About the Tutor

Hello! I'm a high schooler, and I'm super passionate about learning and teaching Math, Science, History, Geography, Tamil, Sanskrit, and Public Speaking. I've already tackled Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, and Geometry. I'm a fluent Tamil speaker but feel free to ask me any questions in Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, English, or Malayalam. If you're curious about any of the stuff I mentioned, reach out to me, and I'll do my best to help you out!
