Elliot Chang
President / Founder
As the President, this has been my dream to initiate this program. I’ve saved every test, notes, and worksheet since sixth grade in preparation for this role. My passion lies in making learning engaging and accessible, especially for students who are just beginning to shape their academic paths. I’ve had the privilege of earning 1st place across the region and state in Science Olympiad, in events like Disease Detectives and Wind Power. I have consistently been in the highest-level courses throughout middle and high school. I have maintained a 4.0 GPA overall and contributed to multiple service and advocacy organizations as well as years of experience in music and athletics. Most importantly, I genuinely love working with kids and sharing the knowledge and strategies that helped me succeed. I believe learning can be fun, empowering, and life-changing and I’m committed to helping every student I teach.

I am Treasurer of the Mental Health Awareness Club, or the MHA Club at Scarsdale High School. I have been a Girl Scout since I was seven years old, and have participated in and led several Mindfulness activities with younger Girl Scouts, ranging from Kindergarteners to 5th Graders. I have a younger brother who I babysit, and am also experienced in leading kids ages 6th grade- 9th grade. I am also a part of the Teen Advisory Board at the Scarsdale Public Library and contributed greatly to volunteer events and ideas.
