The Educators Behind Florida Civics Prep.

This program wasn't built by a content mill. It was built by educators who've spent their careers getting students across high-stakes finish lines — and have the track record to prove it.

Dr. Jason Ampel
CEO & Founder

Dr. Jason Ampel

Dr. Jason Ampel ("Dr. A") has spent 23+ years in education — 10 years teaching social studies in Orange County and Lake County schools, and 10 years as a professor in the University of Central Florida's College of Education, teaching bachelor's, master's, and doctoral courses.

In 2014 he founded The Learning Liaisons, where he helped 70,000+ educators across the U.S. prepare for and pass their certification exams. Today he brings that classroom, university, and exam-prep experience to one mission: helping Florida high school and college students pass the FCLE.

A self-described B-track student who taught himself to beat tests, Dr. A builds everything on one belief — confidence is built, not born.

Built by Educators, Not a Content Mill

Real Classroom & Exam-Prep Experience

Between them, Dr. Ampel and Andy Wade bring decades in Florida classrooms, university lecture halls, and the high-stakes world of exam prep. They've sat where your students sit, taught the standards the FCLE is built on, and helped tens of thousands of people pass tests that decide careers and degrees.

That's the difference: this isn't generic test prep. It's a program built by people who know exactly how this exam works — and exactly how to get you ready for it.
