Dr. Biruk Alemayehu’s Journey to Transform Education

Practical Professor was born out of the vision and extensive experience of Dr. Biruk Alemayehu, who recognized the limitations of traditional education systems. With a PhD in Public Policy, a master's in accounting, and over 13 years of university teaching experience, Dr. Alemayehu saw many eager learners who couldn't thrive in conventional settings. Inspired by global travels and a diverse professional background, Dr. Alemayehu created Practical Professor to offer practical, real-world education that is flexible and accessible to all. This platform was designed to bridge the gap between traditional education and the practical skills needed in the real world, making high-quality education and professional development attainable for individuals seeking practical skills and certifications.

Dr. Alemayehu's journey as an educator and lifelong learner, combined with experiences in founding a successful restaurant and working with international nonprofits, fueled the creation of Practical Professor. With a commitment to inclusivity and diversity, the platform supports and welcomes educators from non-traditional backgrounds to share their expertise. We aim to empower individuals by providing flexible, accessible learning opportunities that fit into busy lives and address real-world needs. Join us in this mission to make practical education available to everyone, regardless of their background or geographical location.
