A+ By Design, a tutoring company, has moved into a 2,567 square foot space in Okemos. A + By Design seeks to help K-12 students succeed at their schoolwork.
“The whole concept is providing supplement teaching or education to any level,” says the owner of A + By Design, Maher Abdmahmoud. Before Abdmahmoud opened his tutoring company, he surveyed area teachers who overwhelming indicated a need for his services.
“I had a big line of teachers coming forward with all subjects,” he says.
Abdmahmoud’s pool of tutors includes teachers who have varying certifications. He also has some graduate students and teacher’s aids. Parents decide which subjects their child needs assistance with, and Abdmahmoud develops a personalized curriculum for the student.
Abdmahmoud has about a dozen clients, but sees continued interest in his services.
“I’m in the process of building the business,” he says, adding that he will invest heavily in the new school year. He also wants to provide summer programs. “The plan is not to stop here. We’re looking at other options. Maybe East Lansing, Lansing or Haslett. The main operations will take place in Okemos.”
A + By Design opened in October.
