We are Donovan and Elesha Grace, a married, millennial couple looking to take the tutoring world by storm! With a combined 10-plus years of experience, we have put our minds and passion projects together in hopes of making a serious impact in the lives of our students. We recognize the need for educational support, especially in minority communities and we are working hard to provide that service. With God's vision over our lives, we yearn to help students both in Georgia and across the world.
