Meet the Ali, the founder

Hi! I’m Ali Polansky, the founder of My Total Tutor! I started this tutoring business because I’m passionate about helping students become confident, independent learners.

With a degree in Cognitive Science from UCLA, I’ve spent years understanding how people learn and grow, and I love using that knowledge to tailor my tutoring approach to each student. My goal is to not just help with schoolwork, but to empower students with the tools they need to succeed on their own.
