I have been tutoring off and on since I was a teenager and consider it my first job and my favorite type of teaching.

I have over ten years of experience teaching college-level mathematics, from pre-algebra to introductory proof-based courses and everything in between! I would also say remedial math education and online learning are my fortes.

Hello, my name is Sameeksha, and I am a college student studying Biomedical Sciences. I have been tutoring students for half a decade now in various subjects such as SAT math, algebra, pre-calc, and sciences.

I look forward to working together!
