I have 12 years of experience teaching English (including preparing for English based tests like the GRE, TOEFL etc). I have also worked with students from different countries to help improve their communication and language skills. I have a Masters' degree in Biology from UTDallas and have utilized my skills and experience to teach Biology courses at the University of Texas at Dallas. I also have hands-on experience working in biological / research labs for over 8 years which makes it easier to explain different concepts to students.

I believe in keeping things simple while still challenging students. I usually try to use real life examples wherever possible to make concepts easier to understand. I am usually available after 6 pm all days except Wednesdays. I also own a car and can drive to a mutual location to meet with the student.

I look forward to hearing from you and assisting you with your goals.

This hands-on experience has taught me how to sustain a child's attention span online and in person, handle frustrations with patience, and celebrate the small wins that build a student's confidence. My elementary science tutoring philosophy relies heavily on visual hooks and the scientific method. I design my sessions around the natural curiosity of elementary students by encouraging them to make predictions, observe patterns, and draw conclusions. I use high-energy visual aids, interactive whiteboards, and simple drawing tools to illustrate things like cell structures, planetary orbits, or weather systems. My goal is to make science feel like a series of puzzles to solve rather than a list of facts to memorize.

Patient, encouraging and knowledgable tutor

Srisha taught me functional groups and macromolecules. I was blown away after we finished our session because she made an intimidating subject easy for me to understand and helped me learn by testing me and teaching me at the same time. I would recommend Srisha to anyone especially those who tend to be intimidated by biology.
