I am a Georgia Certified Teacher with a diverse background. I have taught in both the middle and high school setting, multiple subjects. The last 11 years I have taught high school math, primarily Algebra. I take pride in helping students understand that which they find difficult, and to work with both students and parents to help children realize their capabilities and gain confidence.

Caroline Gault
I have both an undergrad and graduate degree in Elementary Education from The University of Mississippi! I love teaching and my passion grows more every day. I have grown up being dyslexic and not knowing it, always struggled in school, but was determined to overcome the struggles in school. My obstacles led me to Orton Gillingham and become OG trained. I love working with children, but especially k-2 grades.

Andrew Lee
Originally with a pre-med background, and after getting accepted to medical schools, he went back to school and achieved a Professional Educator License (secondary education in Illinois) and has taught students in all subjects ever since. Andrew has been teaching and coaching students of all ages for over 30+ years in private (and group) tutoring and in public and private schools. He specializes in middle-grade math and English. He also has many years of experience with college application essays and ACT / SAT prep and guidance.
Andrew believes in helping students to able to become self-sufficient in learning. He sums up his teaching philosophy as “I teach students to ultimately be able to catch fish for themselves instead of continuously relying on others to catch fish for them.”
KAREN SUMLIN
My name is Karen Sumlin, and I bring over 25 years of educational experience with me, spanning from homeschooling to traditional classroom teaching. I specialize in tutoring high school and college level mathematics, SAT/ACT preparedness, Spanish and English as a Second Language (ESL.)
All high school students are required to take a foreign language. Maybe your student is struggling with Spanish. I teach Spanish with a true accent because I learned it as a child.
My particular gift is the ability to explain difficult concepts in a way that the student can grasp. I have a BS in Mathematics, earned with a GPA of 4.0. Many students tell me that they can't do math, but what I have found is that they just haven't had the material that they are trying to grasp explained to them in a way that they can understand. I would love to help your student realize their true potential!
