Our story

Lifelong friends and HKIS alumni, Thomas Masliah and Zach Berkenkotter, share a vision to redefine learning through meaningful peer connections.


What started as a simple idea between classmates has grown into a vibrant community of dedicated student tutors, each committed to lifting others towards greater educational heights. At Stryv, every tutoring session is more than just learning. It’s an opportunity to inspire and be inspired.

The magic of Stryv lies in these connections—watching a shy student’s confidence bloom, seeing a struggling learner's face light up with understanding, and observing tutors discover their passion for teaching. These moments are the heart of our mission: to empower, educate, and elevate.

As we grow, every tutor and every student contributes to our story, building a legacy of learning that is as heartfelt as it is innovative. This is Stryv—where education meets aspiration, and where every achievement is not just celebrated but shared.

Why tutor with us?

Mentorship for every student

We believe every child deserves a mentor—an "older brother" figure who has navigated the academic and personal challenges they face. Our tutors serve not only as tutors but as role models, offering guidance, support, and the wisdom of experience, making learning relatable and inspiring.

Hollistic growth

Our approach goes beyond academic excellence, focusing on personal and intellectual growth. We prepare students for future challenges, equipping them with critical thinking skills, resilience, and adaptability. At Stryv Academics, we foster an environment where students thrive academically and emerge as well-rounded individuals ready to make their mark on the world.

Community building

Stryv Academics is dedicated to nurturing a vibrant community where students and tutors can form bonds that transcend traditional learning environments. We strive to create a supportive network, facilitating interaction, engagement, and mutual assistance, ensuring every member feels connected and valued.
