The Tutors
We met each other in kindergarten and have been great friends since then. We are currently seniors at South Pasadena High School, taking honors math and English classes
​
Individually, we are hardworking and dependable. Together, we work efficiently and help motivate each other. We learned this when we entered a Destination Imagination team competition. We advanced from regionals to the state competition and was happily awarded 2nd place in California! Through this experience, we learned that with hard work and focus anything is possible but, achieving things together with good friends is even more rewarding!
We'd love to meet and work with your kids!
