About Rishit

Bio

Howdy! I’m Rishit, a patient and versatile tutor who helps students make sense of difficult material, strengthen their skills, and become more confident, independent learners. I work with students across a wide range of subjects, including Elementary Math and Reading, English, Prealgebra, Algebra 1 and 2, Geometry, Trigonometry, and Calculus. I also support students preparing for exams such as the ASVAB and OAR, as well as learners working with Python, PyCharm, and ArcGIS.

Howdy! I’m Rishit, a patient and versatile tutor who helps students make sense of difficult material, strengthen their skills, and become more confident, independent learners. I work with students across a wide range of subjects, including Elementary Math and Reading, English, Prealgebra, Algebra 1 and 2, Geometry, Trigonometry, and Calculus. I also support students preparing for exams such as the ASVAB and OAR, as well as learners working with Python, PyCharm, and ArcGIS.

Every student learns differently, so I tailor each session to the student’s current level, pace, and goals. We can work through class assignments, rebuild missing foundations, prepare for quizzes and exams, or get ahead in a course. Rather than simply showing a student how to reach the right answer, I break challenging concepts into manageable steps, explain the reasoning behind them, and use guided practice until the student can apply the skill independently. For test preparation, I identify weaker areas, create a focused review plan, and combine content review with realistic practice questions and test-taking strategies.

As someone with ADHD, I understand firsthand how frustrating learning can feel when a traditional explanation does not click. That experience has made me especially patient with students who learn differently or have lost confidence in a subject. I create a comfortable environment where questions and mistakes are part of the learning process, and I am always willing to slow down or approach a concept from another angle. My goal is for every student to leave our sessions understanding the material better and feeling more capable of succeeding on their own.

Approved Subjects

ACT Math

ACT Math

I have extensive experience tutoring mathematics and helping students build the algebraic and trigonometric foundation needed for success in precalculus and calculus. I can help with polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions, equations and inequalities, graph transformations, complex numbers, vectors, sequences, conic sections, and other core precalculus topics. I focus on breaking difficult problems into clear steps while helping students understand the reasoning behind each method rather than relying on memorization alone. My lessons include guided practice, targeted review of weak areas, and exam preparation designed to strengthen both problem-solving ability and confidence.
Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I help Algebra 1 students turn confusing concepts into clear, manageable steps while strengthening any foundational math skills that may be holding them back. I work with students on equations and inequalities, graphing, systems of equations, exponents, polynomials, quadratics, and word problems, using their classwork, quizzes, and tests to target exactly where they need support. My teaching style focuses on understanding why a method works rather than simply memorizing steps, and I adjust my explanations until the concept clicks. My goal is for students to become more confident and independent in Algebra 1 while improving their performance in class and on exams.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

I have experience leading math lessons in group settings as well as working with students one-on-one. These experiences taught me how to explain the same concept in different ways and adjust my approach when a student is struggling. I can help with functions, quadratics, polynomials, systems of equations, exponents, radicals, logarithms, sequences, and graphing. I break multistep problems into manageable steps while helping students build the confidence and independence needed for assignments, quizzes, and exams.
ASVAB

ASVAB

I have experience helping students prepare for the ASVAB and earned a perfect score on the mathematics portion of the exam myself. I help students strengthen Arithmetic Reasoning, Math Knowledge, Word Knowledge, and Paragraph Comprehension while focusing additional time on the sections that need the most improvement. My sessions combine clear concept review, ASVAB-style practice questions, pacing techniques, and practical test-taking strategies. Whether a student is preparing for a first attempt or trying to improve a previous score, I create a focused plan around their timeline, goals, and desired military career path.
Chess

Chess

I have played chess at around the 1400 level and enjoy helping beginner and intermediate players improve their understanding of the game. I work on tactical awareness, opening principles, piece development, attacking ideas, positional decision-making, and common checkmating patterns while helping students understand the reasoning behind each move. I also like reviewing students’ actual games to identify recurring mistakes and turn those positions into targeted practice. My goal is to help players think more clearly over the board, calculate more accurately, and steadily improve both their confidence and results.

I help Geometry students turn diagrams, formulas, and proofs into clear, manageable steps while strengthening any Algebra skills that may be making the course more difficult. I work with students on angle relationships, triangles, similarity and congruence, transformations, coordinate geometry, circles, area and volume, and geometric proofs while staying closely aligned with their class material. My teaching style uses visual explanations and guided problem solving to help students understand why geometric relationships and formulas work rather than simply memorizing them. I focus on helping students become more confident and independent while improving their performance on homework, quizzes, and exams.
GIS

GIS

I use ArcGIS Pro professionally at The Garcia Companies, where I work with drone imagery, LiDAR point clouds, CAD-to-GIS conversions, construction data, and mobile field-collection workflows. I have developed automation tools for processing spatial data, detecting site changes, converting engineering drawings into usable GIS features, and producing project deliverables more efficiently. My background also includes college coursework in Geographic Information Science and Technology and hands-on experience with geoprocessing, coordinate systems, spatial analysis, cartography, Field Maps, Python, and ArcPy. Because I apply these skills to active projects, I can help students understand not only how ArcGIS tools work, but how to select and use them in practical GIS workflows.
