Atlanta Scholars

About Atlanta Scholars

If you are seeking aspirational educational and professional levels, you are in the right place. Atlanta Scholars is a tutoring and mentorship service for Greater Atlanta students.

Building Strong Minds

Sometimes there are obstacles that can prevent a student from performing their best in school and on standardized tests. Whatever the obstacles, our tutors are experienced in helping students overcome those challenges, opening the gate to achieving higher scores. Many of our tutors are themselves students or recent students so they have a keen understand of the academic pressures facing today's middle and high school students.

Atlanta Scholars recognizes that getting high scores is only one part of success. The other part is applying students’ achievements in a way that maximizes their candidacy for a university or job. When, for example, multiple students graduate from high school with a 3.5 GPA and a 35 score on the ACT, which student does the university accept? Moreover, as one of our tutors mentioned: “in high school the focus of guidance counselors was getting students into their top choice university… but what about assessing the different majors, long-term professional routes, and realities of these professions?” These discussions are necessary components of a smart approach to life.

That’s where the mentors of Atlanta Scholars come in, guiding their students’ next steps in life. Now more than ever, traditional fields of study and business are becoming increasingly more interdisciplinary and dynamic. In the global market, university and job candidates must be able to exhibit a wide variety of skills and professional traits.

Mission

Atlanta Scholars’ mission is to help students attain overall higher levels of success in school and more informed ideas of their future. Our approach is faithful to the word ‘educate,’ from the Latin origin educare, to ‘bring forth.’ Our tutors challenge students to think for themselves and arrive at the answer through their own critical reasoning. Our mentors value the transmission of knowledge from those who have been there to those who are on their way. Knowledge coupled with guidance is the sound foundation of a scholar and a successful member of society.

 

Testimonials

  • Our tutor is Kareem and we are so lucky to have him. He’s always on time, prepared, and engaged for the tutoring sessions. He has a wealth of academic and cultural experiences, so he can explain school assignments from a very practical and first-person perspective. As a tutor, Kareem is motivating but also willing to challenge a student to help them discover their potential.

  • My boys have been meeting with Kareem to review grammar concepts and improve their writing skills. Kareem is very professional and has a knack for engaging my children, and making the sessions fun. He's very knowledgable, and knows when to challenge my children to put more thought into their answers and writings, without making them feel as though the information is "over their heads". He's talented in coming up words that are current in my children's vocabulary, to help them find the common root words to decipher new words introduced in school. He's helped them improve their writing skills, and has coached them with questions to ask themselves to ensure they are getting across to the reader their intention when writing their papers. As a parent, it's comforting to know my children are being well taught and look forward to their sessions with Kareem.

  • I highly recommend Atlanta Scholars for tutoring! They tutored my high school senior last semester and my son would not have passed World Lit without Kareem's help!  Kareem is excellent at seeing the problems and addressing the issues with patient persistence! My son enjoyed working with Kareem and appreciated his knowledge and ability to explain the work process for each issue.
