Andrew Magliozzi, Founder, President

Andrew is the founder, managing partner, and longest tenured tutor on the Veritas Tutors staff.  Having engaged in peer tutoring since middle school and paid tutoring since the age of 14, he has logged more than three thousand hours cultivating young minds at preparatory school and juvenile prison alike in subjects ranging from Latin to Calculus.  Since the outset of his pedagogic career, Andrew has made a continual effort to reach out to those who cannot otherwise afford to reach him.  In addition to the pro-bono work he is privileged to carryout alongside a number of other weekly Veritas Volunteers, he also founded a non-profit open education website for students (currently at Harvard) to collaborate, learn, and share their knowledge freely with the world.  Furthermore, Andrew is a frequent contributor to the shared articles and resources you can find on this website.

Jay Bacrania, Co-Founder, CEO

Jay is Co-Founder and lead SAT instructor at Veritas Tutors.  He brings a wealth of operational experience from his previous managerial position at Digi-Block, Inc, and tutoring experience from the four non-profit tutoring programs he has directed and/or founded in the past 10 years.  Jay has closely overseen the rapid growth of Veritas Tutors in the past 4 years, and is passionate about supplementing the one-size-fits-all style of American education with individualized, transformative tutoring.  In addition to managing Veritas' operations, strategy, and finance, Jay works closely with educational researchers to continually refine and improve Veritas Tutors' pedagogical methods.  In August 2009, Jay also led Veritas Tutors' acquisition of RedKey Education.  Jay is a graduate of Harvard College.

Kyle Thomas, Director of Curriculum Development

Kyle recently moved to Cambridge from California to pursue his PhD in Cognitive Science at Harvard University. He uses evolutionary theory to gain insight into the cognitive processes that guide social behavior. He attended UC Santa Cruz as an undergrad, where he began teaching through their peer tutoring program, for which he eventually became an administrator. At Veritas, Kyle's area of expertise is the development of curricula in Chemistry, Calculus, Organic Chemistry, Physics, GRE, and more. With an inspiring fascination for learning, Kyle has never failed to inspire curiosity in any student. Outside of the ivory tower he enjoys surfing, rock climbing, cooking, and chess.

Shannon Dohar, Director of Operations

Shannon has had a passion for education since her days as a tutor in the Writing Center at the University of Maine. After finishing her Bachelors in Literary Analysis, she went on to Simmons College where she recently completed a Masters in English. Shannon believes that writing is imperative to education, and hopes to continue bringing those themes together in her work. At Veritas, Shannon is the primary point of contact for all customers. She, quite simply, is the glue that binds this company. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns in mind, Shannon knows how to help.
