LearnButWhy content is developed by education specialists, curriculum designers, and learning researchers working collaboratively to translate complex educational theory into practical guidance.
Our Approach
Our advisors bring expertise across neuroscience, developmental psychology, alternative pedagogies, and systems thinking. They draw from established research in learning science while maintaining a critical perspective on conventional educational models.
Content is researched using both academic sources and real-world insights from educators implementing transformation in their classrooms and schools.
Founder
LearnButWhy was founded by Onur, who brings over 25 years at the intersection of education, technology and entrepreneurship. After leading a tech startup to successful exit, Onur recognized that the rapid pace of technological change now demands fundamentally different set of traits and skills from humans entering the workforce.
Building on this foundation, the LearnButWhy team focuses on developing digital resources for a wide community of educators and school leaders.
Onur is also responsible for editorial oversight, so all our content is reviewed by him.

Methodology
We use AI tools for research, synthesis and content drafting. Oversight, editing and review by expert advisors ensure accuracy, clarity and alignment with our educational philosophy.
Our goal is to make rigorous educational research accessible without oversimplifying - and to challenge assumptions rather than reinforce them.
Our Commitment
- Evidence-based: We ground our work in neuroscience, developmental research, and proven pedagogical frameworks
- Practically focused: Theory matters only when it translates to real environments
- Critically minded: We question conventional wisdom, especially when it serves systems rather than learners
- Transparent: We acknowledge complexity and don't claim to have all the answers
