Meet Edward Underwood
The Mind Behind the Method That’s Restoring Learners to Themselves
"I didn’t become a teacher to serve the system—I became one to study it, outsmart it, and replace it."
I’m Edward Underwood—and I didn’t become an educator to play by the rules. I became one to study the system from the inside, expose its failures, and build a way out.
That way out became the Thought Purity Method, and it’s not just a learning strategy—it’s a rebellion against confusion, conformity, and deferred dreams.
I created Touchstone Learning Solutions to give learners what school never did:
1. Clarity in how they learn
2. Power over their path
3. A philosophy that turns obstacles into openings
If you’ve ever felt like the system was designed to keep you from your purpose—you’re right. That’s why I built a method to get you back to it.
I didn’t choose school—it chose me. And I hated it.
But I realized something: if I wanted to change it, I’d have to understand it better than anyone inside it.
So I became a certified educator. Got two degrees. Taught. Coached. Mentored.
And I paid close attention—not just to what worked, but to what never did.
I watched smart students burn out, eager learners get labeled, and gifted minds get stuck in bureaucratic loops.
I saw adults ashamed they couldn’t read, teens scared to dream, and systems too slow to care.
So I designed a system that could never do that to anyone again.
And now? It’s working.
Why the Thought Purity Method Exists:
Because we don’t need more tutors—we need truth tellers in education
Because the Trivium is more powerful than trendy test-prep
Because learning must be ethical, personal, and powerful
Because every learner deserves a code, not a curriculum
Because “Learn, Change, Improve” isn’t a slogan—it’s a battle plan
Who I Am (Authority Meets Heart):
Creator of the TPM Learning Profile—a tool that reveals how you actually learn
Developer of the Reading Mastery and Math Foundations Courses—based on ancient logic, modern science, and real results
Founder of the Warrior’s Path—where learning becomes a discipline, not a duty
Educator, counselor, mentor, rebel—with over a decade in learning systems
Practitioner of the Trivium, Socratic Inquiry, and the Principled Path to Mastery
Builder of a new education—where learners don’t compete, they rise
The Belief That Drives It All:
“I don’t fix broken learners. I clear the fog so they can learn what they want to learn.”
– Edward Underwood
If you’re tired of feeling stuck, lost, or like you missed your shot—don’t give up.
You weren’t broken. You were never given the keys.
