"Hello, my name is Vani! As a tutor, I have had many years of experience in teaching math in both one-on-one and group lessons. I have helped students prepare for large, content-heavy examinations like the PSAT, SAT (many of my students scored perfectly on the SAT Math section), ACT, SHSAT, SSAT, Regents Exams, GED, CHSPE, EOCTs, Georgia Milestones, and more. In particular, I’ve recently helped my students score extremely well on the SHSAT exam and gain admission into competitive, specialized NYC high schools like Stuyvesant, Bronx Science High School, and more.

I focus on identifying my students’ strengths and weaknesses, so I can adjust my classes in a way that will be personalized and tailored to them. I also believe that in order to fully master a topic students need to be fully immersed (doing multiple practice questions so that they understand the entire scope of questions that can be asked on a particular topic), and I do my best to provide that.

My approach for helping students improve in mathematics is to first explain the math concepts, and then show a few math problems, step-by-step, from their school or test prep books. I will also show them multiple ways to solve the problems to help them understand the overall concept. Then, I will have students do extra problems on their own to ensure they can apply what they have learned. Throughout the tutoring session, I will continuously go over the problems that they are having a hard time with. I truly feel that these math skills will enable my students to tackle any problem that is thrown their way!

Personally, Math has always been my favorite subject and I’ve had a strong grasp of math concepts throughout my education. Additionally, I’m an engineering graduate who completed her training in Computer Science and worked as a Software Developer.

I am easy to contact, flexible with scheduling, and diligent with responding to messages in a timely manner. Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have or to schedule a lesson!" less...
