Founders

Christopher and Christian graduated from UPenn and worked at Google and Gatorade. Now with Amikka, they’ve built a team
of 100+ tutors focused on providing families with affordable access to personalized 1:1 tutoring and innovative AI technology.

Christopher

Christopher, a first-generation college student who couldn’t afford expensive tutoring, spent hundreds of hours deconstructing the SAT on his own. After improving his score by 400 points and earning admission to UPenn, Christopher created Amikka’s affordable SAT/ACT tutoring programs, which have now helped over 3,000 students. Christopher worked at Google for several years before leaving to focus on Amikka full-time. 

Christian

Christian grew up in a small town and became the first student from his high school to attend UPenn. After several years of helping students improve their SAT/ACT scores and craft their college essays, he built Amikka’s college admissions advising program, which has now helped our students earn over $25 million in total scholarships. Following his graduation from UPenn, Christian worked at Gatorade before transitioning full-time to Amikka.
