Meenakshi
Experienced teacher, who makes learning a pleasure.

I believe communication between a teacher and student builds trust and respect between the two. I will then try and iron out the knowledge gaps the student has in very simple language with patience. I will listen to the students so that I can better understand the st... Read more

Despite working with mostly college students I have had a great relationship with many middle and high school students.
