Learning is a consequence of thinking. I believe , knowledge comes on the coattails of thinking. As we think, about the content, we are learning, we truly learn it.

Learning is a consequence of thinking. I believe , knowledge comes on the coattails of thinking. As we think, about the content, we are learning, we truly learn it.

A firm believer in perseverance and learning, I decided to become an educator from being an engineer ( B.E. electronics Engineering) and a small scale industry loans expert. I embarked on my chosen path by earning a B.A. in Mathematics. My multi-faceted industry experience enables me to explain application of mathematics in everyday life and in highly technical careers. I make the subject more relevant and interesting by making connections to real life situations. This helps students understand and retain the concepts better.

I am a certified High School Mathematics (CE 1900) and Technology Education (CE 1810) teacher.

I tutor AP Calculus AB, AP Calculus BC, AP Statistics, Pre-Calculus, Geometry, Algebra II, Algebra I , ACT Math and SAT Math. I have also taught SAT Subject Math II. I haven been teaching SAT Math at Y2 Academy since 2017. I have worked as a substitute teacher in Scotch Plains-Fanwood School District at middle and high school level. I have volunteered to teach mathematics to adults to help them prepare for GED through Literacy Volunteers of Union County, I have also conducted SAT Math workshops at Fanwood Memorial Library as a volunteer. Due to my varied experiences, I have the ability to adapt to different types of learning styles. I am able to connect to students with diverse backgrounds and learning abilities and help them with the subject content.

I am flexible and provide feedback to parents.

Excellent Math Tutor

Manjula has been tutoring my daughter on and off for the past couple of years for Calculus AB and BC. Now she is turning in my daughter's college math courses. She is patent and knowledgeable. She is excellent at understanding my daughter's weaknesses and strengths and finding a way to help her. She is always prepared before a lesson and follows up after. We are fortunate to have found her.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor.

Manjula was very patient with my son while teaching him geometry for the finals. She is an excellent tutor who knows how to make the lessons easy to understand, especially when my son was struggling with the subject. Thanks to her lessons, my son scored an 88 on the finals, which is very good compared to his other grades. We highly recommend her; she is the best!

Dedicated and knowledgeable

I am happy to write this review for Ms Sohal, an outstanding tutor who has made an true impact on my grandson’s academic journey. From the beginning her dedication, patience, and knowledge was evident. She created personalized lesson plans tailored to my grandson’s learning needs, which brought him up to grade level where he had been lagging behind in a relatively short amount of time. Not only did this Ms Sohal help improve his understanding of the material, but she also instilled in him confidence in his learning. Her encouragement and consistent support made all the difference. I highly recommend Manjula Sohal to any parent or guardian looking for exceptional educational support for their child.
