My name is Kavon, and I am a recent graduate of Brown University (Class of 2025), where I earned a degree in Biophysics. I am currently living in Providence conducting clinical research while applying to medical school. I tutor the following K-12 subjects: Math up until multivariable calculus, Physics/Biology/Chemistry up to college level, English, Computer Science, and Athletics - Soccer, Basketball, Tennis. During my undergraduate years, I served as a tutor with the Brown Refugee Youth Tutoring and Enrichment (BRYTE) program, an experience I found very rewarding and formative. Working closely with my tutee reinforced my love for teaching and mentoring, and I am excited to return to tutoring in a more formal capacity. Academically, I am especially interested in tutoring STEM subjects, particularly math and science. My tutoring style emphasizes learning by doing: working through example problems together, encouraging independent thinking, and stepping in to guide rather than immediately provide answers. This approach helped my tutee build confidence and achieve improvement on their math and science exams. Outside of academics, I have a strong background in athletics. I grew up playing competitive soccer and basketball, played for the Brown Club Soccer team, and also competed in tennis tournaments as a kid. It would be an honor to share both academic support and athletic skills with others, drawing on lessons from my own coaches and team experiences.
Kavon works with students from the following schools:
Kavon offers in-person tutoring on or near the Brown University campus for families across Providence Rhode Island, East Providence Rhode Island, Pawtucket Rhode Island, Cranston Rhode Island, Seekonk Massachusetts, Providence County Rhode Island.
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. Kavon 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.
