Payal

I am a dedicated math tutor with over 10 years of experience helping students in grades 1–10 strengthen their skills in Arithmetic, Pre-Algebra, and early Algebra. I focus on building confidence, reducing math anxiety, and teaching problem-solving strategies that actually make sense to kids.

Tutoring Style

My tutoring style blends patience, clear explanation, and positive motivation. I tailor each session to the student’s level, adjusting quickly if they need more review or are ready for a challenge. I make sure students fully grasp a concept by practicing it in different ways until it feels natural. My goal is to help students feel capable, confident, and even excited about math.

Success Story

I’ve supported many students who began tutoring feeling overwhelmed and convinced they “just weren’t math people.” With clear explanations and a supportive approach, I watched their confidence grow as the material started to make sense. Over time, several of these students went from failing quizzes to consistently passing and even excelling. Hearing them say, “I get it when you explain it,” is one of my proudest tutoring moments.

Math:

When I first began working with R, they didn’t lack intelligence — they lacked confidence. Math tests made them anxious, and even when they knew the material, they would second-guess themselves and freeze under pressure.

We focused not just on solving problems, but on learning how to take the test. I taught R how to identify key words, recognize patterns, and eliminate wrong answers so they didn’t feel like every question had to be solved from scratch.

As their strategy improved, so did their confidence. R became calmer, faster, and more sure of their choices — and their scores improved right along with their belief in their own abilities.
