Meet the Founder
Bio
My name is Stanley and I’m the founder of On the Bayou Tutoring Inc. As a passionate educator, father, and lifelong learner, I started this company to serve students who deserve more than just instruction. All students deserve advocacy, cultural connection, and confidence in their abilities.
After more than 15 years in management and human resources, I transitioned into education with a clear purpose: to empower students, especially those with learning differences, to succeed academically and beyond. Inspired by strong family roots and the legacy of Black educators before me, I’ve dedicated my life to helping students see their potential—even when others can’t.
Education
Bachelor's Degree in Business
Aug 2003- Dec 2007
My business degree laid the foundation for strategic thinking, planning, and organization skills I now use to build effective tutoring plans and run a high-quality educational service that puts students first.
Master of Human Resource Management
Jan 2019 - June 2021
My graduate studies in HR taught me how to connect with people, support individual growth, and lead with empathy; all qualities that now drive my approach to tutoring and mentoring students one-on-one.
