I was recently faced with the daunting task of taking the Officer Aptitude Rating (OAR) exam in order to be considered for Officer Candidate School in the US Navy. As a UC student in Global Studies and Anthropology, I had taken practically no math or science classes since high school. I had only three months to prepare. I needed to find a tutor who could help me get a passing grade on an exam that could literally change my life. I was very fortunate to to find Geetha on the WyzAnt website. It was immediately evident that she was an experienced teacher. Geetha set up a plan to bring me up to speed in math (fractions, percentages, word problems) including algebra and geometry, as well as physics (e.g. fulcrums, pressure, mechanical comprehension equations and some electronics.) She also spent a great deal of time working with me on reading comprehension. I became proficient and confident in all of these areas and indeed passed my exam. I was told that few candidates pass it on the first try, and I feel that Geetha is largely responsible for my success. I found her to have an impressive knowledge of math, science and English, and to be very patient and thorough in getting the information across. She was excellent at starting at the beginning and explaining the basics before going into more depth on a certain subject. I felt Geetha had a good strategy for success by giving helpful homework assignments to reinforce her lessons, and by not moving forward until she was 100% certain that I had grasped the material. She was also very flexible to fit her lessons in around my busy work schedule. Geetha is gentle and kind and was able to relate to me as a person, not just a student. She was warm and supportive and made me feel that she was vested in my personal success. I am happy to recommend Geetha as a talented teacher and a caring mentor.

Geetha is everything you want in a tutor: knowledgeable, patient, organized, and explains concepts well. Above all, Geetha cares deeply about the student, so she will do all that she can to help her or him learn the material and achieve her/his goal. We are grateful to have found such a capable, mature, and thoughtful tutor.
Dyana P. from San Diego, CA
Geetha was patient and flexible. She was very helpful in preparing for the science portion of the TEAS. Geetha helped get me to a 92 on the exam.
Amanda W. from Jamul, CA
Geetha is a great tutor. She was very patient and explained everything in detail. She responds promptly to e-mails. My son is in 10th grade and needed help with Geometry. I would recommend Geetha.
M T. from San Diego, CA
The very best. She deserves more than 5 stars. Best attitude plus quality job and on time delivery! The best person I have ever worked with, one word and promise keeper, on time and perfect answers and am glad to work with her more and more. Simply outstanding expert!
Chris T. from San Diego, CA
I think that Geetha is very nice and knowledgeable in her field and has great potential to pass this on to the student.
Erica M. from San Diego, CA
I worked with Geetha on prepping for a chemistry class. She is very patient and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend her for any science classes you are having trouble with!
Monica O. from San Diego, CA
Geetha has helped me greatly in understanding Microbiology. Since working with Geetha my grades have improved in my college Microbiology class! I would definitely recommend Geetha!
Alice L. from San Diego, CA
I went to Geetha to get help with the ACT practice and she was very knowledgeable. I definitely recommend her if you need tutoring in any math or science subjects.
Conrad A. from San Diego, CA
My son has been taking tutoring over the summer and does look forward to the tutoring session. Geetha takes time to go over the material and covers most of the assignments and practice questions. At the end of the session my son is confident and can do the homework him self. He is now able to prepare for the tutoring session and only has to rely on the tutor for the more difficult material that he does not understand. Geetha does take time to build a good foundation, so later on the more complex material is easier to understand.
Alyson Y. from San Diego, CA
Thank you, Geetha, for your patience and knowledge of the subject matter. My course is a subject that I have had no previous schooling in and since I am an auditory learner, your tutoring skills have made it very easy for me to learn the course material. If you are having difficulties in understanding your course subject, please contact Geetha to help you cross over to the 'now I understand' side of your studies.
Meghann O. from San Diego, CA
Geetha helped my son understand the basics of Algebra, she was very rigorous and available at short notice. She followed up with me and my son to see how he performed on his exam and tailored the sessions to his needs.
Hayman M. from San Diego, CA
I had had on session with Geetha. S, I found her very passionate and insightful. I was satisfied with her behavior and efficient style of teaching.
Joann H. from San Diego, CA
Geetha S. is very knowledgeable and a very comprehensive and thorough teacher. She was able to explain concepts to me that I was unable to grasp before (from lecture notes and my book). She thoroughly explains things and makes the subject matter easier to understand. Wonderful teacher. I would highly recommend Geetha.
Michelle S. from Poway, CA
I like that Geetha incorporates good examples with her science tutoring, it really helps me to remember and understand the concepts we are working with. Awesome tutor!
Kara S. from Poway, CA
My experience with Geetha went well, she has a lot of passion for teaching biological sciences. Unfortunately we did not have enough time to go over everything due to lack of time. I thought she was a very nice person all around. Although, she is very busy I wish she had more free time. Tutors should have an open schedule if they are trying to be a tutor! But I envy her strive for success and constant drive for learning. Regardless of the time she is an excellent tutor and can explain things in their entirety.
Arasu S. from San Diego, CA
Geetha is a very good teacher. My daughter loves to go to math tuition. Geetha is very clear in what she is teaching and she conducts quick final review quiz at the end of the tuition hour. We are really happy that we found a good math tutor for our daughter.
Charnae S. from Escondido, CA
My daughter left her first session with an eagerness and hope that she may now be interested in pursuing a career in a medical field. She is excited that she understands her AP biology course clearer.
Rachel S. from San Diego, CA
I love how Ms. Geetha is organized. She had an introduction, and a method to help my brother prepare for the his ASVAB exam. My brother really liked her. If you're looking for a tutor, Ms. Geetha is the person to go to!
