Our Team

Our work goes beyond academics; we build trust, serve as mentors, and guide students to develop the confidence and skills they need to thrive.

Skyler Siegel

Skyler graduated from Washington University in St. Louis with a dual degree in Film and Finance. He started tutoring in 2017 after working at Citigroup as a Structured Debt Trader for several years. Since then, he has gained experience working for several tutoring businesses, primarily focused on college prep. 

While his specialties include test-prep, resume building, and essay writing, he has developed a niche with organizationally challenged students. As someone with ADD, he finds that he can provide assistance to students with similar learning disabilities, to harness their individuality into a superpower. 

He has worked with over 200 happy families, and knows how to navigate the college admissions process from start to finish.
