About
Hey there!
I'm Meena! If you need help with geometry, algebra, or trigonometry, you've come to the right person! I love helping students who simply need new, understandable ways of teaching tough concepts. During this process, I really love seeing how students become more confident and surprised at their own abilities. It's rewarding for both me and (obviously) the student!
As a computer engineer, I've found through my studies and interactions with other students in my field that there are multiple ways to grasp concepts, and people often beat themselves up for not understanding things when it is taught only a certain way. I simply love not only the power of learning, but also learning the way that really works for you. Many things are taught through techniques that confuse and discourage students from learning more and just decrease confidence levels. It's important to teach students a method that suits them because people absorb information in differently, and as a tutor, it's truly a pleasure to find the one that fits you. Anyone can do it!!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I first have a conversation with my student about what subjects they enjoy and what they're struggling with. With the subjects they're struggling with, I ask them how they'd like to improve and how we can begin planning a comfortable and well-suited itinerary for how to proceed with our tutoring sessions.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I recently received my bachelor's degree at UCSD in Computer Engineering, and I've had over 8 years of experience privately tutoring students, mostly high school, in several math subjects. I also worked as an assistant instructor at a learning center where I taught dozens of K-12 students math and reading. I got a 760/800 on the SAT II Math Subject Test and got a 5/5 on the AP Calculus AB Test.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with all students from K-12. However, a majority of students are from high school.
