Hi, I am Payal! I come from a family of teachers and so I can say that teaching is in my system!
I have over 15 years experience as a tutor and teacher. I have a Bachelors degree in Chemistry and Math. I also have Masters in Education from George Mason University with a 4.0 GPA. I am licensed to teach Chemistry and Middle School Math in Virginia and I won the ETS award of excellence in Praxis 2 chemistry exam.

I have a passion to teach students and the happiness which students have when they understand a concept is priceless to me. I am always ready to help!

I make the difficult chemistry concepts easy to understand by first providing students with structured examples followed by independent practice.

I have helped several students get a high score on their VA Chemistry SOL exams.

On a personal note, in my free time, I enjoy cooking and reading mystery books by Agatha Christie. I live with my husband and daughter in Virginia.

I am very accessible and always there to help students! Just ask!

Payal is a wonderful tutor! Highly recommended!

My daughter Emma was struggling with Chemistry. She has met with Payal only twice for tutoring and her level of confidence in her ability to be successful in this subject has improved immensely. Payal is a great teacher, Emma is not only understanding now the concepts, she is also starting to love Chemistry! We highly recommend Payal, she is patient with her students, teaches in a manner that resonates with them, and she is very knowledgeable and professional. As a parent I cannot be happier and more relief to have found Payal. She is great!

Great first time session!

My student had a good Chemistry tutor session with Payal. He responded well to her teaching style - and even asked when he could schedule his next session! Thanks so much Payal for working with us.

Connecting with students

Payal is a knowledgeable and patient expert. Her demonstrated warmth and ability to connect was remarkable. My daughter is early in her high school journey, Payal was able to build her confidence and proficiency.

Knowledgeable and Patient

Payal is a good instructor. My 6th grader really enjoyed her session. Payal is very patient and we will definitely use her again. My daughter is eager for the next session. This is our second session. I will continue to utilize her as my child prepares for 7th grade.

Outstanding!

Daughter loved her as she made math fun and took the time to explain..already being asked to book Payal at end of summer for a refresher session..Very knowledgeable in subject matter and passes that knowledge across in a energetic non intimidating format..

Knowledgeable and patient

Payal has helped my son very much in getting ready for the math portion of standardized testing this year. She explains concepts in any easy to understand format and is a lovely person. She also handwrote problems when her printer was acting up which showed me that she really cares.

Katrina , 5 lessons with Payal

Very patient and knowledgeable

She was very knowledgeable and was very memorized and didn't need notes to help her. She was very nice and was patient, she had a very good aura about her and is very understanding.
