About the Tutor

Hi, I'm Agastya, a freshman from San Diego, I have experience teaching math to kids in my community, and I often help friends with homework and such. I am now certified in Pre-Algebra and intend on getting certified in Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Pre-Calculus (after I learn it), Calculus, and a variety of other subjects and categories. I'm proficient in higher order areas of math in high-school, have tons of experience in math and history. I am an all A student, and am competent in a variety of subjects. I am not that good in subjects like Spanish and English, but still fairly proficient in those areas of focus. By joining Schoolhouse, I am ready to upgrade myself. in subjects and tutoring, as well as bringing sucess to others as well!
