About the Tutors

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!

I'm a high school freshman who has a bit of a head start, having completed NC Math 1 and 2 while in middle school. That means I only have about 2½ of high school left before I graduate. I'm excited to continue my academic journey and explore all the opportunities high school has to offer. In my free time, I enjoy astrology and origami. I'm looking forward to making the most of my high school experience while helping other peers.

Hello! My name is Dhruv G., and I’m from Texas. I have a strong passion for mathematics, debate, and robotics, which I explore through various activities and competitions. Currently, I am in middle school, where I have had the opportunity to participate in numerous academic tournaments. I have significant experience in speech and debate, actively participating in the National Speech & Debate Association (NSDA). In addition to debate, I am also a member of my school's VEX Robotics team. From this, I have experience in coding, building, and designing. I also love to program. I have made many websites for many of my friends. I specialize in Web Development and I know Python. Right now, I am certified in Pre-Algebra. I am working towards Algebra 1, Geometry, Enrichment and Computer Science.

Hi! My name is Ananya, also spelled Aananya, and I'm a sophomore in high school in the 24-25 school year. I have a lot of hobbies including track and field, reading, environmental activism, debate, coding, STEM competitions, and my mysterious favorite (robotics). I love classic books (they're practically all I read). My favorite is An Old Fashioned Girl. I'm involved in a lot of organizations. One of the ones I'm most active in is a leadership 4-h program for teens. We work on a lot of capstone projects to help our community. I've gotten a world record related to them. We partnered with one of our sponsor companies to have the world's longest envirothon. That leads us into my next hobby, debate. I've been debating for 2 years as of 2024 summer, and I love it. And then there's robotics. I spend a lot of time on that. I'm very involved in my team. I love volunteering.
