I came to the US at 9 years of age, when I started learning English language in school. I can identify with non-native English speakers, learning to become fluent in conversational English, while gras... ping the intricacies of Grammar. I had a difficult time starting out in elementary school, and it took a lot of hard work and some out-of-the-box thinking to grasp the language and pick up the conversational skills. I can empathize with the struggles of being bilingual and coming from a different cultural background. Having an expert level proficiency in Hindi and an intermediate level proficiency in Spanish, I can bridge the language barrier and ease the students’ transition to English. I have a master’s degree in teaching and have taught middle school and high school students. I am an ardent admirer of literature and arts and have always loved reading classic literature from across the globe (translated in English) and learning about the world history and culture. read more

Hi! I am Pranav. I call myself a New Yorker, as I grew up there, but I have been living in Maryland for the past decade. I have taught in schools in both New York and Maryland/Washington DC. I tutor E... nglish language and English literature. I have a master’s degree in teaching and have taught middle school and high school students. I can also teach Math and World Studies. I can help you with homework and provide alternate strategies for understanding difficult Math concepts. From taking a course on the history of linguistics, to learning Spanish in school (my proficiency is intermediate level), I have always loved languages, and I can understand the concept of sentence formation and language development in some European languages like German and French, although I cannot claim proficiency. I call this my forte in teaching English as I understand the root of languages and can build a bridge between two languages, which helps in coming up with strategies to make individualized teaching plans, especially for bilingual students. History and World studies is another favorite subject of mine. In my free time I love painting. I make abstract art with acrylic on canvas. I look forward to helping you in your learning process.read more
