Aaron and Joe start tutoring

Fresh out of college and eager to transform education, Aaron and Joe began working as private SAT tutors. Over the next two years, they drove from home to home, worked with hundreds of students, and generated a loyal following.

"Since founding AJ Tutoring, our purpose has been to create a group of professional, charismatic, and energetic educators who share our passion for teaching."

AJ Tutoring’s founding

Realizing that their time was limited, and frustrated by their inability to help all the students who needed their support, AJ Tutoring’s founders, Aaron and Joe, started AJ Tutoring in 2005.
