ABOUT
Feel like you’re just not getting it? Like there’s some “secret sauce" nobody knows but the valedictorian of your class?
Potential is a group of highly motivated, intelligent and diverse individuals. Our team shares a passion for education, problem solving and mentorship. We won’t just teach you how to solve a quadratic equation but also how to build critical habits that you can use in college and beyond. We link academics to applicable skills.
Because after you learn the quadratic equation, what’s next? How can you apply the skills from your algebra class to the way you approach an AP English course or your personal statement for college?
That’s the secret sauce.
The Mission
According to a 2021 study conducted by McKinsey & Co, students were left approximately “five months behind in math and four months behind in reading,” a fall behind in academics defined by researchers as “unfinished learning.” Data results from Curriculum i- Ready in school assessment, taken by over 1.6 million students across more than 40 states, found that they were 10 points behind in math and nine points behind in reading (Dorn, 2021).
With continual shifts in teachers, course styles, and technology, it provokes us to constantly ask ourselves, how can we maximize learning potential right now? How can we build better learners?
That’s our mission.

A Note From Our Founder
It all starts with a goal.
Despite maintaining a 4.0 GPA in high school, earning an acceptance to Cornell University, and receiving the presidential scholarship at the University of Miami, I struggled with college level exams during my first semester at university. I changed my major, considered transferring or taking a gap year. One day, I had an emotional breakdown on my dorm room floor. Needless to say, college was an adjustment.
I always thought: “what if I had a mentor, someone who already had this experience and could serve as a guide?” Someone who could provide me with practical study habits, skills and resources that facilitate success. After graduating from Cornell a semester early, I started tutoring adolescents around the world and developed a passion for helping others realize their true potential, whether it be a 20 point improvement on an exam or an acceptance to a dream college.
