About Us

The idea for dimwitnot.com was conceived by a high school student in Northern California. Vincent Leon was a peer tutor in the school tutoring program. When the program was terminated, he sought to bring its benefits to a wider audience. He and Victoria Leon and his team reviewed numerous tutoring programs (online and offline). The benefits of peer tutoring, study halls and social networking were combined into a unique service and dimwitnot.com was born.

A big thank you goes to Vic Morris of The First Tee of Contra Costa for introducing us to Jim McGinley of Foresters. Special thanks goes to Jim McGinley and Jack Knellinger of Foresters, who sponsored and guided our project through Youth Venture which in turn provided us some seed money to start dimwitnot.com. An additional thank you and appreciation goes to George Buys of Talking Communities for his contribution in helping to turn our ideas into reality. Other thanks go to the Business Club at Diablo Valley College and the Business Selection Panel. Last, but not least, we thank our Mom and Dad for their encouragement and support of our venture and instilling in us the spirit of community service.

She represented dimwitnot.com at the 2007 Global Knowledge Forum (GK3) in Malaysia and was the youngest attendee.
