Qualifications for “business”

I have tutored students in calculus at the regular, AP, and collegiate levels and scored a perfect 5/5 myself on the AP exam when I took it in high school. Factoring in my engineering background, I am well qualified to tutor in this subject and have received many positive reviews and testimonials for doing so.

My lessons will reinforce the conceptual side of calculus by relating everything I teach you to real-world applications in physics, biology, business, and economics. I also teach students to see calculus as a "visual" science by demonstrating how every concept has a graphical interpretation that is useful for deriving formulas, retaining information, and essential for understanding which concept to use in which problems.

In addition, I will show you superior problem solving strategies to solve problems with greater speed and accuracy that makes Calculus easier than you ever thought it could be!

(I also provide intensive review for prerequisite math subject matter including algebra, geometry, algebra 2, trigonometry and precalculus.)

MY TEACHING METHODOLOGY:
1. LOGIC – Learn the foundational strategies & approaches for efficiently navigating any section. Eliminate inefficiencies in your approach to avoid careless mistakes & wasted time.
2. KNOWLEDGE – Complete a test or section. Review it with me. Identify the gaps in your knowledge & skill set. Learn any and all concepts you need to fill those gaps as well as specific cue-based strategies to know when and how to apply the knowledge.
3. INTEGRATION – Apply what you learn to fix your mistakes as proof of learning. Complete homework assignments consisting of both targeted and mixed practice to reinforce & retain all learnings. Repeat steps 2-3 till target score is reached.

Due to this highly adaptive method, my lessons are streamlined, high-yield, & 100% personalized. No one-size-fits-all approach. No bloated syllabus or vague tips & tricks. Just content & strategy. Assuming they do the homework, most students get their best score in as little as 1 session per week over 2 - 3 months.

Next, I show them how to properly integrate supporting examples into an argument well as how to develop their argument to demonstrate critical thinking skills. Finally, I show them how to properly edit and revise their essays to tighten up the language and enhance the tone of the essay.

Algebra 1,

Algebra 1

Algebra is the basic language of all higher math, and that is exactly how I teach it - as a language of symbols. By teaching students to recognize key words and verbal cues in word problems, I students to "translate" the problems into equations with relative ease and solve the problem! From the weakest math students to the most advanced, the results of my method are always apparent from the very first lesson. Students learn to think of algebra intuitively and logically resulting in sustainable long-term improvements in their performance which in turn translates into increased confidence in future math courses. I also offer algebra review for test prep, including SAT Math and the SAT Subject Test in Math.
Algebra 2,

Algebra 2

Algebra 2 focuses on advanced mathematical operations, such as those pertaining to complex numbers, factorization, linear systems, matrices and elementary functions, which comprise the essential knowledge base for trigonometry and precalculus. Often times, students struggle because they lack the essential foundational knowledge or skills to work through the problems with speed and fluency. When teaching Algebra 2, I first focus on instilling proper technique and effective problem-solving habits that are not always covered thoroughly in standard high school courses. I then work with the student to improve their speed and confidence without sacrificing accuracy resulting in significant improvements in relatively short time. I also offer algebra 2 review for test prep, including SAT Math and the SAT Subject Test in Math.
Biology,

Biology

Due to my Biomedical Engineering background, you can expect a strong mastery and grasp of Biology. What I bring to my tutoring sessions for Biology sessions is a new way of looking at every aspect of the subject. With the extensive use of analogies and examples, I transform even the most advanced concepts and intricate details into an easily understood and readily recallable framework of knowledge. I emphasize visualization and creating connections between new material and old material to better store information and enhance understanding at the deepest level. My lessons will cover a lot in each session, but it will never feel that way. I will show you superior strategies and ways to organize information into a hierarchy that makes learning meaningful and enjoyable. I have experience tutoring for both the AP and SAT Subject tests in Biology with great success stories.

Trigonometry

Trigonometry

The keys to success in trigonometry are a strong grasp of 3-4 basic concepts (such as the unit circle, the concept of inverse functions, periodicity, and the pythagorean identity) and learning how to apply them to various situations. Too often students struggle with trigonometry because of the sheer number of different formulas and identities involved; under my tutelage, students learn how to generate and derive knowledge rather than simply memorizing and regurgitating it. I show them effective and reliable substitutions and content-based strategies to enable them to solve trigonometry problems with greater speed and accuracy. I also offer intensive review for prerequisite math subject matter such as algebra, geometry and algebra 2. For physics students, I provide thorough coverage of trigonometry as it pertains to vector math as well as test-prep oriented review for students taking the SAT Math Subject test.

