About
For over 7 years, I have helped hopeful scholars and professionals maximize their scores on standardized tests (SAT, GRE, GMAT), while tutoring students in core subjects like math, world history, biology, etc.
I graduated with a double-major in Japanese & International Studies from Carolina (UNC Chapel Hill), and just recently earned an Au.D. (Doctor of Audiology) degree from University of California, San Diego. I have tutored clients in NYC, NC, San Diego, and abroad in Tokyo. While I am fairly new to Thumbtack, I have numerous Yelp reviews and personal references upon request!
From my experience in academic + Japanese instruction, I've concluded that teaching is definitely a two-way street. My favorite part of the job is learning from my clients as I help them achieve their goals! Aside from being a doctor, I have a lot of experience counseling and mentoring students to maximize their potential.

Anish was excellent at walking through some of the tougher GRE concepts with me, ensuring I was prepared for all of the different types of questions on the exam. I am much more comfortable and confident in tackling the material after working with him.

Anish has been my tutor for about two months now and he’s very patient with me. I am very veryyy bad at math and it’s hard to find people who don’t embarrass me but who actually help me and apply the right pressure. He is very understanding and has all the awesome qualities a good tutor should have!!!

Anish always arrived fully prepared for each lesson. He is super capable and has a way to make even mundane material somewhat interesting. I would recommend him to anyone that wants to increase their score, and fast. He is also an excellent writer, and really put these skills to work when brainstorming with me for my personal statement.
