About the Tutors

Hi! My name is Dana. I am a rising senior, with a passion for biology and technology! I live in Washington, USA. Currently, I am dual-enrolled and I am taking a computer programming (Python) course at my local college, while studying for the DSAT. In my free time, I enjoy listening to music, playing chess, and hanging out with my family. I got all 4 credits on the Spanish STAMP test, with the highest score in reading. This means that I qualify for the Seal of Biliteracy, and I also don't have to take an extra language in HS. If you have any questions regarding the STAMP test or the Spanish language, I will try my best to answer your questions. In addition to tutoring here at Schoolhouse, I am also a part of my school's leadership committee, and am currently working on improving my school's quality. I deeply care about helping others learn, and hope to meet you at one of my tutoring sessions!

Hi! I am Aditya, a high school student in Illinois. I like tutoring and learning STEM here at schoolhouse, because that is what I am most passionate about. I have always found learning and helping others learn to be very satisfying, especially those "aha moments". Joining the SHW community as a tutor has very fun experience so far. I hope to see you you guys in my future sessions! :)
