About Us: Personalized Tutoring That Makes Learning Click
Our Approach
At Total Tutoring Services, we believe every student learns differently—and that’s exactly why cookie-cutter tutoring programs don’t work. One-size-fits-all plans often miss the mark, creating frustration and failing to align with what students are actually learning in school. That’s where we’re different.
We offer personalized, one-on-one tutoring that’s fully tailored to your child’s current curriculum, learning style, and academic goals. Our experienced tutors customize each session to address individual strengths and challenges, adjusting their approach as your child grows.
This individualized support creates a positive, collaborative environment that encourages students to develop essential skills like critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving—while gaining the confidence they need to thrive.

Meet Our Director – Kaitlin Gaj
When Kaitlin Gaj founded Total Tutoring Services in 2008, her mission was simple: help every student discover how they learn best and turn frustration into confidence.
As a former elementary school teacher in Anne Arundel County, Kaitlin witnessed firsthand how the right guidance can transform a student’s mindset—and their future. With a Master’s in Education from Drexel University and a Bachelor’s in Finance from Saint Vincent College, she combines deep academic knowledge with real-world teaching experience.
She’s also a homeschooling mom of three, giving her a unique perspective on meeting diverse learning needs with patience, flexibility, and creativity. She understands the "I just don’t get it" moments—and the joy of watching the lightbulb turn on.
Today, Kaitlin leads a passionate team of tutors who are committed to helping students reach their full potential. Under her leadership, Total Tutoring Services has become a trusted partner to families across Maryland and Washington, D.C., offering a nurturing and effective learning experience where students not only master their subjects—but build lasting confidence.
