I am very happy with our experience so far with Varsity Tutors. They matched my daughter with reading specialist Mary and she is wonderful! My 10 year old daughter feels happy after her sessions and believes her tutor has already helped her.

Riya: Leeds tutor

Certified Tutor

I am passionate about helping students grow academically and personally. Education has the power to transform lives, and as someone who has always valued learning, I want to help students unlock their full potential.
With a strong background in tutoring Math, Physics, Astronomy, Astrophysics, Computer Science, Economics, Latin, and Standardized Test Preparation, I have extensive experience helping students succeed. I have had the privilege of teaching at the Russian School of Mathematics, where I worked with students on advanced calculus, and math competitions I've volunteered as a teacher for the Diksha Foundation in India, where I helped students in a variety of subjects, mainly including Math and English. This experience has given me the ability to tailor my teaching to each student's individual needs, whether they're preparing for exams or tackling challenging topics.

I am currently a Senior finishing my undergraduate degree in Astrophysics and minor in Mathematics at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. I am always eager to help students improve their skills and work through difficult problems with patience and clarity. My approach is not just to help students pass their tests, but to help them truly understand and enjoy the material.

Outside of academics, I am deeply interested in art, music, and space exploration. These interests inspire creativity and critical thinking, qualities I bring into my tutoring sessions. With a passion for learning and teaching, I am excited to help students achieve their academic goals.
