Experienced Physics, Math, and SAT Tutor; Wesleyan Graduate

Meera D.

Hi! I'm Meera. I received my B.A. from Wesleyan University, where I double majored in Physics and Science & Technology Studies and minored in Dance. I graduated with a 4.01 GPA, received Phi Beta Kappa distinction, and made the Dean's List every semester. My physics experience also extends into experimental research, and my work has recently been submitted for publication in the Journal of Fluid Mechanics. Through the Wesleyan Physics Department, I received the Outstanding Contribution to Science Education Prize for my work as a teaching assistant in physics.

I have three years of experience as a physics and dance teaching assistant at the undergraduate level, helping students in both introductory and advanced courses. I also worked as an SAT Math and English Instructor, holding one-on-one tutoring sessions and group classes of 3–15 students. I specialize in physics and mathematics, including AP Physics, Calculus, Precalculus, Geometry, and Algebra, and also tutor SAT Math and English.

I believe students should develop the ability to approach problems from multiple perspectives. By encouraging different approaches and methods, I help students build the confidence to tackle unfamiliar problems rather than simply reproduce solutions they have seen before. I come prepared with an individualized lesson plan and provide additional practice tailored to each student's needs. I believe in open communication with students and parents and welcome questions and feedback throughout the learning process. Please feel free to contact me to schedule a lesson!
