Meet the founder
A leader who knows the journey personally
Hi! I'm Aarav Agrawal. I was born in Thailand and raised in Mexico, and I’ve lived in several different countries before moving to the U.S. as a high schooler. Because of my experiences moving between cultures and languages, I know firsthand the challenges that immigrant students face, especially when it comes to learning in a language that isn’t your first.
I started ESL Teen Tutors because I wanted to create a community where students struggling with English, or any language barrier, can get personalized, one-on-one support from peers who understand them. I’ve personally tutored students in English, Spanish, and Hindi, and I’ve seen how much of a difference a patient, culturally aware tutor can make. Our program connects certified teen tutors with younger students, giving them guidance in their native language while also helping tutors gain teaching experience and volunteer hours.
My goal is simple: to make learning accessible, empowering, and relatable for every student navigating the challenges of a new language or school system.
