Ep. 198: Many Voices, One Community with Dr. Jeremy Tigerman
In this inspiring episode of Many Voices, One Community, host Gaitley Stevenson-Mathews sits down with Dr. Jeremy Tiegerman, COO of the Tigerman School, to explore a remarkable family legacy of education, advocacy, and empowerment. Founded by his mother in 1985, the school began as a preschool for speech- and language-impaired children and has grown into a multi-location, full life-cycle agency serving students from preschool through adulthood across Long Island and New York City.
Dr. Tigerman shares his personal journey — from running around the halls as a child while his mother worked, to becoming a school psychologist, principal, and now COO — and how his family’s deep commitment to education shaped his career. The conversation covers the school’s unique language immersion model, exceptionally low student–teacher ratios, and the individualized support that transforms challenges into strengths.
With heartwarming success stories, including graduates who have gone on to higher education and thriving careers, this episode celebrates the power of believing in every student’s potential. It’s a testament to how one family’s vision can impact thousands of lives — and a reminder that every voice matters in building one community.
