About your tutor
Hi! My name is Shivani, and I’m a junior at UCLA majoring in Psychobiology. I’ve been tutoring students ages 5–17 for several years, both one-on-one and in small group settings, across a variety of subjects—especially math, science, and writing. I’m passionate about making learning accessible and enjoyable, and I always strive to meet students where they’re at, whether they need help catching up, staying motivated, or getting ahead. My approach is supportive and student-centered. I focus not just on the material, but on helping students build confidence, develop effective study habits, and strengthen critical thinking skills. I know that every learner is different, so I tailor my sessions to suit each student’s needs and learning style. From breaking down tough concepts to preparing for exams and managing school stress, I’m here to help students reach their full potential. In addition to tutoring, I’m involved in research at UCLA and have experience mentoring students interested in STEM and pre-med pathways. Whether your goal is to improve grades, prepare for standardized tests, or simply feel more confident in class, I’d love to support you on your academic journey!

Teaching methodology
My teaching approach is grounded in personalization, active engagement, and long-term skill-building. I tailor every session to each student’s learning style and pace, using techniques that resonate with visual, auditory, or kinesthetic learners. I believe in active learning—guiding students through concepts using questions, real-world examples, and step-by-step problem solving. This helps ensure they’re not just memorizing answers, but actually understanding the material and how to apply it. I also focus on building academic habits like time management, organization, and test-taking strategies that support success beyond our sessions. Additionally, I incorporate skill-building into every session, helping students strengthen their study habits, time management, organization, and test-taking strategies. My ultimate goal is to guide students toward becoming independent, confident learners who feel equipped to handle academic challenges both in and out of the classroom.
