About

This is a fun, friendly series with competition. Many of us here at SHW love to read, so we put book lovers in a close battle to see who can read the most books! The contest takes place over a three-month period in which you will set goals for your reading, explore new books, and meet new authors, all while facing a fun competition against other learners, tutors, and friends here at SHW. In addition to the competition, we will have sessions covering the lives of different authors, analyzing their writing styles, and learning more about them. Each session is also seen to get more book recommendations and check in on your progress.

About the Tutors

Hi! I'm Prakruti, an incoming freshman in the Bay Area! Let's see if we have common interests! ☄️ I love astronomy, and it's been my goal for a long time to become an engineer at NASA once I graduate! 🧮 I love math. It's one of my favorite subjects at school! I love math because it's based on logic and reasoning! ⛺ I love camping in my free time! It's comforting to me to escape into the middle of nowhere inside a cozy tent! 👩‍🏫 Tutoring. I currently tutor speech and debate, and I've worked with multiple local organizations in my community. I've also worked with other topics such as astronomy and English. 📱 DM me on Schoolhouse or SHW's Slack @prakruti s if you have any questions, concerns, or comments regarding classes (session requests are always open!) or want to get to know me better :D.

Hello! I’m a rising high school senior here to improve in whatever is needed, and learn whatever I can! In my free time, I enjoy reading books, drawing, making ceramics, cooking, and tutoring people here at Schoolhouse and at my school in various subjects. Please feel free to reach out for any help! :)

Hey there! I'm Joe, a college freshman with a strong passion for math, computer science, and education. I have been homeschooled all the way through high school and currently reside in Oregon, USA. I'm glad to be a part of this wonderful community! I'm here to learn what I don't know and teach what I do know! I can tutor in any math topic ranging from pre-algebra to calculus, with a particular enthusiasm for geometry and trigonometry. I scored 790 on the Math section of the SAT, so I'm equipped to help with SAT Math prep as well. In addition to being a tutor here at Schoolhouse, I serve as a Geometry Subworld Moderator and a Tutor Coach. I was previously an SAT Bootcamp Guide and a member of the Welcoming Team. For fun I enjoy computer programming, keeping up with tech innovations, playing chess, solving Rubik's Cubes, stargazing with my refractor telescope, playing pickleball, and hiking the scenic trails of Oregon. I look forward to working with you!

👋 Hi, fellow scholars! I am an 8th grader who enjoys STEM-related subjects, debate, and all types of music! 📚 Since 6th grade, I have received an A*s for all subjects along with a Directors Honor Roll every semester. This year, I've taken up the responsibility of being my school's debate team captain and placing top 0.8% of my county. I'm also preparing for the PSAT and SAT which I hope to take as a sophomore in high school. 🌐 At Schoolhouse, I am an English Subworld Newsletter Writer, SHW Tutor Community Agent, UNDP (United Nations Development Programme) Chairperson, and intermediate peer reviewer. 🌟 100+ positive reviews and "super helpful"s! 🌿 I hope to grow stronger in my educational journey with you all and help others along the way! 📱 DM me on Schoolhouse or SHW's Slack @jocelyn if you have any questions, concerns, or comments regarding classes (session requests are always open!) ✌️ INFJ / Virgo / NiFeTiSe

Hi! I'm a high school student with a passion for education. When I'm not blasting Harry Styles or Phoebe Bridgers, you can find me reading poetry, baking, or crocheting. I’m currently taking a variety of AP classes, and I'm also a coach, subworld moderator, and user support volunteer here at Schoolhouse—if you have any questions or want to review topics together, feel free to reach out! I’d love to help.
