Beginning as a mere after-school tutoring program run out of her living room in Brooklyn, Ms. Hott’s venture soon gained momentum and in 2001 relocated to Midtown, Manhattan to accommodate its rapid growth. Eleven years later, TestQuest collaborates with an extensive network of schools; foster care agencies, institutions of higher learning, and other community-based organizations in an effort to increase academic opportunities for the inner city youth of New York City.  Today, TestQuest has evolved into a leading provider of supplemental educational services in the New York Tri-State area and is currently the largest one-on-one private home tutoring program in NYC.

For her hard work and dedication to this cause, Ms. Hott has earned numerous accolades and has been recognized amongst the 2006 ‘Women Who Make a Difference’ by the Minorities and Women in Business Organization. Though Ms. Hott has achieved great success, she remains committed to the original goals upon which her organization was established. Through TestQuest, she hopes to continue positively affecting the lives of children and families for years to come.

Since its conception, TestQuest has serviced over 20,000 families.
