Mozi
Chief Operating Officer
John Matich is the co-creator of Mozi, a writing software used both in secondary schools and college to help students produce focused, organized writing in all of their classes. Prior to co-founding an education software company, John was the director of professional development at a large education intermediary in Los Angeles. During his tenure, John led a team of thirty-five coaches who worked across the Los Angeles area to support the continuous growth of educators throughout the educational ecosystem. John began his career as a teacher in Santa Ana Unified. After five years, he moved to Los Angeles where he taught at one of the most challenging middle school in South Los Angeles. It was working with teachers and students at this school that fueled John’s commitment to improve the conditions for teaching and learning in our schools. This drive continues to inform John’s work in the area of college-ready writing. John is determined to see more students getting into and succeeding in post-secondary learning and in their careers.
