About Us
Northside Tutoring & Robert Feagin
The story behind Atlanta's boutique tutoring standard — and the educator who built it.
The Founder
Meet Robert Feagin.
Westminster · Stanford · Oxford. The seed of a boutique.
Robert's educational journey began at The Westminster Schools in Atlanta, where he excelled both in academics and leadership. From winning the Yale Book Award to becoming a National Merit Finalist, Robert was a standout student. He graduated third in his class and scored in the 98th percentile on the SAT.
After high school, Robert attended Stanford and Oxford, earning a degree in history. During his time at Oxford, he discovered the transformative power of one-on-one tutoring — the seed of what would become Northside Tutoring.
He worked extensively with students from different backgrounds, including tutoring a young student in East Palo Alto in English as a Second Language, and participated in after-school mentoring programs.
