Hi! I’m Ananya, and I’m here to study for the SAT and also help others through tutoring. I’ve always loved teaching—it makes me happy to explain things in simple ways and see others improve. I’m also interested in dancing, video editing, and creative projects. I joined Schoolhouse because I want to gain experience, get support with my own learning, and give back by helping others too!
