What is Quizlet? Quizlet is a free website providing learning tools for students, including

Sutherland in 2005 and now contains over 400 million study sets. All of the material is usergenerated.
Why Quizlet?
Because…
Teachers ❤ Quizlet
It is a great way to engage your students.
It's free…
It makes it easy to learn vocabulary!
Quizlet has no pre-determined curriculum. Students define what they need to learn, and we
provide the tools. We help Art History majors learn paintings, Spanish students learn their
verbs, 5th graders learn their spelling words, and new waiters learn the menus of their
restaurants. Our aim is to build software that any learner can use, so we make most of our stuff
free.
The Quizlet Story: Quizlet was founded in 2005 by 15-year-old Andrew Sutherland for a
high-school French class. He wanted an easy-to-use tool for learning vocabulary. He built
Quizlet for himself, shared it with his friends, and it grew from there.
Quizlet is now among the largest educational websites in the world. Millions of teachers and
students from every country in the world use Quizlet. Because our website is free, we see no
limit to the number of people who could use it. Quizlet is headquartered in downtown San
Francisco, California.
