Muskaan T.

Hi, I’m Muskaan, a graduate student in Bioengineering at Rice University with a strong interdisciplinary foundation in bioinformatics, biology, chemistry, and mathematics. With over five years of tutoring experience, I’ve had the opportunity to guide high school, undergraduate, and graduate students through subjects such as organic chemistry, biology, genetics, calculus, biostatistics etc. My teaching philosophy centers on turning complex topics into clear, engaging lessons that connect theory to real-world applications. Beyond tutoring, my professional experience spans both academic research and clinical practice from analyzing genetic risk factors for cardiovascular disease as a Graduate Researcher at UTHealth Houston, to assisting with pain management and pediatric clinics. These experiences have strengthened my ability to bridge scientific knowledge with practical understanding, which I strive to bring into every session. I’m passionate about helping students not only master challenging material but also build lasting confidence, curiosity, and a genuine appreciation for learning.

Josh C.

Josh earned his Master’s in Science Education from Rutgers, where he also studied Physics with minors in Math and Education. Since 2010, he has been helping students through private tutoring, Rutgers programs, and various companies—spending nearly 10,000 hours working one-on-one with learners of all levels.

What Josh loves most about teaching is making tough subjects like Physics and Math feel less intimidating. He focuses on helping students really understand the concepts behind the equations, not just memorize steps. Connecting abstract equations to real-world examples is of paramount importance when making things click, and whenever possible, Josh has students explain the material back to him—it’s a great way to build confidence and deepen understanding. Seeing that growth in students is Josh teaches, and he would be excited to help you get there as well.

In his free time, Josh likes to annoy his cat and play strategy games of various types to keep his mind sharp. Eventually, his cat decides they need attention, and then Josh gets to have the extra difficulty of playing while maneuvering around a cat between his face and the screen. It’s a good life.

Joshua T.

Josh grew up in the suburbs of Texas and his favorite subject has always been math. Whether it be helping his peers in class or professionally, he has been tutoring others in math since the fourth grade! He attended Texas State University and graduated in 2015 with a B.S. in Physics and a minor in Mathematics. During his time at Texas State, he was acknowledged by the Physics department as the outstanding undergraduate instructor of the year and even led the groups of other student instructors for his lab sections. He also participated in a state of the art program that focuses on the learning process of mathematical concepts, and here is where he really developed and honed his skill for teaching math. He received perfect scores on every exit level test from highschool, a perfect 800 on the SAT Math, and a perfect 36 on the ACT Math. He approaches every student with compassion, and possesses a unique skill of diagnosing the foundational gaps in learning to help students maximize their potential. Not only is he in the top 1% of test scores, but his love for math and helping others learn puts him in the top 1% of educators as well.

Keyvon J.

Born and raised in Baton Rouge, Keyvon has a deep understanding of the realities of learning in the capital city. He attended Liberty Magnet High School where he graduated with honors and earned a full-ride scholarship to Vanderbilt University through the QuestBridge national college match program. Having majored in political science, Keyvon loves to read, write, and learn about the complexities of living in civilized society.

From a young age, Keyvon has enjoyed helping others to process and understand the lessons taught in class. He has developed this passion by becoming a substitute teacher in the East Baton Rouge Parish Public School System, where he has worked for two years. Substituting at the elementary, middle, and high school levels, Keyvon has developed a greater understanding of the learning experience from an educator’s perspective—recognizing the challenges of effective learning in a classroom setting and the need for one-on-one instruction. He has pursued a position with Prep Academy Tutors as a means of providing more individualized learning in a smaller setting. His greatest sense of gratification comes from the ‘ah-ha’ moment students experience when they understand the material being presented to them. With the rise of AI programs such as ChatGPT, Keyvon believes it to be exceptionally imperative that students are able to perform certain tasks (such as reading, writing, and computing) on their own, and is passionate about getting students to a level where they do not have to rely on such programs to do the work for them.

When he is not teaching or learning something new himself, he enjoys the arts—visual or performative, he loves to see the creativity of others as well as his own. He encourages students to bring their creativity to the table, including it in their educational pursuits to further develop their unique identity/voice.
