Vikas: Santa Monica tutor

Certified Tutor

Education has always been more than just a pursuit of knowledge for me, it has been a way to help me connect with others and help build confidence both for me and others in areas where uncertainty once existed. My journey began by helping peers with challenging coursework, eventually evolving into a passion for guiding students through subjects that can often feel overwhelming at first.

I'm going to pursue a degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Finance at Texas A&M University. Over the years, I've found my strengths lie in supporting students in a wide range of academic areas, especially math from kindergarten through precalculus, SAT prep, high school chemistry and biology, AP Environmental Science, English up to AP Language, and research-focused courses like AP Seminar and AP Research.

My tutoring style focuses on patience, clarity, and encouragement. I believe in breaking down complex concepts into more manageable pieces and adapting to each student's learning style. Whether it be navigating SAT strategies, tackling a tough math concept, or refining a research argument, I aim to create a learning space that feels both challenging and supportive.
