UC Berkeley Grad for STEM Tutoring

Rishit G.

Hi, my name is Rishit! I am a UC Berkeley graduate with a Physics degree, who is currently pursuing a career as a Nuclear Power Instructor in the United States Navy. After taking many rigorous math and science courses, I realized the most valuable resource for learning and success was having access to avenues for personalized learning outside of the classroom. This usually comes in the form of a one-on-one interaction with a professor, a TA, or even another student. However, I realized that often times students are not afforded this valuable personalized learning experience, so I want to help fill that void by really emphasizing the development of an individual learning experience for each one of my students. I acknowledge that everyone has widely varying learning strategies and formats that work for them, so my first goal will always be to identify how a student learns the best. This will help design lesson plans for our sessions but also help create unique homework assignments that will specifically target and identify important skills that the student needs to work on.

As far as experience goes, I have a year of experience tutoring pre-Algebra level math to several middle school aged students. I have also done over 20 hours of community service work in high school where I helped tutor my peers in a wide range of subject areas from chemistry to calculus. In college, I have tutored both high school and college students, primarily in physics and math, where many achieved a 5 on the AP Physics and AP Calculus BC exams. All in all, I have about 300 hours of tutoring experience, so you can expect effective and experienced help in a variety of topics.

I am excited to work with and help students achieve their academic goals, so any and all feedback and suggestions are greatly appreciated. Feel free to contact to me if you have any other questions or want to schedule a lesson!
