Do you want a patient and dependable tutor committed to your growth?

I bring a unique mix of strengths: writer, tutor, and personal assistant - a deadly combination of skills that can be at your disposal.

One of my proudest successes came as an undergraduate at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where I coached a fellow student with ADHD and autism. I dutifully and responsibly maintained his tasks, and on the personal side, I reassured and inspired him to succeed. With a skillful mixture of soft and hard skills, I broke down barriers to his success, and enabled him to flourish.

He graduated with the prestigious Computer Science degree from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His parents - who are distinguished professors and leaders in their fields - awarded me a final bonus and wrote the following note:

“[Our son] has finished all requirements for his Bachelor’s of Science degree in Computer Science and is now a graduate! Your dedication, skills, insight, and patience over these past three years were a big factor in [our son’s] success. We all are extremely appreciative of all your efforts and wish you the very best in your future endeavors.

We hope we can keep in touch and do not hesitate to reach out if you need a letter of recommendation.”

Over the years, I’ve enabled countless students to get ahead as an executive function coach. With screen-sharing on, I break down their school portal for clarity and accountability, invite them to master time-blocking on Google Calendar, and encourage them to complete homework together with me.

Each semester, I limited myself to a small group of students, so I can devote the proper attention each one deserves, while keeping parents consistently updated. I would be honored to support your journey - just send me a message.

ADHD

ADHD

I was selected as a Residential Advisor with a full room-and-board stipend at UIUC's Beckwith Residential Community for students with significant support needs. I was immersed 18+ hours a week as a peer-leader amongst students whose conditions presented severe academic challenges. I facilitated activities of daily living, provided emotional care, and continually broke down barriers to their academic success, enabling them to reach their full potential in a rigorous academic environment.
Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I graduated high school with a 3.9 GPA, I was selected for Gifted & Critical Thinking, and I beat 99% of my peers in the national standardized test taken by every high school student in the state of Illinois. However, I believe that my soft skills and dedication are the key to providing you value as a tutor. I have an engaging and patient teaching style that I use to nurture each student individually to an understanding of the material. I have successfully worked with students from ages 5 to college-level over the past 5 years.
College Counseling

Over the past five years, I've worked closely with dozens of students to help them discover meaningful essay themes that present their best selves. Then, I've helped them arrange and structure their narrative to create the most polished presentation of themselves. My expertise is in Common App essays, UC applications, and med school essays, with my students gaining admissions to Berkeley, Columbia, UIUC, and more.

I graduated high school with a 3.9 GPA, I was selected for Gifted & Critical Thinking, and I beat 99% of my peers in the national standardized test taken by every high school student in the state of Illinois. I have also undergone AP English, AP Literature, and AP Rhetoric. I have assisted students that are in all stages of their English assignments over the past 5 years.
Executive Functioning

Executive Functioning

I worked one-on-one with a distinguished professor’s son (at UIUC) who had ADHD and autism, and for over three years I dutifully organized his calendar and on the emotional side, provided him with constant encouragement and support. My service meant a lot to his parents and they gave me a raise every year as well as a final bonus when he successfully graduated and received a lucrative career offer. I continued working one-on-one with dozens of students online: with screen-sharing on, I organize their school portals, guide them to master time-blocking on Google calendar, and encourage them to complete assignments together with me. My unique mix of skills - writer, tutor, and personal assistant - makes me an effective executive function coach, and I would be honored to support your journey.
Personal Statements

Personal Statements

I have successfully guided dozens of students into their top-choice programs by helping them write unique and compelling personal statements. I use my years of experience at boutique college consulting firms to help students discover WOW-FACTOR essays, and keep the whole family updated on the progress. My clients have had very positive experiences and have gained acceptance at a wide range of schools across the United States, from UC Berkeley, to UIUC, to Columbia.
Study Skills

Study Skills

I successfully coached and worked with an undergraduate student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign who was diagnosed with ADHD and autism. Under my care over three years, he completed his Computer Science degree and landed a well-paying job at Amazon in Seattle. I received a raise each year as well as glowing recommendation letters from his parents, who described me as very dedicated, skilled, insightful, creative, and patient. I managed the student's due dates, motivated the student, and aided him in setting up good lifestyle and study habits, as well as developing a personal rapport.
Writing

Writing

During my college and high school career, I never received less than an A on a paper. Throughout my tutoring and academic tenure, I have read and written papers on just about every subject imaginable. No matter what stage of the writing process you're in - from struggling to get the paper started, to needing revisions and edits - I have been the helping hand for numerous of my peers.

He is an incrediblly patient coach for my son!

It has only been a week since my son started seeing Vikram but he has accomplished so much in the past week! I'm amazed how Vikram can encourage him to stay on task while he's working on his homework. I was so hesitant to get him an executive functioning coach initially but am so glad I found Vikram! Thank you!

Patient and helpful

We just finished our first session with Vikram and my 9th grade son. He was able to help my son look at his grades and helped him on math. We will definitely be using him again.

5-Star Math Tutor: Patient, Knowledgeable, and Dedicated

Tutor's Name: Vikram S Subject: Math Grade Level: Middle school to High school Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 stars Review: I am writing this review to highly recommend Vikram as a math tutor. My son was struggling in math, and after working with Vikram for just a few months, his grades have improved dramatically. He is now consistently scoring in the high 90's. Vikram is an excellent tutor for a number of reasons. 1. First, he is patient and understanding. He never gets frustrated with my son, even when he is struggling with a concept. 2. Second, he is very knowledgeable about math. He is able to explain concepts in a clear and concise way, and he is always willing to go the extra mile to help my son understand. 3. Third, he is very focused on helping my son build his confidence. He is always encouraging my son, and he helps him to see that he is capable of learning math. In addition to helping my son with math, Vikram has also taught him many valuable skills that will help him in school and in life. He has taught him how to manage his time effectively, how to work hard, and how to stay focused. He has also taught him how to think critically and solve problems. I highly recommend Vikram to anyone who is looking for a math tutor. He is an excellent teacher, and he is truly passionate about helping students succeed. Specific Examples: * Vikram helped my son build his confidence by giving him positive reinforcement and encouragement. He always told my son that he was capable of learning math, and he never gave up on him. * Vikram taught my son how to manage his time effectively by setting goals and deadlines. He also taught my son how to break down complex problems into smaller, more manageable steps. Overall Thoughts: I am so grateful to Vikram for helping my son improve his math grades. He is an excellent tutor, and I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for help with math.
