Meet the Founders
Tzippy Rav-Noy, Co-Founder
Head of Product
Tzippy’s education experience began straight out of high school and lasted for over 20 years and four continents. She taught all ages, including preschool and elementary school, and served as a middle school principal for several years. But throughout, her most profound passion was literacy. So when her two eldest kids struggled with reading, she set out to discover why and how she can help other parents in the same predicament. Tzippy lives in Los Angeles with her husband Eyal, five children, and their dog Luna.
Eyal Rav-Noy, Co-Founder
Head of Research and Development
Eyal spent 25 years teaching various subjects to adults of all ages in his adult education center. His most fulfilling and popular course was teaching adult students to read. Over time, Eyal and his wife Tzippy developed a unique approach to literacy instruction. After poring over the research on language development and reading science, Eyal and Tzippy created a new phonics solution, CAPIT Reading. Eyal lives in Los Angeles with his wife, five children, and their dog Luna; and enjoys running all over Los Angeles as he prepares for the next marathon.
The founders spent a year beta testing the CAPIT Reading Curriculum with real students in a Los Angeles charter school classroom. They became “volunteer teachers” and spent three days a week in the classroom. Clearly, the Kindergarten kids loved them!
