Our Story
Youth Empowering Youth Through Education
The Road to Educational Equality
Smart Kids Tutor strives to provide quality, accessible, affordable tutoring to students around the world in an effort to remove barriers on the road to educational equality. While we do this, we are simultaneously creating opportunities for highly skilled students to share their knowledge and make a difference.
Creating Opportunities
Intelligent youth are the most undervalued, overlooked, and exceptionally skilled demographic of the 21st century. While students are striving for success during the school day, they are underpaid and overworked at afterschool jobs, often trying to save for future education. We started Smart Kids Tutor to give advanced high school and college students the opportunity to use their skills to enact positive change, and get paid well for it too.
Strong Relationships for Lifelong Success
As a company run for students, by students, we know how daunting it can be to pursue educational assistance, especially after a full day spent in the classroom. At Smart Kids Tutor, we are working to create a comfortable, stress-free, fun learning environment where students will overcome challenges, further their understanding, and build relationships for lifelong success.
How We Got Here
In 2020, during the COVID-19 lockdown and virtual school transition, our founder Larissa was comparing biological cell division to blue food-dyed spaghetti in a virtual tutoring session. Little did she know this would lead her to assemble a team of talented tutors working to spread knowledge, understanding, and academic confidence. Over her junior and senior years of high school, she worked to find and teach new tutors, spread the word, and make education accessible to students across the United States.

Where We're Going
Since then, Smart Kids Tutor has grown exponentially, creating opportunities and reaching more students than we could have imagined. We’ve been able to begin new education initiatives and donate back to local schools, enacting change and impacting student’s school experiences for the better.
