“It’s rough being a teenager in this day and age.”
― Kay Panabaker
Express Yourself! examines teen life and a free program for tutoring by teens. Nerd extraordinaire, Keerthi, starts the show with a humorous segment on a journey through teenhood and an accurate biography of teen lives! She announces, “Ladies, gentlemen, and the indescribable enigma that is high school lunchroom mac 'n' cheese—I stand before you today as the humble ambassador of Teenhood, the grand connoisseur of awkward encounters, and the undisputed champion of meme-worthy moments. Yes, my fellow adolescents, we are gathered here in the grand amphitheater of teenage tribulations to celebrate the rollercoaster ride that is our collective teenage existence.” After Keerthi provides an overview of the chaos and amusements of teenage years, she interviews the President of the Georgia chapter of Teens Tutor Teens, Meryl, who expertly explains the importance of free tutoring for teens. Meryl is very well-spoken and a passionate ambassador for the Teens Tutor Teens program. Be the Star You Are!® collaborates with the Georgia chapter.

The GA chapter of Teens Tutor Teens has established both state and international partnerships to spread our tutoring services. For example, we have partnered with Raising A Scholar, a Zambian-based educational organization, and Project Access, a U.S. based aftercare program, to give our tutors chances to provide virtual education to students of these groups. In addition to tutoring, we prioritize leadership and outreach opportunities for our members. With monthly outreach assignments, leadership workshops, and effective communication between tutors, chapter heads, and the executive board, Teens Tutor Teens hopes to grow into an organization that provides accessible tutoring to a sizable audience. Specifically, TTT GA collaborates with Be the Star You Are!® to foster literacy to all youth throughout the nation.
