"Hello! My name is Divya N. and I am currently a graduate from Johns Hopkins University with a B.S. in Molecular and Cellular Biology and a B.A. in the History of Science, Medicine, and Technology. My positive, caring, and problem-based approach to learning seeks to encourage students to be patient with themselves as they work through problems, strengthening their concept understanding as they practice. I personalize my lesson plans, problem sets, and approach to teaching based on each student. My goal is to strengthen a student’s confidence in a subject they may be weak in, whether this be improving test and homework scores or fostering a love for that subject, hopefully both. Seeing a student rejoice after they master a particularly hard subject never fails to bring a smile to my face!

I have 4 years of tutoring experience in AP Calculus AB, Precalculus, and Algebra. I prepared various clients for their AP exams weekly by reviewing challenging concepts and working through test preparation materials. Having tutored advanced levels of calculus, I am confident in my ability to tutor math levels below this point, having mastered them myself and assisting other students in this field. Additionally, I extensively prepared for the ACT mathematics, science, and English sections, mastering test taking techniques. Having achieved a near perfect math and science score of 35, a perfect English score of 36, and a 99th percentile composite score of 35, I am confident in my ability to assist students on the ACT.

Having a degree in biology, I am deeply passionate about the physical sciences and hold a special love for the life sciences. In high school, I took honors biology and AP Biology, and answered the SAT Molecular Biology Subject Test, receiving a perfect score of 800. I have further mastered this knowledge through coursework and lab work at Johns Hopkins University, and will be pursuing my M.D. degree.

Thank you for stopping by my profile! Please feel free to contact me anytime." less...
