Emme - Founder

Hi! My name is Emme and I am the founder of Tutor Together! I founded this organization in 2020 after I saw the disparities within education in my community due to the COVID-19 pandemic. I believe that everyone should have equal access to educational opportunities and resources, and should not be inhibited by socioeconomic status or any other limiting factors. I am so proud and happy that we are in our third year of serving our community and promoting educational equity!
