Theresa R.

Throughout her many years at school, Theresa R. worked to create a learning environment where ideas can flow freely and expanding knowledge is the name of the game. She learned to share her values and teaching experiences with others all the way back in high school, when her English teachers allowed her to begin tutoring other students in the ways of reading and writing. Following this, she graduated from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette with a degree in English, alongside a minor in History. From there, she went on to get her Master’s in Literature at the University of Texas at Dallas, where she not only focused on writing, literature, and grammar, but also took several classes in history, from Native Americans in the U.S. to women’s place in Europe during war times. Though her focus these days has been on her job in generative A.I. for Google’s Gemini, helping and tutoring others has been a passion that she wants to pursue once more. She plans to bring her excitement for learning, as well as her skills in American Sign Language (ASL) that she picked up while in Lafayette, to help young people in today’s educational environment. She provides a hands-on learning experience for those who may be struggling and brings a passion for literature and history that is infectious, all while fostering a safe and fun environment for children of all ages.

Luke H.

Luke is a dedicated tutor based in Marietta, Georgia, bringing a rare combination of academic excellence and real-world resilience to every student he works with. A four-time consecutive Dean’s List honoree at Kennesaw State University, Luke graduated with honors in Biology in December 2025 and has since been accepted into KSU’s Master of Science in Integrative Biology program. His ability to connect with students of all ages is no accident. Luke is the youngest in his family, both his parents were the youngest in theirs, and he spent years studying alongside people much younger than himself after returning to college at 38, giving him a natural ease in spanning generations. His teaching instincts were recognized early at KSU, where his own classmates elected him (despite the position not being an election!) as their Supplemental Instruction leader for Introduction to Biology while he was still taking the course, a distinction that speaks for itself.

Having personally navigated diagnoses of ADHD and OCD throughout his studies, Luke brings genuine empathy and creative problem-solving to students who learn differently. His sessions are built around analogies, drawing concepts out visually, and focusing only on the very next step so students never feel overwhelmed. He looks forward to working with students from elementary through high school in Science, English, Reading, Writing, and Social Studies. When he is not tutoring, Luke is a huge nerd who has to keep busy, spending his time remodelling, painting miniatures, playing bass, tinkering with hobby electronics, and living by his personal motto: “No growth in comfort, no comfort in growth.”
