Making a Transformative Difference.
Why did I leave teaching after 27 years to start a tutoring agency? Because I know that many families would hire a teacher before they hire someone who has never worked in a classroom.
Teachers not only understand the subject material…
they also understand your child’s learning style.

Founder & Owner of SuperTutors
Company History
Josh Lappin’s experience in education began in the fall of 1996. He had recently graduated from Hobart College with a BA in English and a minor in education. For 27 years, he served in various roles including teacher, administrator, coach, advisor, summer program director, and even school bus driver. Josh worked with students in grades 5 through 12, and he taught in coed, all-boys, and all-girls classrooms. He has a master’s degree in education administration from Boston College. In 2016, Josh stepped away from his summer camp program job and started a new career as the founder and owner of a seasonal tutoring placement company, Summer Blazers Tutoring.
After three successful summers, the company also began placing tutors in the fall, winter, and spring. Summer Blazers Tutoring became Josh’s year-round “side hustle.”
Did Josh know back in 2016 that he would someday leave teaching and make tutoring entrepreneurship his full-time career? No, but in time he realized the potential of switching careers. The world did not have a tutoring company that specialized in providing the expertise of teachers.
In 2023, Josh retired from teaching. It was time for Summer Blazers Tutoring to become his full-time job.
In January of 2024, the company was renamed SuperTutors.
