"Very Professional, Likable, and Excellent"
- Scott, Elgin, IL on 3/20/14I spent a lot of time trying to find the right tutor for my two high school juniors. I checked out Sylvan and Huntington and found both to be very expensive and each more interested in fitting my girls into the way their programs work (very different from one another) than in discovering what they really needed. So, I was more than thrilled when I finally found Shefali. My girls go to different high schools, one was failing Pre-Calculus and the other Algebra 2. Shefali sat down with each of them to learn about their needs and then created an evaluation test on her own time to better understand where they most needed help.
My girls see Shefali twice a week, once during the week for homework support and for an hour each on Saturday for deeper learning and ACT prep work. They both like her very much, and so do I. She contacts me after each session and we discuss what they studied and any challenges they encountered, and there are challenges! Neither is a highly motivated student so it's not easy to keep them invested in learning more than enough to get by, but Shefali has somehow managed.
It's been about six weeks, and my Algebra 2 student has already improved her failing semester grade to a "high C" which she believes will be "B" after her next quiz. My Pre-Calc student is making similar progress with a solid "C" and a quiz coming up on Friday. Shefali is very professional, likable, and an excellent tutor. Like me, you will be happy you found her.
"Thank you!"
- Rodelo, Crystal Lake, IL on 8/1/16Thanks Shefali for doing the math assessment with Morgan. She was very happy with how you worked with her. She is looking forward to getting help on the Explorer test as well as with Algebra.
"Knowledgeable, caring, patient"
- Tyler, Mchenry, IL on 7/29/16She is a wonderful, hands-on teacher and actually works out any problem right in front of you. If you ask her to make anew equation up, she will do so and help you work through it. Wonderful lady. I'm glad she is helping me achieve my goal.
"Great Tutor"
- Ginny, Elgin, IL on 4/29/16Shefali is doing a great job with my daughter in her Honors Geometry class. Shefali is willing to go the extra step to make sure they understand the material. She even makes herself available via text if she has any questions regarding homework.
"The best!"
- Karolina, Huntley, IL on 4/13/16Shefali is absolutely the best teacher! My daughter wishes that she was her school teacher. She is very patient, professional, kind, and demanding in a very good way. My daughter has only great things to say about her.
"Patient and Knowledgeable Tutor"
- Enrique, Lake In The Hills, IL on 12/18/15We have been using Shefali for a couple of sessions and are very happy with how she works with our daughter preparing her for the ACT test with a very short time frame. We will see how our daughter does in the test. Shefali is very punctual as well as very patient and explains everything my daughter doesn't understand. I'm planning on having my High school son start taking lessons with Shefali as well. Would highly recommend her.
"Results driven tutor with a vested interest in my child's success"
- Kraig, Hampshire, IL on 7/19/15My son has add/adhd and was behind with numbers. Shefali has been working with him approximately 2 months and the results are clear. I have saved all of the worksheets they have worked on and the proof is in his work. If you want results then you want Shefali.
"Punctual, prepared tutor"
- Candida, Gilberts, IL on 1/27/15My son had a recent tutoring session with Shefali. She arrived on time and was well prepared. My son was able to follow the session. We will see how he does on his test.
"Patient and kind teacher"
- Kirsten, Dundee, IL on 1/23/15My son is preparing for the ASVAB and math is not a strong subject for him. Shefali sat very patiently with him and worked with him. He needed the confidence and the review helped him! I recommend Shefali as a tutor for any age range as she seems to be able to adapt whatever teaching to the age of the student. Thank you for getting him started on working on his math.
"Very Encouraging"
- Cindy, Elgin, IL on 10/13/14I appreciate the positive feedback Shefali gives my daughter. It is great to hear her tell her she knows how to do something or has it right. In addition to explaining and demonstrating how to do certain algebra problems, Shefali has my daughter guide her through the process. I think this is an excellent way to see if my daughter really understands the concept. After only a couple of sessions with Shefali, my daughter is already feeling more confident and her quizzes at school are improving.
"Very Patient Tutor"
- Zakkiyya, Elgin, IL on 10/5/14My son was a high school sophomore struggling with Honors Geometry. Shefali really helped him improve and gain confidence on the subject within one week. She is also very patient, kind and, knowledgeable. As parents, my husband and I also really appreciate her ability to be flexible with our schedule. Thank you.
"Very Great!"
- Phil, Lake In The Hills, IL on 9/16/14Shefali was very professional, and was able to help me get ready for the math portion of the ACT. I couldn't find anyone to take the time to review the practice tests I had, but she walked me through all 60 of my practice test problems. If I ever need another tutor for math, I will for sure be calling her again. SHE IS WORTH EVER PENNY!!!
"Great Tutor"
- Rob, Gilberts, IL on 5/13/14We have been using Shefali for a couple of weeks and are very happy with how she works with our son. She is very patient and explains everything she is helping him with. Would highly recommend her.
"Knowledgeable, patient and friendly math tutor!!!"
- Mansoor, Huntley, IL on 2/4/14Shefali has been tutoring my son in Algebra for the past 3 months. Over this time period, my son’s grade has gone up 2 letter grades. His confidence and knowledge level have increased tremendously. Shefali has a very unique approach to teaching kids. During her first visit, she sat with my sons and evaluated his skill level in Algebra. After the evaluation, she put together a customized plan to help solidify fundamentals so he understands the concepts followed by problem solving assignments that he would work on his own. Shefali is very patient, friendly and has a knack for making a kid feel comfortable so that he is open to learning. Great tutor!!!
"Impressive"
- Rosemary, Carpentersville, IL on 9/17/13I am new to WyzAnt and this is my 13 y.o. grandson's first experience with a tutor. Shefali is awesome. After 4 sessions his level of confidence in his work has already began to increase.
"Great tutor"
- Nitza, Hampshire, IL on 9/15/12She is just great. She is very good at breaking things down into simple steps. When something still doesn't make sense to me she explains it in a couple different ways until I "get it". She's very encouraging as well.
Approved subjects are in bold.
Approved subjects
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
ACT Math
I have taught the math section of the ACT one-on-one. I have provided information to students on test taking strategies like time management, and simple approaches to complicated problems. I have guided them when to use the calculator. We work together and with consistent effort students have performed ACT math section with greater confidence.
Algebra 1
I have taught many students in the past who had difficulty understanding the basics of Algebra. My strategy of teaching is to use a step-by-step approach, breaking a complex problem in small sections. I give them different kinds of problems for practicing the skills. I have helped students overcome their fear of Algebra.
Algebra 2
Algebra 2 is a continuation of Algebra 1. I have tutored students in Algebra 2. I have taught all the topics in Algebra 2 like linear relations and functions, system of equations and inequalities, matrices, quadratic functions and inequalities, polynomial functions, conic section, rational expression and equations, exponential and logarithmic relations, sequences and series, trigonometric identities and graph. It can be a difficult subject but with practice students can gain confidence and I work with them to build their confidence.
