"Do not worry too much about your difficulties in mathematics, I can
assure you that mine are still greater."
Albert Einstein
Recommendation from Leo Ramirez
As a teacher and tutor for 47 years, I recognize teaching excellence. I know that Javier Garcia and Juan Garcia are two young men that will excel in their endeavor to tutor students or teams for many years to come. I was Javier’s tutor for 5 years. I knew Juan when he competed in mathematics at the high school level. Each is qualified to maximize the potential of any student or team that they work with. I highly recommend Education Academy.

Individual Profiles and Accolades
Javier Garcia
Co-Founder & Tutor/Mentor
Hello! I am a recent graduate of Stanford University, Class of 2020, where I studied Mechanical Engineering with a concentration in Dynamic Systems and Controls.
My love for math and engineering began in high school thanks to an absolutely amazing teacher, Mr. Garza. I am even more fascinated by the application of math in real world systems, hence, my studies at Stanford. My goal as Co-Founder and Mathematics Tutor at Education Academy is to inspire students to learn, like Mr. Garza inspired me, and share my love of math and the knowledge of projects I’ve accumulated over the years.

Hi! I am a recent graduate from Cornell University, Class of 2020, where I studied Operations Research and Information Engineering with a minor in Business
My love for Mathematics and Engineering came at an early age when I was introduced to UIL Mathematics in 2nd grade. Being able to learn and apply the various topics within Math to the real world guided me to my studies at Cornell. My goal as Co-Founder and Mathematics Tutor at Education Academy is to share my love for the subject that has given me everything I have today, and ultimately, make it simpler (and fun!!) for others to understand.

Testimonials
“I first met Andrew (Javier) and Juan by attending the practices my school held for academic competitions. Having moved to the United States 2 years prior, I was self-conscious about my speech and ability to understand English. However, due to their clear explanations and patience, I was able to greatly improve my knowledge. Their encouragement and positive attitude pushed me forward and excited me to learn even more. They had a huge impact in my academic career, as I am now studying in MIT. I can say that they are the best tutors I have had.”
- Antony Hernandez, MIT ‘23
“Tutoring by Juan and Andrew (Javier) was always fun. They would try to find your weaknesses and find ways that best fitted you to solve problems.”
