About Me-
Hi there! I’m Bhavna, and I love working with students—helping them not just understand what they read, but also develop the strategies to become confident, independent learners.

I hold an M.S. in Botany, and while my academic training is in science, my true passion lies in teaching. I discovered this while guiding my own kids, and later deepened it during my time at Kumon Institute. Since then, I’ve tutored students across grade levels on both tutoring platforms and through...

About Me-
Hi there! I’m Bhavna, and I love working with students—helping them not just understand what they read, but also develop the strategies to become confident, independent learners.

I hold an M.S. in Botany, and while my academic training is in science, my true passion lies in teaching. I discovered this while guiding my own kids, and later deepened it during my time at Kumon Institute. Since then, I’ve tutored students across grade levels on both tutoring platforms and through private sessions.

What I Teach-

Reading comprehension: understanding text, answering multiple-choice and free-response questions, and citing text evidence.

Writing skills: narratives, informative, and argumentative essays with strong structure and clear conclusions.

Language skills: grammar and mechanics for effective, polished writing.
Hindi: Conversational, reading, and writing. As a bilingual who studied Hindi as part of my school curriculum and grew up in Northern India reading and speaking the language daily, I am well versed in its nuances and cultural context.

My Approach-
I bring the same structured, analytical mindset I used in science to my teaching—breaking skills into clear, manageable steps. I also make lessons engaging by connecting them to students’ interests and guide them toward independence by teaching strategies they can apply on their own.

Student Success-
Many of my students have improved their scores by 10–20%, but more importantly, they’ve become confident, independent readers and writers. Parents describe me as patient, supportive, and effective.

Working one-on one with students of all ages. I work closely with students and use maximum resources (You might need to purchase a couple worksheet books) so that we can work together on the Reading comprehension skill development, and Grammar. In Common core curriculum, the learning needs to be complied from various pieces of Language and arts and hence would need patience and consistent work. By working together, we shall succeed.

Wonderful Tutor!

Bhavna went the extra mile to make sure I learned the Punjabi words by sending me a document with the translations. She made the process very easy to learn and enjoyable! Thank you Bhavna!

My 8yrs Son Hindi Tutor

Bhavna S is my son's new Hindi teacher. My son started studying Hindi at the age of 6yrs and he is now 8yrs. His first grade teacher got him involved in learning about India and the language and he's been hooked every since. His first lesson with her Bhavna S, was outstanding. He liked her for day one. They connected right away. He looks forward to his weekly lessons. He wants to go to India in the next year or two, She has taken him to new level in learning the Hindi language. Ms. Bhavna is kind, patient and very knowledgeable of the language.
