Kevin
BA University of California-Santa Barbara
8+ Years Tutoring

I am a 2018 graduate of University of California Santa Barbara, with a B.S. degree in Biological Sciences through the Honors Program. I consider education to be tremendously important not just during development, but also throughout life. I believe it's critical to establish the right attitude toward learning; a feat that once accomplished can improve a student's long-term output in school. Education is an integral part of my career choice: I aspire to become a physician, a career intertwined with knowledge and education. However, teaching and learning are present in every career, and every part of life for that matter.

Drew
Current Undergrad, Physics/Mathematics Occidental College
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a freshman studying Physics and Mathematics at Occidental College in Pasadena, California. I have been tutoring high school students in mathematics and science for the past 3 years. While my methods in teaching rely on a few fundamental principles, I realize that each student I come into contact with learns in very different ways. I believe I am a good fit for your student not because of my knowledge in specific subjects, but my ability to cater to each student's individual learning strengths - creating a work environment in which your student is not only comfortable, but one in which they thrive.

Ritesh
BA Cornell University
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.
