Meet the Team

Esha Sharma founded The Language Treehouse to ensure language is a branch to opportunity, not a barrier to success, a mission rooted in her own upbringing in a multilingual household. Recognizing a critical gap in support for English language learners in K-12 education, she built an organization that provides tutoring to help ELL students and families navigate the educational system with confidence. Esha brings deep nonprofit leadership experience to this work, having previously been on the founding team and currently serving on the board of the Be W.I.S.E. Initiative to serve over 30 schools with STEM programming. She holds dual degrees from The Ohio State University in Political Science and Marketing, which she leverages to drive strategic growth and community impact. At the heart of her work is a lifelong commitment to creating safe, supportive spaces where every student feels heard and valued.

Growing up in a Hindu household where he was raised in a multilingual environment, Yash has always had a passion for cultural identity and the impact that language has on a student's sense of belonging, making the mission of The Language Treehouse very personal for him. Being a natural with kids and a lifelong learner, he has channeled his passion for life into competitive success, including back-to-back 2nd place finishes at FBLA States, a 1st place finish at DECA States for skills and leadership, and a top 50 semifinalist award at the Wharton Global High School Investment Competition, where he has become an expert in investment strategies, finance, data-based decision-making, and consulting. Additionally, he has been a youth member of Bharatiya Hindu Temple since 2020.
