can actually adapt to their own students.
Built for teachers, and meant to listen to teachers
- We want the app to feel useful in real classrooms, not just in demos.
- Feedback from educators should shape what gets improved, simplified, or added next.
- The worksheet maker should save time without making everything look the same.
- Public worksheets and visuals should be genuinely usable for ESL, classroom, tutoring, and homeschool settings.
How Wordy Whiz helps right now
Start with an idea or a blank page
Use templates when you want a head start, or build from scratch when you already know exactly what your students need.
Make materials that fit your students
Adjust wording, layout, visuals, and difficulty so the worksheet matches your lesson instead of forcing your lesson to match the worksheet.
Use the tools without losing your voice
The builder, image tools, and assistant are there to help with the heavy lifting, but the teacher stays in charge of what actually goes to students.
Grow with us
Wordy Whiz is still growing, and that is part of the point. We would rather build it alongside educators and keep improving it than pretend it is already finished.
A quick note from us
If you are an educator who found Wordy Whiz and thought, "I hope the people building this actually understand what teaching is like," we want you to know that is exactly what we care about. This is a project being built close to the classroom, and we want the people who use it to feel heard as it gets better.
As Wordy Whiz grows, we plan to donate a portion of profits to Alzheimer’s research and caregiver support networks.
