Pittsburgh, Penn. (PRWEB) April 15, 2016 -- Think Through Learning, creators of Think Through Math, the award-winning web-based math instructional system for grades 3 and above, announced the promotion of Jim Martin to the role of Senior Vice President of Sales, responsible for leading the company’s rapid expansion of its sales efforts in the K-12 and higher education markets.

Under Jim’s leadership, we will rapidly expand into more schools, districts and states by partnering with educators to implement our unique solution of online instruction and on-demand live tutoring.”
