I have 15 years of experience with tutoring, teaching, and training. As a result, I am comfortable interacting with many audiences (including students from primary to university levels, parents, teachers and professors, and candidates for public office) on many subjects (such as math, critical reading, essay composition, data analysis, public policy, and political economy).

Menaka shows great patience with my fourth-grade daughter and has been very helpful to her as she works to keep pace in her accelerated math program. She is always available and is flexible in adjusting the time and date of a session, or adding a session, as needed.

Menaka is an excellent tutor, and I would recommend her to anyone. I needed help boosting my GRE math score and we worked together for two months, created an in depth plan, and met two times a week until my test. She found a convenient meeting place and was on time and was easily reachable. I increased my score by 6 points and enjoyed my time with Menaka. She is friendly, patient, and a creative teacher. Menaka took the time find different ways to explain math concepts that I didn't understand right away. She wasn't afraid to push me as hard as I needed to reach my GRE goals. We created a comprehensive study guide and used different study materials and tests to prepare. Menaka was dedicated to helping me reach my desired score. I am happy to now call Menaka a friend, and we continue to study together even after I took the test.

Menaka was a fantastic tutor for our daughter for SSAT and Math. She was clear in her explanations and had our daughter doing the work. She made the lesson fun and interesting. Excited for the next session. Thanks so much!

Menaka helped my daughter prepare for the ACT. My daughter struggles with math and this was their primary focus during the weekly sessions. With Menaka's tutoring assistance, she increased her math score by 7 points. (They did spend time on the other ACT subjects as appropriate) Menaka is very personable, cheerful and flexible. The relationship she forged with my daughter was wonderful and I truly appreciate every minute they spent together.

Menaka was very helpful with me. I needed help retaking a test and she helped me study and prepare for all the questions. We went over every question and she helped me out very much. Thanks Menaka!
