About Me

I am a graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Chemistry with a concentration in Biochemistry. I also have minors in Italian and Mathematical Studies. For a year and half, I worked as a peer tutor at my university. As part of a university club, I volunteered at local low-income pre-schools. I planned lessons that my club members and I used to teach pre-school classes. The topics included historical events and science. Working with preschoolers was interesting as you could see the curiosity in their eyes. These lessons gave them a spark, and the importance of this spark is evident in students of all ages. I believe if someone ever lost it, they can get it back when they find confidence in the material they're studying. I tutor a variety of subjects, including essay writing, grammar, and Italian; however, my favorite is Algebra. Many students come in hating numbers, and it's always a thrill to see that attitude change. My interactive tutoring style encourages not only learning comprehension, but also confidence in the material and the student's skills. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, writing, and making art.

Q&A with Karthika

My teaching philosophy focuses on the student. Each session should be tailored to the way a specific student learns. I want to make sure they not only understand the material, but that they have confidence in their abilities to use it on their own later.
