Hi! I'm Anika, a second-year Molecular and Cell Biology student at UC San Diego. I'm passionate about learning, and love to go down rabbit holes of information on niche topics. I've worked in several labs, conducting research in structural biochemistry and cell biology. Aside from the sciences, I also love the humanities. I love to read, and I am active in speech and debate on campus. In my free time I like to listen to music, go on hikes and to the beach, play volleyball with friends, and crochet.

I'm a passionate and dedicated educator with a strong academic background and a love for teaching. I specialize in Computer Science, Mathematics & Economics. I graduated from ACS Independent, achieving a perfect 45 Points in the IB Diploma exams, excelling in Higher Level Physics, Mathematics, and Economics. I also scored in the 99th percentile on the ACT, with a perfect score in ACT Writing. Currently, I am an undergraduate at Wesleyan University, studying Computer Engineering at Dartmouth College and Economics and Computer Science as a Freeman Asian Scholar.

My journey in education has been both rewarding and inspiring. I specialize in teaching Economics, Mathematics, and Theory of Knowledge (TOK) at the IGCSE and IB levels. Over the years, I've had the pleasure of teaching more than 30 students from various schools, including ACS Independent, ACS International, SOTA, SJI & SJI International, as well as students from countries like France, the US, Germany, and Ecuador. I believe in helping students grasp fundamental concepts rather than relying on rote memorization, and I structure my classes to facilitate deep understanding. Many of my students have seen significant improvements in their grades, often by at least 2 points.

In addition to teaching, I have gained valuable work experience in various roles, such as Product Management & Data Science at Treehouse Finance, Research Assistant at the privacy-tech-lab, and internships in investment analysis at Coinhako and Farquhar Capital. Outside of academics and work, I enjoy playing the piano and sharing my music through piano covers on YouTube. I'm always eager to connect with new students and help them achieve their academic goals while making learning an enjoyable and enriching experience.

I'm a current B.A. candidate at Columbia University pursuing a double major in Art History and Economics. Growing up, I always loved art; whether it be making art or learning about it, I found a true passion for the visual language of our world. These days, I am continuing my passion for art through both scholarly education and professional endeavors. My other interests include practicing yoga, tasting wine (WSET certified sommelier), and lifelong learning.

I am going into my third year of college majoring in Neuroscience. With experience from Bowdoin College and upcoming studies at King's College, I'm excited to share my knowledge and help other students succeed.

I'm currently a year four student at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, majoring in chemical engineering and finance with a minor in psychology. With a strong academic background, I've obtained 5's in six different AP courses spanning both science and business fields. Along with my current university CGPA of 4.10/4.30, this gives me the confidence and expertise to provide personalized, effective tutoring to help my students deeply understand and tackle any problems they may be facing.
