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.

Schedule

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

Please do not miss more than one session over the four weeks, as that will negatively affect your learning and may also take up a spot from another learner who could have attended every session.

If you reach two unexcused absences, your tutor may remove you from this series.

Note from Schoolhouse: This series has sessions with required attendance. If you need to miss a required session, submit an absence using the "Submit Excused Absence" button on the series page. Multiple unexcused absences may lead to a suspension of your Schoolhouse account.
