About

Get a head start on AP Precalculus with someone who's been through it! I scored a 4 on the AP exam and designed this summer series to help you feel confident and prepared going into the school year. We'll explore core topics like polynomial and rational functions, exponential and logarithmic models, and trigonometry. Sessions will focus on clear explanations, AP-style practice, and plenty of chances to ask questions and build problem-solving skills.

Hi! I'm Kaavya, a dedicated STEM learner and tutor who loves helping others succeed in math and science. I’ve led over 45 sessions on Schoolhouse.world, tutoring in subjects like Pre-Algebra, Algebra 2, Biology, and SAT Math. I focus on making challenging concepts more approachable and always aim to create a supportive, encouraging environment. Outside of tutoring, I’m involved in academic competitions, coding programs, healthcare training, and hospital volunteer work. I’ve also published a research article on AI in drug development and earned several honors recognizing my academic and community contributions. I believe learning is most powerful when it's shared—and I’m excited to help others build confidence and curiosity along the way.
