Keya P.

Hi! My name is Keya, and I’m passionate about making math understandable, engaging, and even fun for students of all levels. I have a strong background in mathematics and problem-solving, with a degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering and Computer Science. My technical education required advanced coursework in algebra, calculus, linear algebra, statistics, and discrete math, all of which I mastered through both theoretical and practical applications.

My tutoring experience began in high school, where I worked at Kumon as a senior instructor, helping elementary, middle, and high school students develop strong foundational math skills. I guided students through problem-solving techniques, ensuring they built confidence and independence in their learning. In college, I continued tutoring by assisting students in calculus courses, providing one-on-one and group support to help them grasp challenging concepts. My experience spans both formal and informal settings, including mentoring students through volunteer programs and assisting peers in academic settings.

I believe that every student learns differently, and I adapt my teaching methods to match their unique needs. Whether a student benefits from visual explanations, step-by-step problem breakdowns, or real-world applications, I adjust my approach to make math more accessible. My goal is to create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and ultimately developing a deeper understanding of mathematics. I am excited to help students build their skills and confidence, making math a subject they can approach with curiosity and success.
