Hey! I'm a senior this year and I’m super excited to meet new students and help them be successful academically. I’m very passionate about Math, English, and Computer Science; I am particularly confident with Algebra, AP Stats, precalc, calculus (AB and BC), JAVA, Python, and essay writing (APULL!). I also tutor and babysit younger students on a regular basis so I really enjoy working with other students. I spent my summer organizing Camp Venom (a Free Python Coding Camp for elementary and middle school kids), so I have a lot of experience recruiting/working directly with people of various ages. Running this camp showed me how fulfilling and inspiring it feels to help others enjoy and feel confident in what they are learning. This is what I hope to find in this wonderful tutoring opportunity as well. Hence, I am really looking forward to learning myself while helping other students grow through this tutoring role!

Hello! My name is Anabelle and I’m a junior at Edina High School. This is my first year as a peer tutor and I couldn’t be more excited. I’d say I’m best at revising essays, but I am fairly comfortable tutoring in math as well (mostly geometry and algebra). I’m also a strong French speaker because I’ve been learning it since kindergarten, so I’d happily help anyone with their french homework. Outside of school, I enjoy drawing and doing other artistic activities. I look forward to meeting and helping out people this year :D

I am a junior this year. I am strongest in math, more specifically pre-algebra, algebra, and calculus (mostly just derivatives and integrals though). I am looking forward to helping others with any problems they may face during this school year, and helping with their enrichment. I really like to read, hike, and spend time with my golden lab, Simba. My favorite memory from my math class, was a discussion on whether waffles were technically considered sandwiches.

Hi!! My name is Francesca Elia, and I’m a senior. My strength is math of all levels (from algebra all the way up through calculus). I’m so excited to be able to combine my passions for mathematics and helping others this year! I absolutely love the feeling of knowing I helped someone grow more confident in their skills, and leaving students with knowledge that will inevitably serve as building blocks for all future high school math courses. I’m super flexible in my teaching style so I will adapt to whatever level of understanding a student may or may not have- there are no dumb questions! Outside of school, I am a drum major for the band, work at Dairy Queen, and spend my free time hanging out with friends and my Golden Retriever, Romeo.

Hello! My name is Mark Gherghetta and I am currently a senior at EHS this year. This is my first time tutoring and I am excited to get to know you all!

I’m strong in math as well: everything from geometry, algebra, to calculus, linear algebra (transformations, vector spaces, matrices). Meeting new people and helping out are my favorite things about tutoring. I’m patient and can adapt to different student needs. I’m excited for the girls tennis season and my Human Anatomy class. Looking forward to a great year!

Hello! I’m Shriya and a Senior at EHS.

My strongest subjects are Pre-algebra, Algebra, and Pre-Calculus. Since every student learns differently, I am flexible with my methods of teaching/ helping. A fun fact about me is that this past summer (2021), I helped my friend organize a Free Python Coding Camp for kids. It was challenging yet a fun experience and a great leadership opportunity. My passion is Psychology and Biology as well as learning to provide help, support, and care to those who need it the most. So, becoming a peer tutor gives me the opportunity to support, help, and guide students with academic challenges. I am very excited to provide help to those struggling with either Math or a little bit of Writing! Looking forward to a wonderful year!

Hi, my name is Harper and I am a senior this year! I like to learn about how things work, so some of my favorite parts of classes are the cell units in science, and equations in math classes. One thing I am excited for this year in tutoring is helping people! I love when the understanding for someone finally clicks, and I can’t wait to help students with that this year! Some things that I am passionate about are my pets, my friends, and my nephews!
