TANK EdDucates LLC

TANK EdDucates LLC is passionately committed to empowering communities through culturally responsive teaching and transformative life skills education. Rooted in a student-centered philosophy, we celebrate the unique cultural strengths of individuals, fostering deeper engagement, enriched learning experiences, and measurable success. Our mission extends beyond classrooms, reaching students, educators, school districts, universities, government agencies, and community stakeholders. Through personalized teaching, training, and mentoring, we equip every learner and partner with the tools to thrive and create lasting impact. The organization was founded by Dr. Emmanuel Cherilien, an Education Specialist (Ed.D.) with over 25 years of experience in education and leadership. Dr. Cherilien, also known as "Dr. Tank," currently serves on the Board of Directors for Catholic Partnership Schools in Camden County, NJ. He is a certified coach and motivational speaker focused on dismantling the school-to-prison pipeline. He is also a professor, education consultant, and the director of the T.A.N.K Mentoring Program. This program mentors students and incarcerated and formerly incarcerated individuals with re-entry success. He brings extensive expertise in various subjects, including servant leadership, social-emotional learning, and student/employee engagement. Dr. Tank’s research on college access in underserved communities inspired the formation of TANK EdDucates LLC.
