Hello, my name is Shobhna and I am an incoming freshman at Michigan State University! I started tutoring elementary kids in my neighborhood by helping them understand the basics of Math and English. Further exposure to tutoring was through my high school's National Honors Society chapter (NHS). Our chapter's mission was to provide underprivileged members of society care packages with medical and hygiene supplies at homeless shelters and tutor students who had minimal access to academic help outside school. In NHS, I tutored kids in Math, English, Chemistry, and Spanish 1. Not only did I enjoy teaching these subjects, but I also completed these classes with High Honors. Since graduating high school, I'm further motivated to minimize the disparities in education among disadvantaged communities. To add, I want to be able to tutor individuals from various backgrounds to minimize the academic difficulties that students including myself face. As a student who struggled with seeking additional resources when I found lessons in school hard, becoming a tutor allows me to help other students by connecting with them and learning the best ways they learn. With that in mind, I can structure the best method to shape complex lessons into simpler explanations to make it easier for the student to understand and allow them to apply their knowledge to excel in class. Together we can learn in the best way possible!
