Kellie Sappington - Director of Operations
Classes:  PHYS 1111, PHYS 1112, MSIT 3000, STAT 3000, GRE, GMAT

Kellie completed a double major in Math and Physics at the University of Georgia. She has lived in Athens for the past 12 years and is therefore a total townie.  She resides full-time with her husband, two pugs and cat, Scarlett. When Kellie is not tutoring, making packets, or answering your emails, she’s playing Wii, watching movies,  sports, and drinking beer (sometimes simultaneously). Don't get her started talking about trivia. Actually don't get her started talking about anything. She won't stop. Some of her hobbies include Beer Olympics, playing Guitar Hero, Rock Band, and any other game designed for twelve year old boys.

Graham Rees 
Classes: ACCT 2101, ACCT 2102

Graham is a National Merit scholar hailing from New Orleans, Louisiana. He graduated with honors from the University of Florida with a BS in Economics. He wrote his thesis on fair-trade-economic-theory with a focus on third world countries (he doesn't know what that means either, but thinks it sounds impressive).

Graham is an avid reader, golfer, and a HUGE Saints fan. Him and his dog, Cooper, can CRUSH you in Scrabble. 

 Matt Alvarez

Classes:  CHEM 2211, CHEM 2212, BCMB 3100 .

Matt is from Duluth, GA and will, as of December 2010, be a University of Georgia graduate. He has taken almost all the science classes that you are currently struggling in and drop-kicked them in the face.

He likes Jesus, Crown Royal, and football in that order. When he’s not tutoring, you might see him cruisin’ the streets of Athens and stuntin’ on his sweet lime-green moped. He smells like adventure, and 8 out of 5 professors agree that studying with him is 6 bazillion times better than studying somewhere else.

Jon Aleman - Tutor
Classes: STAT 2000

Jon is a National Hispanic Scholar hailing from South Florida. No, a National Hispanic Scholar does not specialize in lawn care or roofing. That’s rude and racist and you shouldn’t have said that.

Anyways, he graduated with a Bachelors of Science in Marketing from the University of Florida. After graduating, Jon taught AP Statistics and IB Mathematics for one of the top International Baccalaureate programs in the world. Shortly thereafter, he began his career at TutoringZone.

Jon thinks that you're, like, a really special person... but, he just wants to be friends for now.

Matthew Hintze -Owner of TutoringZone

Matt graduated with high honors from UCLA with a Bachelors Degree in Business Economics, and earned a Masters of Business Administration degree from the University of Florida, graduating number one in his class (4.0 overall GPA) while studying Finance and Entrepreneurship. After earning his Masters Degree, Matt was selected as the Marshall Criser Presidential Scholar and was enrolled in the graduate program in Finance at the University of Florida. While at the University of Florida, Matt has taught FIN 4414 (Financial Management), the capstone course towards completion of the undergraduate Finance major (average teaching evaluation is a 4.96 out of 5). Matt used to live by himself with no food in the fridge, no plants and definitely no animals. But since 2000 he has married his wife Larina and they now have three children: Madison, Cameron and Brennan; a dog, Colt, Dubya the cat and 14 gold fish. He used to enjoy skiing, golfing and Texas Hold em’ but now he just prays for more sleep and more hair.  And yes, he knows that he reminds people of Vince Vaughn and Kevin James.

Above are the photographs of most famous people at TutoringZone.   You may walk by them on the street and get the feeling you know them, but don't know how.  We recruited them from the local "special education" school.  So, please speak slowly to them, and try to avoid using big words.  They are all very specifically trained to count to 20, so don't try and pull a fast one on them.
