Who We Are

Our Story

  • In the summer of 2023, two recent high school graduates, Kiran and Aidan, turned their passion for education into a promising venture. After years of both informal and formal tutoring, the duo decided to establish their own business following a casual tutoring session with a friend who needed SAT help. They launched Affordable Tutoring Solutions with a dynamic, AI-integrated scheduling system and a self-designed standardized test prep curriculum. Throughout their first summer, they managed to tutor over 15 clients, attesting to their dedication and innovative approach. As summer waned, Kiran and Aidan prepared for their freshman year of college, slowing operations but maintaining their commitment by transitioning to remote management with the help of two new independent contractors. Over the academic year, they didn't just sustain the business; they enhanced it. The shift to a digital SAT necessitated a complete overhaul of their curriculum, which they undertook alongside refining their tutoring and learning management systems. By the start of Summer 2024, with a clear vision and concrete goals, they sought to advance Affordable Tutoring Solutions significantly. This period marked a transformation, with the launch of new technologies and a restructured pricing model; simultaneously, major improvements to their tutoring, scheduling, and billing systems were made. Kiran and Aidan's efforts culminated in setting major initiative goals aimed at increasing accessibility to affordable tutoring within their community and fostering the academic and personal growth of their students.

ATS Growth & Initiatives

Initiative #1: Title I Tutoring Internship
ATS plans to launch a transformative initiative with Title I schools—public schools with significant concentrations of low-income students—in Central Florida. We will aim to offer free tutoring, especially in SAT/ACT preparation, to enhance the educational outcomes of these students and broaden their future opportunities, allocating up to 30% of all income to potentially establish a paid internship program that will enable high-achieving high school and college students to provide this crucial service to low-income students who need it the most.
Initiative #2: ESL Tutoring in Local Community Centers
Following the successful implementation of our Title 1 school initiative, Affordable Tutoring Solutions will expand its outreach by getting our tutors ESL certified to assist immigrant families in need. In partnership with community centers, we will offer discounted ESL tutoring to help these families overcome language barriers and integrate more fully into their communities.
Initiative #3: DEI Training to Expand Tutoring Scope
Once we have established a robust team of tutors and secured sufficient funding, we plan to invest in specialized certifications and DEI training. This will enable us to expand our tutoring services to include students with special needs and specific learning disabilities, ensuring we can truly reach and support every member of our community.
