She is very Interactive and patient with the tutees, she explains the reasoning better than most teachers do, which greatly benefits students having a hard time. I am glad she was here to help me grasp the content of the SAT writing portion, especially on how to properly use grammar for specific cases! Thank you so much!

Nilaja was very helpful and provided in-depth explanations to changes I could be making. She is very attentive, kind, and welcoming. Nilaja is very sweet and makes the room and environment for mistakes to be made. She’s also very interested in how you feel about your work and other struggles you may be having. An amazing tutor overall!

Thank you for the session! I always appreciate how friendly and calm these sessions are, so learning doesn't feel intimidating at all, but much more approachable than before.

You did a great job explaining the answers to questions the learners needed help with. Your explanations were very clear and through. I liked that in addition to telling them why the correct answer was right, you also told them why the wrong answers were wrong. You also helped them understand how to approach problems like these ones on the real test well. For example, I liked that you mentioned that you don't have to understand every word on the test to get questions right so understanding the vibe or feeling of the passage or sentence as a whole is very beneficial. You did this with the precedent/procedures question. You explained grammar rules well, telling them that a period is equivalent to a semicolon and other helpful things. I could tell that you understood what you were saying and did a great job conveying that information.

LOVED THIS SERIES! Thank you so much for everything you've taught us. You are by far the BEST tutor I have come across on this platform; you're well-versed in what you're teaching and a super fun person, which helps keep me engaged! I've improved immensely in the EBRW section since joining your series and I wish you the best. Thank you!

I love the approach to reading passages that you're teaching! I feel like it's definitely helped me improved my comprehension and I see the change when I'm practicing on my own on Khan Academy. Thanks for all of the incredible tips and explanations you're providing during the session and for being super interactive!

ABSOLUTELY LOVE HER!!!! would go back for sure and would recommend to everyone :)))

Learner · 1 yr. ago

Really great explanations and insights! There's a really chill vibe in the sessions, which makes learning a lot more enjoyable.

Learner · 1 yr. ago

It was a really great session. She was very helpful during the session and she seemed like a wizard in comprehending passages.

Learner · 1 yr. ago

Amazing explanations while doing live review of reading passages, really helped me increase my understanding and realize the in's-and-out's of questions that I will definitely apply in the future. Thank you!

Learner · 1 yr. ago

Good explanations on why the incorrect answer choices are incorrect. I like how you use examples to make it clear. (such as saying trendy is more a positive connotations rather than negative and more people use it for like "trendy fashion" than art)

Learner · 1 yr. ago

Very approachable and well-spoken.

Learner · 1 yr. ago

She has great explanations and went over practice questions with us which were really helpful. She even told us rules and extra grammar vocabulary; although some words she used were a bit complicated they were a good way to explain the passages.

Learner · 1 yr. ago

Thank you for the session! I enjoyed going through everything swiftly, but with enough time to ask questions (which I didn't have to do much of, due to Nilaja explaining things in a way where you are able to understand quickly).

Learner · 1 yr. ago

I liked how she made it seems so chill and did not make it feel like a classroom. I was more at ease and was able to interact more than I usually would. he explained things well and when I didn't understand something she would go back to explain it and was very patient and helpful😊

Learner · 1 yr. ago

She was very kind and fun! I immediately loved her vibe the minute I entered the class. Not only did she explain everything very clearly, but she was also extremely fun to talk to. I feel more confident for the SAT's and I will 100% go to more of her sessions.

Learner · 1 yr. ago

This last session was amazing and I know I love a tutor when I am actually a bit sad that the series has ended. I appreciate everything you've helped with and your explanations after each question on why each response would not have been accurate. It always helps going through each question together.

Learner · 1 yr. ago

This session was probably the most comfortable I've seen learners be. They were talking to you about their feelings about the SAT and school in general. You referred to all of them by name and showed them respect and also friendship. Especially since this was the last session in this series, I thought it was a great decision to go off-topic a bit and contribute to the conversation your learners were having in the chat. It was great that you felt comfortable enough to share the things that you have trouble with and even better that your learners did too. Overall, great job with this session :)

I believe that your class will be among the most exceptional English sessions I will ever attend, mainly because I appreciate your teaching style, which aligns with my preferred method. The pace of the lessons was perfectly suited to my learning style, and I found them engaging and enjoyable. I was particularly fond of how you organized the lessons, enabling us to identify our strengths and weaknesses. Your explanations were clear and articulate, and I appreciated your approachability during the sessions. You introduced me to several strategies for analyzing passages, which I found useful. However, I do wish we could have more frequent meetings to further enhance my learning experience.

Learner · 1 yr. ago

Thanks for the session! We went through some tough ones, but as usual, you always know how to explain difficult questions for us!

Learner · 1 yr. ago

Nilaja is the best tutor I've ever had! She explains really well and the classroom atmosphere is DA BEST! Everyone were having a conversation like they are a friend group that came together to study ;) Thank you very much, Nilaja!

I just wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the exceptional tutoring experience I have had with you at Schoolhouse. Your lessons have been truly amazing and I feel incredibly fortunate to have had you as my tutor. One of the things that stands out the most to me is your interactive approach to teaching. Your ability to engage the students and make the material both interesting and fun has made a huge impact on my understanding and enjoyment of the subject. Your enthusiasm and passion for teaching is contagious and has made me look forward to each and every lesson. In addition, your knowledge and expertise in the subject matter is truly impressive. I feel that you have gone above and beyond in helping me grasp the concepts and I am confident that I will be able to apply this newfound knowledge in my future studies and career. I can say without hesitation that you are one of the best, if not the best, tutors I have ever had. Your commitment to your students' success is truly inspiring and I cannot thank you enough for everything you have done for me. I wish you all the best and I hope our paths cross again in the future. If you see this, I would love to get a response from you as well! :)

The series was amazing overall, I was learning with the great explanations Nilaja gave us and also enjoying the sessions at the same time. The atmosphere was chill and made me feel very comfortable. I have gained so much from these sessions and will certainly apply them in the coming March SAT. Thank you so much!

Learner · 1 yr. ago

Absolutely amazing session, I really learned a lot because of your terrific explanations. The atmosphere was also chill and very interactive as everyone was involved, thank you so much!

She was so amazing! I learned so many new and helpful tips from her and hope to join one of her classes soon!

Learner · 1 yr. ago

This session was awesome! I learned a lot of amaziing things regarding SAT literary passages, and I now feel more confident on those types of passages!

Learner · 1 yr. ago

Thank you for hosting this session. I like how interactive it was and enjoy following along with others reading and answering questions. It made SAT reading and grammar section much more interesting. I will definitely return to your sessions.

Learner · 1 yr. ago

Thank you for the great session. Your personality really came out through your explanations and made it far more engaging. You are awesome!

Learner · 1 yr. ago

I enjoyed your energy and how you displayed knowledge on the subject. It was very helpful for me because those punctuation rules have always been something that I struggled with. The examples were very helpful going through the practice test. Thanks, Maddy W
