Award-Winning Pre-Calculus Tutors
serving Dallas, TX

I am a graduate of UC San Diego with a Bachelors in Neuroscience through the Psychology department. After graduating, I went to Michigan Technological University and did some graduate work, before moving to Texas to be closer to my parents. I did my alternative certification program through Texas Teachers and am highly qualified to teach Science for grades 7-12. I have been a teacher in public and charter schools for the last four years, and have tutoring experience extending over ten years behind me as well.

Cognitive science trained Snipta to think about mathematical structures the way the brain actually learns them — building layered connections rather than stacking isolated formulas.
