USC Tutor & HS Valedictorian Specializing in Test Prep (APs)

Kshitij P.

I am a rising sophomore at USC studying Human Biology with a 3.9 GPA, and I have 200+ hours of tutoring experience from this past year alone across middle school, high school, AP, and college-level subjects.

I currently tutor 5th–8th grade students in English and math through Step Up Tutoring, and I was selected for the organization’s Education Impact Partner team after helping students improve their ELA testing scores. For younger students, I focus on the exact concepts they missed so they can catch up for the next grade level or get ahead with more confidence.

I also tutor higher-level subjects, including college chemistry, college calculus, AP Chemistry, AP Biology, and AP Calculus. In high school, I led a tutoring club that supported 30+ students in advanced science and math courses. My AP students passed with an average score of 4.5, and I personally took 16 AP classes, earning 5s in AP Chemistry, AP Calculus, AP Biology, and AP English Language.

For older students, I adjust to their goal and timeline, whether they need last-minute exam preparation or help making difficult concepts finally make sense.
