Meet Malique, the Founder, CEO, and Lead STEM Tutor of Tutor Me Today (TMT). What began as a pipe dream in 2021 quickly turned into a thriving educational service.

The business initially offered both in-person and virtual sessions but transitioned fully online in 2023 to better serve students across multiple counties. Today, TMT has grown into a dedicated team of six tutors and eleven staff members, partnering with over ten schools across Cobb, Fulton, and Forsyth Counties.
