I Get Test Anxiety.

‍I struggled with the SAT in high school.
Despite hours of tutoring, I had anxiety attacks during the test.

That experience shaped how I tutor.

Tests aren’t life-or-death—they’re systems.
Once you understand the system, tests become manageable.

I never want my students to feel overwhelmed or defeated.

Reviews

“You were very fun, but also super chill. I felt no pressure answering questions, because I knew you always were there to help me. I had lots of laughs but at the same time we were very efficient. And what stood out the most is probably how clear and in depth you were in your explanations.”

— Conor, student

“I think you are really good at explaining strategies while taking the exam because even if I didn’t understand a concept, I could fall back on strategies.”

— Nicholas, student

“Kalpita has helped me improve my application essay to summer research programs. She corrected my grammar and guided me to think about how to best showcase my abilities. She is amazing, and I enjoyed working with her.”

— Isabel, student

“You made him focus on one thing at a time. I was impressed with the way you were able to get [him] calm and focused. You take the time with your student to help them find what works for them . Your interaction with both the parent and student was incredible, comforting. I loved the fact that you would always check in with him to see how he was doing. You truly helped his confidence.”

— Lisa, parent

“Fun and energetic, but you were also very straight forward about things. There were sometimes when you just said that there are gonna be super hard questions that you gotta get through. And I think that that truth and honesty really helped me.”

— Conor, student

“You hold me accountable while also being someone I can be myself around, which makes me eager to learn more and improve.”

— Elizabeth, student

“Kalpita was an exceptional tutor and a pleasure to work with. She was invaluable in helping me revise numerous essays across courses and subjects. Kalpita paid careful attention to details and worked to ensure that every sentence served a purpose. Her pointed questions and subsequent revisions invigorated my papers. I always left our meetings with a sense of accomplishment and clear steps for what to do next.”

— Robert, student
