I graduated from Johns Hopkins University with a major in International Studies in May 2024, with a cumulative GPA of 3.94. From 2024-2025, I was a Fulbright English Teaching Assistant in Bulgaria. This fall, I completed the LSAT, and I am in the process of applying to law schools. During college, I was an academic tutor for four years, working online one-on-one with middle school and high school students on core subjects including English Language Arts. I specialize in tutoring for reading comprehension, writing, and test preparation. I took fourteen AP classes in high school and scored 5s on the vast majority, including AP US History, AP Literature, and AP Micro and Macro. I scored a 34 on the ACT in 2019, and I scored a 172 on the LSAT this September. I am willing and happy to work with you to meet your goals --- whether you need help with SAT/ACT English and Reading, AP tests, workshopping your overall writing skills, or studying for the LSAT, I will personalize every lesson to your needs.

I am a patient and results-oriented tutor with a strong academic foundation and a passion for helping students build confidence in their learning. With a background in analytical problem-solving and structured thinking, I focus on breaking down complex concepts into clear, intuitive steps that match each student's learning style. Having worked with learners at different levels, I emphasize not just getting the right answer, but understanding the why behind it. My approach is supportive, adaptable, and goal-drivenI aim to help students improve performance while developing long-term study and critical-thinking skills. I enjoy tutoring because it allows me to make learning feel approachable and empowering, and I am committed to creating a positive, engaging environment where students can succeed.

I am a graduate of Grinnell College, a private liberal arts college located in Grinnell, Iowa. I have a Bachelor of the Arts in Computer Science from Grinnell's Department of Math and Computer Science. Since graduation I have tutored students of a wide variety of ages and background in a number of subjects. I have tutored middle school students in the Chicago area in Math and science and high school students in advanced Math, chemistry, writing, and helped them prepare for standardized tests for college admittance. I have also tutored adults preparing for academic proficiency tests for their jobs and with GRE prep for those interested in going to graduate school. Additionally I have taught English grammar, reading, and conversational skills to ESL students in Chicago, Ecuador, and Colombia. While I tutor a number of subjects, I particularly enjoy helping students with standardized test strategy and following their scores as they increase towards their goal. When I tutor, I aim to lead students to an answer by example so that they can see the reasoning involved themselves, rather than me just telling them the answer. The more the students can come to their own solutions, the more memorable the lessons will be. In my spare time I enjoy reading, playing skill games like scrabble, bridge, and poker, and outdoor activities like biking, camping, and canoeing when the weather is nice.

I'm Shravan, an MS4 at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. I know firsthand how overwhelming the MCAT and med school admissions process can feelbut I also know how to simplify it and make it work for you. I scored in the 99th percentile on the MCAT and received over 20 interviews and 11 offers during my admissions cycle. My success wasn't about grinding endless hoursit was about efficient studying, strategic planning, and targeted improvements. Too many students waste time on passive review, random resources, and ineffective test-taking strategies. My goal is to help you cut through the noise and focus on what actually moves the needle.

I have studied engineering at UIUC and Oakton college, and am currently working on both my Bachelors and Masters degrees at Depaul University for Secondary Math Education. I have been tutoring for about 4 years as volunteering for a local elementary/middle school. Academics have played a major role in my life, as I was a student who personally struggled and took many steps to overcome the challenges presented during my early education. As somebody who has had to work to find new intuitive ways to learn, I highly value the qualities of patience and out-of-the-box thinking to help my students succeed! I have tutored all fundamental subjects for students in K-12. However, as a student currently pursuing a degree in Secondary Education Math, my affinity for tutoring especially lends itself towards STEM subjects. I believe that a vital component to learning is being able to appreciate and enjoy the presented content. I always hope to achieve this by contextualizing topics learned in the classroom, with the goal of helping students grasp the importance and real-world applications of each subject.

I have years of experience teaching writing and literary analysis in the classroom setting, and years of teaching students one on one.

My passion for tutoring stems from my experience as a TA, where I discovered that effective teaching goes beyond just delivering content; it's about building relationships and instilling confidence in students. With over two years of tutoring experience in math and computer science, I focus on fostering an interactive learning environment where students actively engage with the material. I believe in the power of practice over passive learning, guiding students to identify their challenges and develop effective study habits. As a National Merit Scholar, I've honed my own test-taking strategies, which I enjoy sharing for SAT prep as well. I'm excited to support you on your academic journey!

As a dedicated college student pursuing a degree in Computer Science and Economics at The University of Chicago, I have a strong passion for mathematics, particularly in algebra and SAT preparation. With over two years of tutoring experience, I focus on high school and middle school students, helping them identify their strengths and weaknesses to tailor our sessions effectively. I utilize official College Board materials, ensuring my students engage with real SAT problems. My own experience on the SAT fuels my commitment to guiding others through the college admissions process. I believe in fostering a supportive learning environment where students feel encouraged to ask questions and explore concepts deeply. I am excited to help students achieve their academic goals and navigate their educational journeys.

I love teaching and know how to make teaching fun as well as effective.

I also have experience teaching learners who need extra support. I have been certified to teach in New Jersey, Ohio and Illinois. In Illinois I have been certified as an early education teacher as well as a teacher for grades up to grade 9. In conjunction with my library degree from the University of Chicago I wrote a thesis analyzing children's literature.
