"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, Aaron and Joe started AJ Tutoring in 2005.
