  • 6-12th Grade Reading and Math Tutor

    Khalilah is an experienced educator and academic leader who holds a Master’s in Curriculum and Instruction. She brings years of experience working directly with middle and high school students across a range of academic abilities and supporting students in strengthening their foundational math skills, confidence, and problem-solving abilities.

    Khaliliah believes every student can learn, but not every student learns in the same way. She focuses on meeting students where they are, identifying learning gaps, and breaking challenging concepts into clear, manageable steps while helping students make meaningful connections to real life.

    Her goal is to help students understand why an answer makes sense, build confidence in their abilities, and develop skills they can use independently in the classroom and beyond.

  • K-5th Reading and Math Tutor

    With over 30 years of experience in education, Pat brings a wealth of knowledge, warmth, and expertise to every tutoring session. Pat holds a master’s and specialist degree from the University of West Georgia in Elementary Education (P–8), Early Childhood Education (P–5), and Library Media (P–12). She spent her career serving in the Atlanta City School System before retiring — only to discover that she deeply missed teaching and supporting young learners. This led her back to her passion through part-time tutoring, where she continues to make a meaningful impact.

    Pat’s tutoring philosophy centers on inspiring and empowering students to become lifelong learners and confident critical thinkers. She creates a fun, nurturing environment where children feel safe asking questions, exploring new ideas, and celebrating their progress. She firmly believes that every student can succeed with the right support and guidance.
