Experienced Tutor specializing in Core subjects

Daksh S.

I am currently an undergraduate student at the University of California, Davis, majoring in Human Development with a minor in Psychology. My coursework has provided a strong foundation in developmental, cognitive, and behavioral sciences, which I apply when helping students understand complex psychological and human development concepts. I have also completed rigorous lab courses involving research methods, data interpretation, and academic writing, allowing me to guide students in both scientific comprehension and study skills.

My tutoring and teaching experience has been a combination of formal and volunteer roles. I have provided one-on-one academic support to peers and younger students in subjects such as psychology, biology, and writing. My approach focuses on connecting material to real-world examples and encouraging active learning through discussion and practice. During my volunteer work with organizations like Clinica Tepati and the Valliant Foundation, I have also mentored students and community members, explaining health-related topics and assisting with academic readiness. These experiences allowed me to work with a wide range of learners, from high school students preparing for college to university undergraduates refining their study habits.

I have been tutoring consistently for the past two years and have found that combining empathy with evidence-based study strategies helps create a productive learning environment. Whether through in-person sessions or online meetings, I prioritize understanding each student’s individual learning style and adapting my instruction accordingly. My goal as a tutor is not only to improve students’ performance in specific subjects but also to strengthen their confidence and independent thinking skills.
