Introduction: I have more than a decade of tutoring experience working with students of all ages and backgrounds; however, the majority of my students have been in high school. I've helped students prepare for the following standardized tests: PSAT and SAT (classic version, 2005 redesign, and 2016 redesign), ACT, SAT subject tests (math, physics, history, writing), and AP exams (calculus, physics, statistics, history, English). I've also provided ongoing academic assistance at all levels of math, science, history, and English. Finally, I've guided families through the college-admissions process, helping students with applications and essays. Over the past few years, my students have gone on to Berkeley, UCSD, Carnegie-Mellon, and Stanford. I enjoy teaching a great deal. I find it immensely satisfying to see my students understand new concepts and gain confidence with challenging material. Working with somebody one-on-one, I can really customize my approach to suit the needs of that specific individual. Moreover, I sometimes become an advisor or even a mentor to my students after working with them for a long time, which I find to be very rewarding.

Amarnath is an outstanding tutor who can assist with a variety of topics and purposes. I utilized him for SAT prep, and saw my scores improve over PSAT and practice tests. Amarnath also assisted with my college essays during my senior year of high school, and was awesome. His quality of work is great, and I highly recommend him as a tutor.

Amarnath worked with our son throughout his high school years. He enhanced what our son was taught in the classroom when the teacher was not of great quality and he helped with advanced math and science classes that required some extra explanation/problem solving. He also worked with our son on standardized test prep and on his college essays. He is was an outstanding tutor and mentor for our son and i highly would highly, highly recommend him. He would be a good choice for a student at any level.

Amarnath was instrumental in helping with math. He met our daughter on her level and related very well. He knows the curriculum and led her to learning and understanding.

FAQs

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    With private tutoring, the fit between the teacher and the student (and the teacher and the family) is as important as actually conveying the material. Therefore, I typically set up a free trial meeting to determine whether everyone wants to continue. We usually discuss short-term and long-term goals at this meeting and make a plan for how to proceed.
