Fabiano Praca
President & CEO
As the founder of On Point Tutoring, I started OPT with a straightforward belief: if you truly understand something, it should feel simple. I noticed students often got overwhelmed by overcomplicated explanations and wanted to change that. At OPT, we break down even the most complex academic and test prep concepts into clear, manageable steps. That mindset drives everything we do—from our SAT/ACT strategies to our subject-based tutoring. What makes OPT special to me isn’t just the methods—it’s the people. I’m proud of the team we’ve built: thoughtful, passionate, and deeply committed to our students and families.
When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me at a park with my daughter, wife, and dog or watching the Miami Heat.

Richard Vazquez
Vice President & COO
As COO, I focus on making sure our systems and services are always working efficiently—for our students, families, and team. At OPT, we’re not just running a business; we’re building a community of learners and educators who care deeply about doing things right. What I love most is the way we stay agile—constantly improving, refining, and finding new ways to support student success. Everyone here genuinely wants to help, and that shows in the energy we bring to every conversation.
Fun fact, I’ve been playing guitar for over ten years and love diving into new songs and techniques—it’s a creative outlet that keeps me inspired and always learning.
Genieva Smith
Vice President of Operations
Program Director
In my role, I oversee daily operations and help shape the programs that drive student success. My goal is to make sure our team has everything they need to focus on what matters: helping students thrive. What I love most about OPT is the culture—we’re truly a team that supports each other and celebrates every student win, big or small.
Outside of work, you can find me hiking Colorado trails—Chautauqua Trailhead is my happy place and where I go to reset.
Adrianna Hernandez
Office Administrator
Internal Relations Director
Hi! I’m Adrianna, and I keep the wheels turning behind the scenes at OPT. I coordinate communication, plan events, and manage billing—basically, I make sure everything runs smoothly so our team can stay focused on students. What I love most about OPT is how we’re always evolving. There’s a real commitment to innovation here, and we never settle for “good enough” when it comes to helping students succeed.
In my free time, I love thrifting and making junk journals. There’s something really satisfying about giving new life to forgotten things—it’s my own little form of creativity.
Adrian Gonzalez
Program Advisor
As Director of Client Development, I’m here to make your OPT experience seamless from the start. Whether you’re signing up for your first session or figuring out the best support for your student, I’m your go-to guy. What I appreciate most about OPT is its refusal to stay static, we’re always pushing to improve and meet families where they are. That constant forward momentum is what makes this place special.
Outside of OPT, you can find me contributing to hearing loss at your local bar playing drums or at your local car show revving my engine.

Anabella Azcuy
Content Specialist
As Content Specialist, I create and organize the academic and test prep materials. From building SAT/ACT resources to systemizing lessons and study guides, my goal is to make sure both students and tutors have the tools they need to succeed. As a veteran tutor, I also love supporting our team, whether that’s helping troubleshoot a lesson or sharing teaching strategies that make sessions more effective. What I love most about OPT is our shared commitment to making learning approachable, thoughtful, and genuinely student-centered.
Outside of work, you’ll usually find me tending to my garden or sharing the joy of gardening with others and helping people bring a little more green into their lives.
Account Representatives
It's our job and our pleasure to introduce new families to OPT's programs and help take care of their needs once they've started. We provide information on all things OPT, check in to make sure programs are running smoothly, and connect clients to the Program Advisor if concerns arise. Our goal is not just to be mediators between OPT and it's families, but to be their advocates.
Emely Torres
In my free time, if I’m not dancing, there’s a good chance I’m either traveling or somewhere by the beach!
Jamie Perez
Outside of work, you'll find me outdoors enjoying a nice sunset, kayaking, or other lizard activities - probably with a camera in my hand.
Sofia Passante
Fun fact, singing has been a passion of mine since I was young. I am always listening to music and learning new songs.
Front Desk Team
We are the first friendly faces to greet you when you walk in to OPT's office. Our job is to help students check-in for their sessions and make all our visitors feel welcomed from the moment they arrive until they leave. When not assisting students and parents, we help take care of the office to ensure every study room is ready for the next session.
Nicole Pereira
If I'm not at OPT, I'm usually reading novels, scrapbooking my favorite memories, or watching some musical classics!
Alejandro Camaliche
Outside of work, you’ll usually find me pursuing one of my three passions: fitness, music, and preparing for a future career in law.
Maria Martin
In my free time, you’ll usually find me spending time with my dog, watching movies with my parents, and enjoying some relaxing time alone.
Monthly Tutor Spotlight

I am an undergraduate research assistant in the Prakash Biophysics lab at the University of Miami. I love being able to use physics to explain unknown phenomena, which we do using Trichoplax adhaerans - a type of small marine placozoan. Gaining lab experience has taught me a lot about what research is beyond the classroom and I hope to carry this knowledge with me as I continue to pursue academia past graduation. I hope to one day use biophysics to help other types of marine life such as corals!
