Hi, I’m Suraj Swaminathan.

I studied Neurobiology at UCSD and have 4+ years of private tutoring plus 2 years at Mathnasium. My style is patient, structured, and results-driven. I focus on building real understanding first, then speed and test performance.

Based in San Diego (PT)
Sessions on Zoom with an interactive whiteboard.

What I Help With

I cover a wide range of subjects, from foundational math to advanced college-level sciences.

Math for All Levels

From elementary fundamentals through high school Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, and Calculus AB/BC — plus College Algebra and Intro Calculus.

Science Across the Board

Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Organic Chemistry for high school and all undergraduate levels.

Test Prep

SAT/ACT Math diagnostics, timing strategies, and targeted drills.

How It Works

A simple, structured approach to build understanding and confidence.

01

Free 15-min parent consult

We talk goals, timelines, and what’s not working yet. I’ll preview a couple of sample problems to pinpoint gaps.

02

First 60-min session (mini-diagnostic)

We map strengths, identify weak spots, and agree on a short plan with priorities for the next 2–3 weeks.

03

Weekly 1:1 sessions

Live problem-solving, clear explanations, and spaced practice. You’ll know why steps work, not just the steps.

04

Quick parent update after each session

2–3 sentences on wins, focus for next time, and any homework.
