Akanksha Dendukuri

Academic and Test Prep Tutor


Biography

I grew up in the Bay Area and recently graduated from UC Davis with a B.S. in Neurobiology. I first discovered my love for teaching when I began working at a tutoring center in high school. What started as an after-school job quickly turned into a lasting passion, as I spent the next five years tutoring students in English, math, and chemistry both in person and online. Alongside that experience, I also privately tutored one-on-one, which gave me the chance to adapt to different learning styles and connect with students on a more personal level.

My experiences as both a student and a tutor have shown me how important confidence is to academic success. Even when a subject feels intimidating, the right support can make students feel capable and motivated. That’s why my tutoring philosophy goes beyond improving grades—I focus on helping students build study skills and self-confidence they can carry into every area of life. AJ Tutoring’s one-on-one format is the perfect fit, since it allows me to tailor each session to a student’s unique needs and strengths.

When I’m not tutoring, I love checking out new restaurants, going to concerts, and working on creative projects like painting or arts and crafts. I’m also a big fan of trivia nights and board games, and I never turn down a game of chess!

""The level of help they provide and the professionalism in the sense that he get me to get the job done and help me learn, but not so over the top such that I don't enjoy tutoring.""
