What is Top Tutors?

  • I’m Smriti VanNess (pronounced: Smri-thee) and I am the founder and sole tutor at Top Tutors (TT).
  • Due to the emphasis on STEM education and the pressures on students and families to  become proficient in mathematics, coding and other computer technologies, I am extending my services and want to be a resource to help students in these subjects.
  • I am a Mathematics and Information Technology tutor at Atlanta universities and colleges. I have also used my ten years experience of working in the IT industry to help all students in technology.
  • I am extremely enthusiastic, positive and like working with all students!

Our Services

  • I teach Math from K-12 (Elementary, algebra 1 and 2, geometry, college algebra) and college level (pre-calculus, statistics, math for education and nursing majors, math for non-STEM fields, math for various entrance exams, math for physics and chemistry).
  • Private lessons to reinforce skills, learn new, and how to tie it all together. If your student does not like math, that means they probably do not understand it. I strongly encourage you to try Top Tutors, all the upcoming years of math can be made bearable.
  • Study guides, exam taking tips. I see too often, students don’t know how to budget their time and therefore leave much of the test undone, leading to low grades.
  • I can teach many topics related to computer science and programming.

What makes Top Tutors unique

Empathy and passion…

  • I am passionate and empathetic toward students and realize that math can be a challenge. I remember my own struggles when I was very young, I was so afraid to ask for help. So, I want to be that teacher where the student feels they can go to.
  • Throughout my teaching experiences from being a tutor at Georgia State University while doing my Graduate degree to more recently helping elementary children and most recently my experiences at GGC, I have seen how some extra help and guidance can make a difference in the student’s math education.  I am convinced that regular help can make a huge difference to the student’s future since they will have the knowledge and CONFIDENCE that THEY CAN do MATH.
  • My students consistently understand topics after I teach them and that look of understanding and nodding in comprehension is priceless!

Personal and caring…

  • Very personalized instruction, I will employ and design programs that work for EACH child. I use pictures, graphs, real-world situations, tools, worksheets to help teach. I try to make it relatable so the student can understand.
  • Whether it be reinforcing prior math topics, or teaching new, I am striving for the child to learn in their own way. I want the student to do the problem – I am NOT doing it for them.
  • I can create personalized teaching plans for technology subjects – such as programming.
  • Students will learn from me every time so they will have consistency and continuity of teaching style.
  • FUN! Stickers, coloring sheets at the end of each lesson. It is very important the student likes to come to TT!

Considerate and customer focused…

  • I will work with families with busy schedules.
  • I want happy customers so I place great importance on customer feedback (Contact).
  • I can be available for private sessions within a few hours notice.
  • I strive for an extremely comfortable, low pressure classroom environment.
