My name is Elias, and I am a freshman at Emory University planning to major in Mathematics, with a possible second major in Physics or Political Science. I study on the Atlanta campus. I graduated from Freedom High School in Orlando, Florida in 2025, where I received school awards in Math, Science, and Macroeconomics. I am also a QuestBridge Scholar. I tutor Math, Physics, English, essay prep, Chemistry, Biology, SAT/PSAT prep, ACT prep, and chess. I scored 1550 on the SAT (790 Math, 760 EVBRW) and 34 on the ACT. My AP Scores were: Biology (5), Calculus BC (5), Chemistry (4), English Language and Composition (5), English Literature and Composition (5), Environmental Science (5), Macroeconomics (5), Physics 1 (5), Physics C Electricity and Magnetism (5), Physics C Mechanics (5), Seminar (4), Statistics (5), United States Government (5), US History (4). I have always enjoyed both learning and teaching. During my senior year of high school, I worked as a tutor for K–12 students. Through that experience, I developed a range of tutoring strategies so I could adapt my teaching style to each student’s learning needs. I also volunteered as an SAT Math tutor with an organization that connected me with students across the United States. These experiences helped me learn how to explain complex ideas in clear, accessible ways while still preserving the depth of the material. My goal as a tutor is not only to help students solve problems, but also to build their confidence and understanding. I look forward to working with you!
Elias works with students from the following schools:
Elias offers in-person tutoring on or near the Emory University campus for families across Decatur Georgia, North Decatur Georgia, Scottdale Georgia, Avondale Estates, Druid Hills Georgia, Atlanta Georgia, DeKalb County Georgia, Fulton County Georgia.
If you have a specific tutor in mind, you're welcome to request them directly — we'll confirm whether they're available and the right fit for your student. Otherwise, Ryan writes a personal email to understand your student's needs, learning style, and goals — then handpicks a tutor from the roster. You're not filling out a form and getting assigned randomly. If the first tutor isn't the right fit after the first session, we'll find you a better match at no extra charge.
Yes. Many families start with a single session to see how the tutor and student connect before committing to a regular schedule. There's no pressure to book in advance — reach out and we'll set something up.
Yes. Many of our tutors are strong across several subjects, and sessions can cover more than one if that's what the student needs that week. Flexibility is built into how we work.
Most of our tutors continue working through breaks, either online or in-person at the college if the tutors remain on campus during that vacation. We'll let you know in advance if a tutor has a gap in availability and arrange coverage with one of our other tutors — in-person or online — in the required subject.
Occasionally, if the student lives very close to the tutor's campus. Most sessions take place on or near the college campus or online. This keeps sessions in an academically focused environment — which tends to produce better results.
The families who see the biggest results are the ones who commit to a regular cadence — typically once, twice, or three times a week. One-on-one tutoring with a student from an elite college, who genuinely understands the material, is a fundamentally different experience from a tutoring center or an app. Most of our clients stay with us for multiple semesters.

That depends on where your student is starting and how consistently they show up. Elias will identify the specific gaps, focus sessions on them, and adjust as the student progresses. Families who stick to a weekly schedule typically see meaningful progress within four to six weeks.
