"Hi, I’m Rashi! I graduated from Caltech with a Bachelor’s degree in Bioengineering and am now pursuing my PhD at MIT in the same field. My academic training has given me a deep foundation in math, science, and data analysis, but I also bring a strong passion for writing and communication. Through years of academic research and involvement with groups like the MIT Grad Blog, I’ve honed my ability to write clearly and effectively, and I enjoy helping students strengthen both their technical problem-solving and their expressive writing skills.

Over the years, I’ve taught and mentored high school, college, and graduate students across a wide range of subjects—from algebra and biology to statistics, coding, and academic writing. As a teaching assistant at both MIT and Caltech, I led discussions, guided students through hands-on problem-solving, and supported them in developing their communication skills. In one-on-one settings, I focus on meeting students where they are, adapting lessons to their pace and learning style, and encouraging them to reach answers through guided reasoning. Whether it’s clarifying a tough math concept or polishing an essay, I strive to build both confidence and mastery.

Parents and students can expect me to be friendly, patient, and encouraging. I break down complex topics into manageable steps and use real-world examples to make learning feel relevant and approachable. Whether your student needs help catching up, wants to build stronger skills, or is ready to explore new topics, my goal is to create a positive and supportive environment that fosters growth in both understanding and confidence." less...