I also show them intuitive math tricks and content-based strategies to work faster and more effectively.

Writing

Writing

With a Master's Degree in Creative Writing and over 8 years of experience tutoring students for the SAT Writing section, I am uniquely qualified to help students with various writing projects. Unlike the flat formulaic essays that result from forcing students to merely follow a formula, the essays I teach a student to write reveal the gradual development of a mature voice and distinct style. First, I teach students instead about the components of any good essay (thesis statement, attention grabbing headline, transitions, flow, structure, creative language and compositional risks). Next, I show them how to properly integrate supporting examples into an argument well as how to develop their argument to demonstrate critical thinking skills. Finally, I show them how to properly edit and revise their essays to tighten up the language and enhance the tone of the essay.

Great ACT Tutor!

My son ended up getting a perfect overall score of 36/36 on his ACT after taking six online lessons with Meeraj! When we first reached out to Meeraj for ACT tutoring, we specifically indicated that we needed a tutor who could improve his English/Reading/Essay scores while still maintaining his Math/Science scores. We were very pleased by Meeraj's ability to tutor all sections, and appreciated his flexibility in working with a sporadic schedule for tutoring. His is basically a one-stop service: not only do you get specific techniques and practical advice for every section, but you also receive ALL the necessary materials/practice tests as part of the service. Terrific results, very efficient, and well worth the investment.

Prepared and Present

We appreciate Meeraj’s expert advice and guidance as our daughter prepares for taking the ACT. His lessons are prepared and organized, and it’s clear he wants her to succeed!

Excellent tutor!

Excellent tutor! Also offered insight into which test is best. My son went from a 28 to a 34 after working with Meeraj for only a month or so. He even received a perfect score on reading which had started out as his lowest sub score. Highly recommend.

Kim, 7 lessons with Meeraj

Super Professional Tutor

Preparing for the SAT was hard for me, as I had tried other places like Princeton Review and such but it felt like they just didn’t work. So I went to Meeraj and went from a 1360 all the way to a 1500 with a perfect 800 on the Math! I am super grateful and Meeraj was always very professional and gave good lessons and tips. I highly recommend!

Diligent, Structured SAT Tutor!

If you are looking for the best SAT tutor for your child, Meeraj is it. He worked diligently with my son to help him prepare for his first time taking the SAT. Meeraj is very organized and structured and held my son accountable to ensure that each week's lessons and homework were completed and that he thoroughly understood the material. The end result? My son who is a sophomore scored a 1510 on his SAT (99% percentile) and we know that Meeraj was a big part of his success. Thank you, Meeraj!

Math strategies

Worked on personal weaknesses in math. Meeraj helped our student learn to answer problems correctly that he has missed on the ACT in the past. Meeraj is mindful and intentional about areas of focus designed to maximize success.

Very experienced SAT tutor!

My son ended up getting a score of 1530 on the SAT with Meeraj! He was trying to raise his math score for a very long time with no success. In just a short 3 weeks working with Meeraj, his math score went from 720 to 790. Meeraj has a very unique set of methods to target a student's weakness and provide related practice. I was very pleased by Meeraj's ability to tutor all sections on the test. Meeraj is flexible and very honest with his feedback. The time during lessons was used effectively. It was one of the best investments I have ever made when it comes to my son's academic success.

Tutor responded:

The first 10 of the 22 hours this customer purchased were for his older son, who is the student mentioned in this review. The other 12 hours were for his younger brother who did very well in his own right on the ACT.

Excellent Tutor

Meeraj is helping my daughter prep for her fall SAT. His approach is highly structured and seems to be working. We also appreciate the consistent communication.

Viv, 22 lessons with Meeraj

Very experienced tutor

My son needs to improve his SAT score (English). He wants to continue tutoring sessions with Meeraj and he was deeply impressed by Meeraj's approach and how clear and helpful his recommendations were. It seemed that a lot has been accomplished in just one session.
