Kavana G.
Private tutor in Berkeley, CA
Education
2016 Graduate with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Rice University
Experience
PSAT score: 240/240 SAT Score: 2300/2400 I can tutor in all subjects K-12, including most APs. I am also an excellent PSAT/SAT coach. Along with tutoring, I also offer essay writing and editing services. Pay rate is negotiable. I have 8 years of tutoring experience with K-12 students combined with a lifelong passion for teaching and education. I have been an academic tutor and mentor for elementary, middle, and high school students since I started high school. I continued to teach throughout my 4 years at university, mostly through a volunteer program called PAIR (Partnership for the Advancement and Immersion of Refugees) and also private tutoring sessions. I have had a wide range of teaching experiences, from directing a classroom of children and volunteer teachers to writing and presenting my own lesson plans to working one-on-one with students with varying learning abilities and language capabilities. I was accepted into Teach for America's 2016 corps but decided to explore the engineering industry after graduation instead. However, I plan to continue being a tutor and mentor for the rest of my life because teaching is one of my biggest passions and greatest skills.

Hobbies
As a mechanical engineer, I am interested in design engineering focused on human factors and sustainability. I was recently in Norway and Sweden with my capstone design engineering team, and we had the incredible opportunity to present and install our design project at Chalmers University in Gothenburg, Sweden. I am an adventurous traveler, an avid reader, and an amateur hiker. I am passionate about design, volunteer/service work, global travel, teaching, and desserts. I enjoy team sports (mainly rugby) and badminton. I like to thrift, hoard postcards, and come up with recipes based on sriracha sauce.
