Northwestern junior studying math, journalism, and legal studies.

Ananya C.

I’m a junior at Northwestern University, where I’m double majoring in mathematics and journalism, with a concentration in legal studies.

I’ve worked with students from middle school through college across a range of subjects, including algebra, pre-calculus, calculus, essay writing, and legal reasoning. My tutoring style is highly collaborative—my goal is always to help students build a strong conceptual foundation and become confident in their own problem-solving and communication skills.

As a math tutor, I focus on breaking complex problems into intuitive steps. I encourage students to explain their reasoning aloud, so they can turn that verbal clarity into written mastery. Math isn’t just about memorizing formulas—it’s about recognizing patterns, asking the right questions, and learning how to approach problems from multiple angles.

In writing, I work closely with students to build strong, well-organized essays with clear arguments and clean grammar. Whether you're writing a literary analysis, persuasive essay, or comparative research paper, I’ll help you clarify your thesis, structure your paragraphs effectively, and polish your syntax and word choice. I pay close attention to grammar, transitions, and flow, ensuring your writing is not only technically sound but engaging and purposeful.

I’ve reported for both local and national outlets, including Bloomberg News, contributing to real-time reporting on markets and policy. That experience sharpens my ability to teach students how to write clearly under pressure and explain complex topics in accessible language.

No matter the subject, I tailor each session to the student’s learning style and goals. I use interactive tools like digital whiteboards and guided notes, and I’m always happy to offer follow-up resources between sessions.
