About Pallavi

I love working with kids of all ages to help them reach their academic goals. As a college student, I know how intimidating essay writing and literary proficiency can be once kids reach high school, and this experience makes me a) relate to my students more and b) understand exactly what their teachers are looking for. In high school, I was awarded the Excellence in English award two consecutive years in a row (2018 and 2019), and am a straight A student at the University of California, Santa Cruz.

My ultimate goal is to make a difference, and the best part about being a tutor is seeing how the work that was put in by the student paid off. I am a student too, and I know the joy of getting a good grade on a paper or test (especially if I've worked super hard on it). Seeing my students succeed is the best part about this job.

About the lesson

First, I ask them what type of learner they are: visual, auditory, reading/writing, kinesthetic, or a combination of these. This is so important, as once I establish how they learn, I can create a lesson that is right for them. I also like to establish a bit of rapport between myself and the student, so I don't seem as intimidating to them.

Another part of my typical process is asking where they excell and struggle in school. Students who excell in Math and Science tend to need more help in English, and vice versa. I also ask them what areas they need help with the most, whether it's grammar and punctuation, or writing a thesis that is clear and concise.

I've worked with students of all age groups, but I have primarily worked with elementary school and middle school children. No matter what their level is, I am ready to help them with whatever they - or their parents - think they need help on!

I would say - find someone you can relate to. As a student myself, I find that it is hard to talk to teachers and professors as they seem so "far away" and far superior to me. However, I've found that the professors and teachers who make the effort to interact with their students have the best success rates (and reviews)! It makes learning and asking questions less scary, and it gives me a chance to really bond with the student.
