Utkarsha
BA University

Hi! I'm Utkarsha, and I genuinely enjoy helping students of all levels and learning styles better know subjects they would like help with. Whether you want to know math, English, Tableau, data science, or economics better, or are prepping for the SAT, I'm here to make it understandable and even enjoyable until you're confident! As a math major & an econ minor with a near-perfect SAT score (Math 800, English 780), I'm excited to share my know-how and deep understanding in these subjects. Throughout my years of experience in tutoring, I've successfully coached over 100 students to improve their math class grades (in all levels from elementary school math to college) and reach near-perfect SAT scores via my unique personalized guidance on core content and test-taking strategies. That's because my tutoring approach is focused on bridging the gap between where you're at and where you want to reach in terms of what you know. Let's work together to reach (or even exceed) your goals!

Brice
Current Undergrad, Computer Science Massachusetts Institute of Technology
10+ Years Tutoring

I am an undergraduate student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and I have tutored students since my early high school years. I've had experience instructing and guiding a variety of students, from young middle schoolers taking their first steps into the world of computer programming to my own peers struggling with their calculus exams. Over the past year alone, I've worked with over 30 students, spending several hours each day to help them stay up to speed on their schoolwork. I specialize in many areas of math as well as computer science, biology and physics. When tutoring students, I draw on my own experience with learning the material to identify and address the obstacles they face. I believe that promoting a deeper level of understanding of the subject, as opposed to merely teaching to the test or problem set, will enable students to excel in the long-term.

5+ Years Tutoring

I am currently a rising junior at Cornell University studying physics. I have worked with students of the elementary, middle, and high school levels in subjects such as math, physics, and even music production! I mainly focus on tutoring math and physics because I believe having a deep understanding of these subjects allows one to think more analytically of the world around us. I also believe in getting to know how a student learns best, as everyone learns differently, and tailoring lessons with that learning method in mind.

June
BA Brown University
1+ Years Tutoring

I'm an electrical engineering major at Brown University with interests in neuroscience, linguistics, and robotics, among other things. I've always loved learning, and my curiosity has led me through numerous subject areas. I constantly seek to apply my classroom learning in practical situations. For example, I have conducted research on dementia using electrophysiology in a mollusk model. I participate in hackathons and robotics challenges that test not only my programming ability but also my hardware skills as a tinkerer. My engineering pursuits require a strong foundation in mathematics, my interest in the life sciences calls for a myriad of memorization techniques, and my participation in the academic world at large reminds me daily of the importance of sharp writing skills. I hope to share some of these things, both content and technique, with my students. Though I will make sure that they can come away from each session armed with the skills needed to take on the modern education system, I also hope that they will take with them some appreciation for learning itself.
