Hi there, I'm Anisha! I'm a high school junior from the Bay Area. I have taken math all the way from pre-algebra through precalculus, and I have also taken AP Statistics. I also tutor Spanish levels 1-3, and can assist with computer science (Java and Python) as well. I love teaching and helping people learn, and I'm very excited to be your tutor!

Schedule

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

- Sessions will be held every Saturday, Sunday, and Wednesday at 1PM PST/4PM EST and last for one hour, with (non-mandatory although very useful) office hours sessions held at 4PM PST/7PM EST on Sundays.

- This series is intended to develop your Spanish language skills by starting with the basics and adding more concepts as the sessions continue, meaning that missing a session will set your progress back -- similarly, if your timezone means attending classes will be difficult for you this class may be tough, as class time is an important part of the course and self-study cannot fully make up for that loss. As such, our policy is that learners can and will be withdrawn from the series after missing more than 4-5 sessions.

- With that said, we are happy to make accommodations for those aware that they have long-term vacations/etc. if notified in advance.
