Bio

Hi, I’m Nitya. I earned my B.S. in Biochemistry from UCLA with a 3.554 GPA. My love for chemistry began in high school, inspired by my AP Chemistry teacher who made learning engaging and personalized. In my tutoring, I strive to be adaptive, engaging, and considerate, just like him.

Hi, I’m Nitya. I earned my B.S. in Biochemistry from UCLA with a 3.554 GPA. My love for chemistry began in high school, inspired by my AP Chemistry teacher who made learning engaging and personalized. In my tutoring, I strive to be adaptive, engaging, and considerate, just like him.

At UCLA, I spent a year in the Learning Assistant Program, where I used a student-centered approach to guide students toward independent problem-solving and critical thinking. I created personalized review materials, like worksheets and cheat sheets, to strengthen understanding and promote higher-order thinking. My interactive review sessions for general chemistry helped underclassmen grasp complex concepts and improve their academic performance. By incorporating real-world scenarios, I prepared students comprehensively for exams and coursework, enhancing their ability to apply knowledge to new contexts.

In addition to my role at UCLA, I offered tailored tutoring sessions in chemistry and algebra for high school students at all levels. My teaching strategies simplify complex concepts, enhance comprehension, and improve performance across multiple disciplines. I adapt my methods to each student’s learning style and goals, resulting in measurable improvements in grades and confidence. I focus on creating a supportive environment that encourages engagement, critical thinking, and a positive relationship with education, fostering a love for learning and self-belief.

Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to discuss how I can support your academic goals. I’m committed to responding promptly and keeping communication open. I’m also eager for feedback to continuously improve my tutoring sessions to meet your needs.

Approved Subjects

Algebra 2

Algebra 2

I hold a B.S. in Biochemistry from UCLA, which has equipped me with a strong foundation in advanced mathematics, including Algebra 2. My experience tutoring high school students in Algebra 2 has given me a deep understanding of the curriculum and the common challenges students face. I use a student-centered approach to break down complex algebraic concepts such as polynomial functions, logarithms, and systems of equations, making them easier to understand. I tailor each session to meet the individual needs of the student, ensuring that they not only master the material but also develop confidence in their problem-solving skills. My goal is to simplify difficult topics and provide clear, step-by-step guidance so students can excel in Algebra 2 and beyond.

Chemistry

I hold a B.S. in Biochemistry from UCLA, graduating with a 3.554 GPA, which reflects my strong academic performance in the field. As a Learning Assistant at UCLA, I specialized in general chemistry, helping underclassmen grasp complex concepts by using a student-centered approach. I created personalized materials like worksheets and cheat sheets to strengthen understanding and encourage higher-order thinking. Additionally, I incorporated real-world applications into review sessions to help students prepare for exams. During high school, I tutored AP Chemistry, simplifying challenging material and adapting to diverse learning styles to ensure student success across all levels of chemistry.

Helpful and patient

Nitya is great for anything chem! I really love her, she's patient and knows what she's talking about without being condescending. I was really struggling with chem 100 at my college and she's definitely been a huge help.

She taught me what my school teacher couldn't

Nitya and I reviewed several of my earlier school chemistry learning packages. She walked me through the logic of the problems and how to navigate them.... after our review, I re-did each package based on her teaching... I got all of them correct... but more importantly, I understood how to get to the right answers. Thank you for your help!!

Huge assistance to sophomore daughter in AP Chem

Nitya has helped our daughter build more confidence for her AP Chem class. She is a strong student, but Nitya helped her earn an A in her first semester. It was not easy, but Nitya's tutoring helped clarify areas where she was less confident, in a patient and organized way. Highly recommend!

I have an A in honors chem thanks to Nitya

Because of this great tutor I have been able to keep an A in honors chem class despite having a teacher that doesn’t teach well. Nitya explains everything so well and therefore I’m able to understand learn the material. She’s amazing!

Great chemistry tutor!

My son was failing chemistry and we didn’t find out until a week before his final. Nitya was kind enough to work with him several hours a day for a week and helped him pull his grade up. He miraculously passed the class. We are thrilled and so thankful for Nitya!
