Shiv

 

Hi! My name is Shiv, and I am an undergraduate student at Princeton University majoring in molecular biology. I have been tutoring and teaching for many years. I tutored throughout middle school, high school, and college. In high school, I was President of the Peer Tutoring Club, where we designed an algorithm to help match students with tutors on a need basis. I love tutoring because I know that every student learns differently, and that one method of teaching might not work for everyone. I want to be able to make a difference in students’ lives, show them that learning doesn’t necessarily have to be difficult, and help them identify the methods in which they learn the best.

Apart from tutoring, my main hobbies are music and sports. I am an avid New York sports fan (Giants, Yankees, Knicks, Rangers) and have been playing the trumpet and guitar for as long as I can remember. I love traveling, learning new things, and spending time with friends & family. After Princeton, I hope to go on to medical school and become an orthopedic surgeon with a focus on sports medicine.
