Abhay Paharia - 11th Grade

My brother and I have been tutoring kids in Detroit since fifth grade. Every summer we would accompany our parents to their work place and assist children in Math and English. Over years we have gotten more involved and have provided the children with website to communicate with us throughout the year. Academicexchange.org helps students request tutoring, schedule classes, and borrow many books we have provided as extra resource. In the last couple of years we have increased the scope with more sessions each Friday even during the school year. Many of our students have continued to return for academic help, and some of them have begun tutoring their peers at their school as well as other students needing help in our program. We are very fortunate to have been allowed in their lives and their encouragement has given us the support to continue and make a difference in the community.
