Our Story
A Pittsburgh Learning Platform, Since 2015
Three Rivers Learning Center was founded in 2015 by Michelle Saraka, a Pittsburgh educator who believed online learning should be practical, affordable, and taught by people who actually work in the field. What started as a small platform with 10 courses has grown into a full learning library with 200+ courses, 15 expert instructors, and 2,500+ active students.
Every course is built around real-world projects. You don't just watch videos - you build things. By the end of every course, you have a portfolio piece, a completion certificate, and skills you can use on day one.
We offer 200+ courses across 6 categories: Web Development, Design, Data Science, Digital Marketing, Business, and Photography. Whether you are starting from scratch or leveling up, there is a course for you.

From the Director
A Message from Michelle Saraka, Director
When I started Three Rivers Learning in 2015, I had one goal: make online learning practical and affordable for everyone. Too many courses were all theory and no practice. I wanted to change that.
Every course on our platform is built around real projects. You don't just learn the concepts - you build things you can show an employer or a client. That is the difference.
Whether you are starting from zero or leveling up your career, we are here to help. Welcome to Three Rivers Learning.
