Bio

Hello! My name is Sureya! I am a recent high school graduate with honors and over five years of tutoring experience. In high school, I was a Dual Enrollment, Honors, and Advanced Placement student. I am now an incoming college student planning to study aerospace engineering. From the time I was ten years old, I knew I wanted to be an aerospace engineer, but as I got older, I also realized something else: I have a passion for tutoring others.

Hello! My name is Sureya! I am a recent high school graduate with honors and over five years of tutoring experience. In high school, I was a Dual Enrollment, Honors, and Advanced Placement student. I am now an incoming college student planning to study aerospace engineering. From the time I was ten years old, I knew I wanted to be an aerospace engineer, but as I got older, I also realized something else: I have a passion for tutoring others. It is a great reward to bring my strengths and passion to other students.

Over the past five years, I have tutored a variety of subjects, including SAT math, Prealgebra, Algebra 1, Latin, Team Policy Debate, and Mock Trial. My homeschool co-op has also invited me to serve as a substitute teacher. My experience in tutoring includes both working and volunteering. I have a background in online, in-person, one-on-one, and group tutoring. For the most part, my students have been in grades 8-12. I have received glowing feedback from both parents and students in the past.

My tutoring style is casual but effective. I always start by getting to know my students before diving into problems together. Students have a much easier time learning if they have a strong connection with their tutor. During each session, I review practice examples, essential concepts, problem-solving techniques, sentence structures, etc., depending on the subject. I always lay a solid foundation of knowledge before building on my student's understanding. Each session is geared toward sharpening my student's strengths and improving their weaknesses.

I have learned so much from my students. Every pupil has a different way of analyzing, thinking about, solving problems, identifying false arguments, and evaluating sentence structures. My students have always been creative, attentive, and eager to learn. Each student is a joy to tutor, and I will do my very best to help you succeed in any path you choose. If you have any questions or would like to schedule a lesson, feel free to contact me!

My goal is to help them reach a level of public speaking that will allow them to capture their audience with the magical power of words.

Excellent debate tutor

Sureya has been working with my son twice a week for the past four weeks on debate -specifically research skills, argument development, and presentation. In that short time, I’ve seen a clear improvement in his ability to extract the right evidence to support his points, as well as noticeably better pacing and confidence during delivery. We’re extremely pleased with her work.

Pleasant experience in the first class

My daughter enjoyed the geometry class with Sureya and found helpful. She will be taking classes weekly to improve her grades.

Knowledgeable, patient and fun Latin tutor!

Sureya has been teaching my children (ages 8, 10, 11) Latin twice weekly and they always look forward to their lessons with her. She is patient, well prepared and keeps them all engaged in a subject that could otherwise be dull! She works on grammar, reading, translating and vocabulary thoroughly and keeps the lessons moving at a good pace. Homework is assigned weekly as well which I appreciate and which keeps the kids thinking outside the lessons. We are very happy to have found Sureya who brings a bright, positive energy and a love of Latin to my young learners.

Consistent, Patient, and Excellent Tutoring Experience

We continue to have a wonderful experience working with Sureya for 5th grade Eureka Math. She has a deep understanding of the curriculum and explains each module in a clear, patient, and supportive way. Our child now approaches Eureka Math problems with much more confidence and accuracy. Sureya’s ability to simplify complex concepts and build strong foundations has made a noticeable difference in both schoolwork and test performance. We are very grateful for her guidance and highly recommend her.
