Hi, my name is Ishani! I am currently a medical student at Columbia University, and I recently graduated magna cum laude from Yale University with a double major in Biology and Sociology. I was also a student-athlete on the Swimming and Diving team and on the premed track. I have scored in the 99th percentile on the SAT, ACT, MCAT, and 10 AP exams, and I was a National Merit Finalist. Through my experiences in school and with standardized tests, I've learned the strategies and tools necessary to thrive, and I want to share these tips with you!

I have over six years of tutoring experience, specializing in all sections of the SAT, ACT, and PSAT exams, middle and high school STEM subjects, and more recently college biology, chemistry, physics, and the MCAT. I have worked with students with a wide variety of personalities, backgrounds, and learning styles, and in various settings ranging from large test-prep companies to underserved communities. These experiences have fostered my passion for mentoring, tutoring, and working with students to reach their goals.

When working with students, I tailor my approach to meet each individual's unique needs, providing personalized, one-on-one support that leverages their strengths while addressing areas for improvement. I work with each student to break down and master content and utilize problem-solving and test-taking strategies to maximize performance. As a patient and supportive teacher, I strive to build students' confidence and empower them to develop skills that will serve them throughout their academic journey and beyond. I believe with the right support, every student is capable of thriving, and I hope to be that support for you!

Fantastic tutor!

Ishani is an excellent tutor. She is extremely knowledgeable in her subjects, and is able to explain concepts better than my professor ever could! She has been helping me with my college-level physics course, and has been able to help me understand every single concept that I have struggled with. Not only does she have a great teaching style, but she is efficient, kind, and understanding. I could not recommend her enough.

Excellent tutor

Ishani helped us with Algebra and Geometry. From the start she wanted to understand how to help, took time to familiarize herself with the syllabus and worked with my daughter to identify her gaps in understanding. They have been working together and I can already see an improvement in my daughter’s confidence in the subject, as well as improved grasp on concepts she previously struggled with. Thank you Ishani!

Great explainer and patient

High school geometry tutor; my daughter loves her ability to simplify complex topics. Her patience to make sure that the learner is actually learning is refreshing. Providing the parent with a summary of topics covered and areas of strengths/weaknesses helps to target studying.

Helped even in one session!

Ishani was fantastic with my daughter, who is in junior high school and taking AP Physics. My daughter was struggling and dealing with a lot of self-doubt, but even after just one session, Ishani helped her work through the concepts on her own in a way she understood, which boosted her confidence for her tests. We’ll definitely be booking with Ishani again!

Wonderful!

Ishani was very helpful for my daughter’s studying for Alegbra 2. She’s very patient and incredibly knowledgeable. She even had some useful tricks for my daughter. We will continue to use Ishani!!
