Founded in 2002 by Chris Ajemian, CATES offers support with education planning, academics, test prep, applications, and careers. An unwavering personal focus and individually-tailored methodology inform everything we do, whether it’s private tutoring and classes or online and institutional programs. Our goal is simple: to provide the tools and resources you need to transform your life.Since 2002, we have worked closely with families and schools in the US, UK, and Europe to design and support personalized education programs that maximize students’ potential by focusing holistically on the academic, psychological, emotional, and physical elements of learning. Working with CATES to achieve their goals gives students an opportunity to acquire new skills, develop new learning habits, and build a confidence in their own abilities that will carry them far beyond any class, test, or application, and into the next phase of their lives.
Chris Ajemian founded CATES while working as a theater director, and he has since sought to infuse the education space with the creative spirit of his former industry. An Armenian-American with roots across Europe, Chris grew up in Long Island before studying Pre-Med & Drama at Boston College. He recently completed the "Special Students in Education" Program at Harvard's Graduate School of Education, as well as an Entrepreneurship Specialization through the Wharton School. In 2018, Chris will be seen as a featured expert in "The Test & The Art of Thinking," a new documentary by Canobie Films.
