Hello! I’m Rithwik and I’m a senior at Lebanon Trail High School. My favorite part about tutoring is that I can gift students crucial bits of connecting information about certain topics that took me a decent amount of time to understand (read: which direction is gravity). Outside of tutoring, I enjoy chess and cricket.

Hello! I’m Alex Huang and I’m a senior at Eagan High School. My favorite part about tutoring is being the catalyst for growth in a student’s academic life, whether it’s improving a test score or improving grades. I know that it took me a while to get where I am, and I love to see other students progress similarly. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy watching basketball and football, reading about philosophy, and staying up on politics/current events. My favorite TV show is Succession and my favorite movie is The Departed.
