Georgiana K.

Georgiana “Jojo” Kamau is a passionate engineering student at Louisiana State University with a strong love for STEM, mathematics, and problem-solving. As an engineering student, Georgiana understands that math and science can sometimes feel overwhelming, and she enjoys helping students turn challenging concepts into something they can understand and feel confident doing on their own.

She believes that tutoring should be more than simply getting the right answer. It should help students develop curiosity, critical-thinking skills, and the confidence to tackle problems independently. Georgiana takes a personalized approach to learning and enjoys finding creative ways to explain concepts based on how each student learns best. Her enthusiasm for STEM is contagious, and she loves showing students that math and science are not just subjects in a classroom, but tools they can use to understand and change the world around them.

Outside of tutoring and engineering, Georgiana enjoys being involved in leadership and mentoring, meeting new people, and exploring new experiences. Her favorite kind of problem is one that looks impossible at first because there is nothing better than watching a student have that “I finally get it!” moment.

Todd M.

Todd is an experienced science educator, biological scientist, and outdoor educator with more than 15 years of experience helping students understand and appreciate the natural world. With expertise spanning biology, chemistry, environmental science, anatomy, and the earth sciences, Todd is passionate about showing students that science is much more than memorizing vocabulary and formulas—it is a way of understanding how the world around them works.

Todd earned his Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of Louisiana and pursued graduate study in Environmental Health Science at the University of Georgia. His scientific background extends well beyond the classroom and includes professional experience in ecological research, environmental science, wildlife biology, and federal environmental programs.

Before focusing primarily on education, Todd worked as a Physical Scientist with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), where his work involved environmental policy, air quality, offshore exploration, and federal environmental regulations. He also served as a research associate studying carbon sequestration in southeastern U.S. swamps and wetlands and worked as a biological science technician conducting field surveys of wildlife populations, endangered plant studies, and conservation programs.

Todd brings this extensive real-world scientific experience directly into his teaching. As a science instructor, he has taught Biology, Chemistry, and Environmental Science while developing curricula that incorporate hands-on experiments, interactive activities, and outdoor educational experiences. His greatest area of expertise is the biological sciences, and he especially enjoys helping students connect concepts from biology and ecology to things they can observe and investigate in everyday life.

His tutoring expertise includes Biology, AP Biology, Cell Biology, , Anatomy, Chemistry, AP Chemistry, Physics, Physical Science, Earth Science, Environmental Science, Geology, and Space Science, as well as middle school math. Todd also supports students preparing for 8th-grade Science STAAR, the ACT, and the TEAS exam, along with helping students develop stronger study habits and test-taking strategies.

One of Todd’s greatest strengths is his ability to make science tangible. Rather than relying solely on textbooks, he enjoys using experiments, demonstrations, outdoor exploration, and real-world examples to help students understand why scientific concepts work. His background as both a scientist and outdoor educator allows him to answer the question students so often ask: “When am I ever going to use this?”

Throughout his teaching career, Todd has worked with students representing a wide range of abilities, learning styles, and confidence levels. He believes students learn best when they feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, testing ideas, and discovering answers for themselves. His tutoring style is patient, encouraging, and highly interactive, with an emphasis on building genuine understanding rather than short-term memorization.

As both an educator and the father of three teenage boys, Todd also understands that no two students learn exactly the same way. Sometimes a student simply needs to hear a concept explained differently or see it demonstrated in a new context before everything begins to click. His goal is to identify that connection for each learner and use it to build greater confidence, curiosity, and independence.

Outside of education, Todd enjoys hiking, camping, geocaching, and exploring the natural world with his family. He is also a former drummer—a background that may explain both his appreciation for creativity and his comfort managing the occasional controlled chaos that comes with helping young people learn.

Ultimately, Todd wants students to leave tutoring with more than improved grades. He strives to help them become stronger problem-solvers, more confident learners, and perhaps even discover that science can actually be fun.

Muzammal C.

Muzammal is an Information Translator with over 22 years of experience in getting technical information understood in a non-technical manner. He started at Mercer University in Macon, GA for 3 years before transferring to Kennesaw State University to finish his two bachelor degrees in Information System and Information Security. Muzammal went on to finish his Master’s degree in Information Systems and minor in Cybersecurity, along with getting CompTIA Server+, Network+, and Security+ certifications. Learning how to learn something is the same as learning the rules of the game, and he does an amazing job getting students to spark their pilot light of learning and interest in doing well in school. Muzammal transforms people into professional learners that can conquer their fears of Math or English by making learning an enjoyable adventure. The unknown does make one wonder how to swim through the lake of knowledge, but having Muzammal as a guide on the journey of learning is the best way to get across in a fun and safe manner. Biggest mistake Muzammal has seen in all his years helping people, is that people worry about knowing everything. It is impossible to know everything, so worrying about the impossible does not help the mind process what is being absorbed. Instead, shifting focus to understanding why something works helps bring out questions that can help make a chemical change in the brain. The brain is made up of chemical reactions, and the perception of those reactions is how we see, think, talk, etc. If the right questions are not asked, then true learning has not occurred. Muzammal is always open to questions and can explain things in multiple dimensions. He is the only IT and Cybersecurity guy who loves to teach Chemistry, Biology, Calculus, IT, Databases, Cybersecurity and anything technical that would need an Information Translator. On his time off from work, Muzammal enjoys going on hikes at Stone Mountain and many other trails all over Georgia.
