Kallie Wolfer, Director
Born and raised in Salt Lake City, Kallie went to school at the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, Washington, where she majored in biology and minored in Spanish. After graduation, she was accepted into the Teach for America program and taught high school science in Houston, Texas for three years before moving back to Utah, where she taught middle school science for four years at Granite Park Jr. High in South Salt Lake and high school math and science at Roosevelt Continuation School for several more years. After tutoring with Faris for over ten years, she is now serving as Director. She loves that tutoring gives kids a safe place to not only make mistakes, but also to figure out how to learn from them. Outside of tutoring she enjoys chasing after her rambunctious toddler, hiking, riding her bike, running, and reading.

Faris Education was named after Nancy's grandmother, Alice. She was the only other teacher in Nancy's extended family, and Faris was her maiden name. The photo at the right is a desk from her classroom in the 1940's.
Faris Education was created by Nancy Robinson. A native of Los Angeles, Nancy completed both her undergraduate and graduate degrees at Stanford University, with the emphasis of her master’s degree in Education in Curriculum and Teacher Education. In 1992, Nancy moved to Utah and taught middle school and high school mathematics for 13 years at Rowland Hall, an independent school in Salt Lake City. She received the Teacher of the Year Award at Rowland Hall in 1996. Also that year, she participated in the Fulbright Memorial Fund program, as one of two teachers in Utah selected to travel to Japan to learn about the Japanese educational system. In 2002, she received a research fellowship from the University of St. Andrews in Scotland, to further develop curricula, including a financial literacy course she created at Rowland Hall in 1999. Nancy has tutored many students over the years in mathematics and standardized test preparation. As demand has increased, she has gradually brought other tutors into the company, whom she helps guide and mentor, to work with students in all subjects. Nancy spends most of her free time in the outdoors and traveling.
For over 20 years, Faris Education has provided tutors for elementary, middle school, high school, and college students in the Salt Lake Valley and Park City in a variety of subjects. We do not have a one-size-fits-all approach. Rather, our goal is to provide a tutor who meets the individual needs of the student. We have helped students with their classes in traditional classroom settings, online classes, as well as standardized test preparation and college advising. We believe that confidence breeds success, and our tutors aim to provide a positive mentoring relationship that goes beyond the academic experience. Please contact us to discuss your needs and to determine if we can provide a good fit.
