Audrey Sherry Gunshor
As the owner and founder of EduSpace, Audrey is also the primary academic advisor with extensive experience and a seasoned teacher in both public and independent schools. Audrey is renowned for her ability to build meaningful connections with students. These relationships form the trust and mentorship necessary to allow students to feel comfortable in asking questions and pursuing lines of inquiry which are the foundations of critical thinking. EduSpace is a dedicated learning community designed to provide students with the support, guidance, and connection they need to thrive.
Audrey developed her educational philosophy from her deep passion for building relationships with learners, recognizing that confidence and academic success flourish when students are known. EduSpace is built on the belief that meaningful learning happens not just in the classroom, but in the between moments—before and after school, during lunch, study halls, or any time when students need one-on-one attention or small-group collaboration. Yet, often, classroom teachers lack the time or resources to provide this level of support or enrichment. eduspaceaspen fills this gap in so many student’s experiences.
