History
Kush Changela, the founder of TheTeenConnection, was a high school tutor as a part-time job throughout all of Junior and Senior year. During his time as a tutor, Kush realized that there were major problems that existed on both the consumer and tutor side of the tutoring business.
High school tutors are often not taken seriously, even though they are just as capable (perhaps even more capable) than their corporate counterparts. Furthermore, Kush found many people unknowingly overpay for tutoring with corporate businesses that often lack the personalized tutoring care that many students need. To address this, Kush, along with high school friend and co-founder, Kori Vernon, decided to start a company. Together, with their expertise in the fields of education, management, and marketing, they created a service that seeks to provide high-quality tutoring at an incredibly reduced cost in comparison to our competitors known as, TheTeenConnection.
