About Us

Hi! I'm Jesse, your tutor. I am a Knoxville, TN native and a Webb School of Knoxville graduate. I received a Bachelor's of Science in Business Administration in 2006 from the University of Tennessee, majoring in Management and Human Resource Development. I graduated a member of the Dean’s List and a member of the Phi Eta Sigma National Honor Society, Phi Sigma Theta and National Society of Collegiate Scholars. After graduation, I became a Licensed Private Investigator, and I currently am a partner in my family's pre-employment screening business.

My wife, Allison, and I have 2 dogs: a Weimaraner named Rally and an Australian Shepherd mix named Bandit. Allison graduated Valedictorian at Sevier County High School and Summa Cum Laude from the University of Tennessee, majoring in both English and Psychology. She currently pursues a Master’s degree in Social Work at the University of Tennessee.

In addition to working for my family’s company, I have spent a year working for a local testing preparation company, where I discovered how much I enjoyed helping students prepare for standardized tests... and reach their full potential. In addition to learning the tips, tricks and strategies for success on standardized tests, I gathered invaluable experience in how to best help students of all achievement levels.
