Hello! My name is Kelly Mulligan.

I have dedicated 12+ years to working with more than 200 students in K-12 core academic subjects, particularly math and English.

Additionally, I work with students in building their confidence and preparing them for upcoming tests and projects through organizational strategy and prioritization. I have a background in education, business, and communication studies.

I have worked globally as an ESL teacher in South Korea, a Business Communications lecturer at the University of Economics and Finance in Vietnam, and a high school English teacher in Raleigh, NC.

Currently, I own and operate Mulligan Tutoring Services, where I continue to work as a full-time tutor, catering individualized lessons to all of my students.

Hobbies: I love to travel and try food from all over the world, I like to write short stories, and I love to try some of the more extreme sports such as skydiving, bungee jumping, and scuba diving.

Fun Fact: I was an acrobat!

Alexa Jaffe

K-12 Spanish
HW Help | Organization

¡Hola y Bienvenidos! My name is Alexa Jaffe.

I am a Spanish Language & Literature major at NC State University. I am passionate about teaching the language to students K-12+.

What started out as just a requirement to graduate high school eventually turned into an integral part of my future career! I love teaching at all levels - from beginners to those just needing some extra practice outside of school.

The majority of my background stems from assistance with Spanish Immersion elementary school curriculum, Spanish 1 and 2 (high school), and the building blocks of conversational skills.

In my free time (“tiempo libre” as my students hear me say), I love hanging out with my cat, Milo, traveling, and going to the beach!

Hello! My name is Michele Perry.

I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Math/Stats at the University of South Alabama. I am currently working on my Master’s in applied math at NC State University. Most recently, I was a Calculus TA where I led weekly problem sessions for 90 undergrad students, as well as worked with students one-on-one. Before calculus, I was a subject tutor in numerous math classes including algebra, pre-calculus, and statistics. In addition to these core math classes, I also love working with students to improve their reading/writing skills. I’m passionate about helping students grow their confidence and achieve their goals.

Hobbies: In my free time, I enjoy traveling, reading, playing music, walking in nature, and hanging out with my orange cat Honey.

Fun Fact: Sometimes I even take Honey on walks. He enjoys nature too!

Hello! My name is Kasey Colcombe.

I have been tutoring students since 2013 in math courses ranging from pre-algebra through masters courses in statistics. I enjoy contributing to student success by focusing on understanding the fundamentals. I have worked as a tutor throughout college in structured weekly meetings, drop in tutoring, and as a teaching assistant. Needless to say, I love math! I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Mathematics from Kent State University in 2018 and have worked as an Actuary since then where I continue to take math intensive exams. So I can certainly understand where my students are coming from!

Hobbies: Since moving to Raleigh, I’ve made it my goal to try as many new restaurants as possible so please send suggestions! I’ve played hockey since I was 5 years old, played in college, and still play for fun twice a week. I enjoy hiking, traveling, and rock climbing as well.

Fun Fact: I trained with Vince Trocheck back in Pittsburgh before he went pro!

K-12 Math, Calculus, Chemistry
HW Help | Organization

Hello! My name is Anthony Davy.

Tutoring was the first job I ever had, and it has shaped the way I think from age 16 onward. I worked in tutoring centers at Central Carolina Community College and NC State before branching out into independent one-on-one tutoring. I primarily teach math, but have background in engineering and chemistry as well. While math is my passion, I can also assist with general organizational strategies and study skills. I have worked with middle schoolers, high schoolers, and college students of all ages, and I’m happy to provide a customized approach that prioritizes foundational understanding in order to set students up for long term success.

Hobbies: I end every day with some kind of art – doodling, painting, macrame, jewelry making, soda tab chainmail, or whatever sounds fun!

Fun Fact: I make my own pigments and paint as a garage chemistry project.
