Kennon is amazing. I wish we had found him in August and not waited until March. My boys grades have improved, but more importantly their confidence in their ability to DO MATH has improved. [My son] got an A in math for the semester! I wish we had found you months and months sooner.  So much stress would have been avoided!

Our Story

Kennon McCaa is the energetic founder and lead tutor at Transformative Tutoring, LLC. Prior to opening Transformative Tutoring, Kennon was a highly effective Algebra 1 and Algebra 2 teacher for five years before becoming a software developer. His passion for teaching only intensified in his years away from the classroom, inspiring him to create the five star Algebra Explained series of iPhone/iPad apps in 2009. Soon thereafter and for several years, many neighbors and their friends started coming over for math tutoring in the evenings.

In 2017, when Kennon’s 12 year-old son, Carter, scored a 760/800 on the SAT math test, it became clear that it was time for Kennon to return to what he was born to do, teach math. After a bit of planning and a family move to Sarasota, Kennon retired from his software job and opened his tutoring center in Osprey in 2018. In 2019, to help Kennon test a few theories, Carter took the SAT for a second time and earned a perfect score (800/800) at just 14 years old. Although the tutoring center was a huge success, the COVID-19 pandemic made it necessary to move online in 2020. In 2021, Carter went 3 for 3, adding two more perfect 800’s on the SAT, and a perfect PSAT to become a National Merit Scholar. Carter is available for tutoring on a limited basis. You can read more about how Kennon continues to change lives on our Testimonials page or Google reviews.
