About

Hi, my name is Vardhan and I am currently a Pre-medical student in college. I have been a high achieving student all along from earning 100% scholarship to winning many medals in the Science Olympiad competitions. Tutoring has been my way of giving back to the student community by helping students that need extra help from a student perspective. I have the experience of tutoring a broad range of subjects from AP level Math and Science subjects to prepping for SAT/ACT exams. I have also the experience of tutoring kids with learning difficulties like ADHD and Dyslexia who need more personalized support to overcome their obstacles and reach their full potential.

This four-week tutoring series will help you prepare for your upcoming SAT in both Reading and Writing & Language. By the end of the series, you will have completed multiple practice tests and worked through a number of problems from previous SATs, helping you build confidence for your upcoming exam. You’ll spend each session with me and a small group of other learners who are also working towards taking the SAT. Since it’s a small group, you can expect sessions to be very interactive as you work together towards improving your SAT skills as much as you can! Note: Cameras should be on so we can all get to know each other! If you have a specific reason why you can’t have your camera on, please notify me ahead of time.
