Career Experience

Hello and a warm welcome to my Tutor.com profile! I'm Shanaka, a dedicated educator with a strong academic foundation and more than a decade of experience teaching chemistry and mathematics to students at various educational levels, ranging from high school to community college and university settings.

I Love Tutoring Because

it allows me to make a positive impact on students' lives by helping them understand challenging concepts, build confidence, and achieve their academic goals. Witnessing the moment when a student grasps a difficult concept and gains newfound confidence is incredibly rewarding. Tutoring also provides me with the opportunity to share my passion for learning and inspire others to reach their full potential.
