Lawrence
Totimeh Jr.

Lawrence speaks to schools, community groups, and organizations across the DMV, from TEDx stages to staff development days. His workshops cover planning and organization, decision-making, and career building, skills that carry students past graduation.

He delivered a TEDx talk and books engagements for assemblies, staff development days, parent nights, and community events. Watch the TEDx talk ↗  ·  Watch a graduation speech ↗

• TEDx speaker, available for assemblies and staff development days

Lawrence builds custom study tools for teachers, based on what you are teaching and how you teach it. Your students get reps at home from their phone: explanations, flashcards, and quizzes for each unit, with calendar reminders for what to study and when. You get another data point of support, so when a parent asks how you are supporting their student, you can show exactly where that student is getting reps and where they are struggling.

No logins and no student data. Progress is tracked under codes only you can match to names. Content lives in a spreadsheet you own, so you update your tool each semester instead of starting over. Free pilot semester for your first class, then flat per-class, per-semester pricing.

• Built from your syllabus, your units, and your exam calendar
• Explanations, flashcards, and quizzes for every unit, phone-first
• Calendar reminders students add straight to their phones
• Bilingual support for the students who need it
• No accounts, no logins, no student data collected
• You own the content and update it each semester from a spreadsheet
• Class-level usage and progress you can actually see

When Lawrence works with a community, he builds the system it's missing. Two free, bilingual study tools are already live: one for NCCER Core and one for Print Reading for Residential and Light Commercial Construction, both built alongside the actual classes each week.

Free for every student, no login, built to work on a phone.

Across the DMV, Lawrence hosts festivals, conferences, family reunions, and school and community events. He also performs with DMV City Slickerz, a Southern Soul line dance team hired to perform, teach, or bring the energy at events.

Birthdays, cookouts, graduations, and private parties too, across Maryland, DC, and Virginia.

• DMV City Slickerz available to perform, teach, or bring the energy to your event
