Hi! I am Aakanksha, and I would love to help students succeed in their academic journeys! With over 3 years of experience, I have developed specific strategies to ensure that my students not only succeed academically but also gain confidence and a love for learning. Here's some info about me:

- I graduated with my Bachelor's in Chemical Engineering on a 100% Tuition Scholarship along with multiple other merit scholarships
- I had a 1500 SAT score, 35 ACT score, and 117 TOEFL score!
- I am a published researcher and have written several academic papers describing my engineering research
- I am co-founder of My Dream School and tutor students on SAT and ACT and provide assistance with college admission essays!
- I have interned in various Chemical and Process Engineering roles and would love to share my knowledge about applying learned concepts in the real world with students.

Apart from this, I enjoy singing (you can find me on Youtube), doing escape rooms, and playing strategy based board games!

I understand that different students have different learning styles, preferences, and goals, and I am committed to adapting my teaching methods to suit the needs of each student. I design customized lesson plans that focus on areas where my students need the most help.
So if you are looking for a tutor who understands that every student is different and is committed to providing individualized, need-based assistance, look no further. Together, we can work towards achieving your academic goals and unlocking your full potential!
