Gaurav
Certified Tutor
I am a law student, but I took an unusual route to get there. I used to attend medical school but had a change of heart in my career path. Part of this was due to my political science major (double major with biology) in college as well as a number of Spanish and other courses that I took. Tutoring is something, I feel, that has come naturally to me, even back to my high school days. My goal is to help you learn as much as you can and reach your true potential. I will work hard to make sure that this happens, as long as you put in the work, too! We will work together to tailor your learning experience to your needs.

What is your teaching philosophy?
I am here to help students learn what to do to succeed, not to guide their hands for them.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
We will go over what the student knows are his or her strengths and weaknesses, what their goals are, how we will achieve those goals, and what our timeline will be.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
I will encourage them to study on their own and prepare at least a few questions for me for each session so that they can take charge of their own success.
How would you help a student stay motivated?
Positive encouragement always helps keep students motivated.
If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?
I would reframe the concept in a different way and adapt the material to the student's specific needs.
How do you help students who are struggling with reading comprehension?
I would encourage practice and would also sit down to go over individual questions.
