About Palak


Bio

My teaching motto:

There are no stupid questions. You can achieve anything you set your mind to. Practice makes perfect.

About me:

My first tutoring job was offered by my counselor when I graduated from high school.

My teaching motto:

About me:

My first tutoring job was offered by my counselor when I graduated from high school. I worked as a tutor at a community college, where I was tutoring my fellow classmates and students with chemistry (General Chemistry I & II, Analytical Chemistry, Organic Chemistry I & II and Inorganic chemistry I & II) as well as mathematics (Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Calculus I and II). I tutor students of many ages, from the elementary level studying mathematics and science,to the college level of mathematics and science majors. My favorite subjects are mathematics and chemistry, at any level.

My specialty is one-on-one tutoring and group tutoring. My tutoring style has been described as patient, passionate, dedicated, and friendly. My students think of me as a friendly person, as I maintain that relationship so that it is easiest for them to ask me any questions without any hesitation as well as understand the material in a much more comfortable environment. I believe that nothing is hard to learn in education if it's done step by step and taught in a manner for the students to comprehend and apply to their daily lives.

Hobbies:

Tutoring is one of the avenues that satisfies my desire to increase interest in the subjects I teach, and to allow students to get more out of their education. I spend most of my free time with friends and family and sometimes I take my niece and her friends for picnic.

I love playing chess.

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

It's been 6 years that I have been tutoring for algebra. I know all tricks and tips about teaching algebra since I learned it in India as well as in USA. Basically, I start from current topics and decide weather they are missing some basic information or not by asking simple questions. If they are missing I go all the way back where it stared and fill in the gaps so math won't be magical and start making sense for the students.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

I got my algebra II teacher's recommendation. Algebra has always been piece of cake for me. Try me and it may become a piece of cake for you.

Could not ask for a better tutor!!!

If you are not sure about hiring Palak as a tutor, just trust me and DO IT! I started in the 2nd Organic Chemistry class without taking the first one. I was so far behind it truly seemed impossible to even pass the class! With Palak, you are not just paying for an hour of her time. She truly takes you on as HER student. She will dedicate as much time to you as you need to meet your goals, even if that means 3 hour + sessions. She was even willing to wake up early in the morning before my early AM test to get one last session in before my exam and said "your grades are more important than my sleep" I just received my first exam grade and it was a 94% ! If someone would have told me that I would make a 94% on ANY of the exams at the beginning of this class I would have said that it's impossible. But not with Palak.

Patient tutor with a passion for teaching

Palak is motivating and customizes her teaching to a student’s personality and learning style. Her patient approach really focuses on true understanding and building the foundations of good study habits.

Geometry Tutoring

Palak worked with my 9th grader to prepare for a Geometry exam. She reviewed core concepts and ensured understanding before moving on. My daughter’s score improved from her last few exams. Palak was very helpful, and we would definitely work with her again.

organic chemistry

Great tutor. Really helpful with learning the concepts and material to prepare for the test. She is willing to stay with you until you have an understanding of what you are actually doing. I feel confident going into my next test because of all her help. Highly recommend.

Very Smart, Flexible, Funny, and Hard Working

Palak has taught me a many things, but she also make sure I understand the concepts that I learn. She is very patient and understanding which makes it very easy to learn. It feels like she can teach in any style. She is always nice and makes good jokes that help you understand the material. She is very much brilliant with the material and can adapt to any teaching style.

A True Gift!

Palak has a true gift for tutoring. She was very knowledgeable about the material I was studying and taught me techniques to utilize during complex problems. She also guided me to a better understanding about the material and made sure I was comfortable with it before we moved on. Thanks for the confidence boost Palak, ready for my exam!

Great tutor but sometimes late

Palak is a great tutor. She's very knowledgeable about chemistry, and is willing to do extra research if she is not fully up to date on certain topics. She knows lots of short cuts to reach answers to problems quickly and effectively. Because she is young, it is very easy to relate to her on a personal level. She makes up the best analogies to chemistry concepts, and they are very helpful for remembering things. Palak was often late in the beginning of my chemistry tutoring career with her, though. I had to meet her off campus at a place we both knew how to get to, to bring her over to campus so that she was able to know the area. It was inconvenient, but I was very desperate. Her knowledge did make up for her tardiness, and as time went on, she got much better at being on time. I would recommend Palak to others for sure!

Beth, 3 lessons with Palak

Very Thorough!

My daughter who is a sophomore has been having a tough time with Chemistry so we found Palak a few weeks before her mid-term. It was great for me to see my daughter's eye start to light up when Palak was able to help her begin to finally understand the concepts. We are excited about having Palak as a resource as we enter into this second semester!

Maureen, 30 lessons with Palak

Very Good Session

My daughter was very happy with the tutoring session and felt like it helped her a lot to prepare for a chemistry test the next day. Palak was patient and easy going while still requiring my daughter to work some problems herself which I feel is essential to the process. We will definitely keep using Palak.
