Our Story
Potencia Inc. was founded in 2019 by international graduate students at Tufts University, driven by a mission to transform language learning for adults with limited English skills. Recognizing that over 95% of adult English learning needs in Greater Boston and across the U.S. remain unmet, Potencia was established as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in 2021. With a dedicated team of tutors from six universities, Potencia has contributed over 1,700 learning hours to empower communities through accessible, flexible, and affordable language education.
