Hi, I'm Neja. I am here to help you with Math — whether it's understanding a challenging concept, preparing for an exam, or working through homework problems. I've helped many students prepare for the SAT Math section. I also host workshops on the college admissions process, drawing from my own recent experience. I love learning about Math and Science, and I enjoy helping others learn these subjects as well.
