About Me
Hi! My name is Siddharth Sivalanka, an undergraduate student at the University of California San Diego. I enjoy watching sports, particularly basketball and football and also enjoy playing chess. I’m passionate about tutoring, because tutoring was an important phase for me, as it helped me become a better student in high school. I was to share my knowledge with others, as it is sometimes harder for some to understand information than others, and that is ok. I am a very chill tutor, so please don’t worry if you make mistakes, as that’s the point of me being here anyway. I am excited to start working with you.

Tutoring Experience
My tutoring experience consists of teaching multiple different subjects within STEM. Firstly, I was the lead Java and Python programming instructor during high school. I taught elementary, middle, and high school students about all levels of programming. Working with basic variables, all the way to writing full programs, each student learns something valuable through my bootcamp. This bootcamp was an online one, which was conducted on zoom meetings. But I also had in-person tutoring sessions. For biology, we had in-person tutoring sessions at school, in my teacher’s classroom, where I taught them about various aspects of biology: working in the lab, memorizing types of macromolecules, and helping them understand large-scale concepts such as ecology. I additionally served as a math tutor, where I taught 20 students online and helped them achieve the highest standard in the math placement exam. I have valuable tutoring experiences both in-person and online making me a good tutor.
Philanthropy / Volunteering Experience
As part of the STEAM Foundation, I was the lead java and python programming instructor. Working with over 100 students, I helped beginner and intermediate level programmers feel more comfortable with programming, modeling it after AP Computer Science A and AP Comp Sci P, by making programming assignments and exams inorder for them to achieve their goal of becoming more confident with programming. I additionally was a math tutor for elementary school students, where I helped them prepare for the math placement exam, and every one of my 20 students achieved the highest math placement (Course 3), as they were doing 8th-grade math during 6th grade. I also was a biotechnology lab assistant during my senior year, where I helped my high school teacher manage a lab class of over 100 students in a program called SRVUSD Bioimagineering where I helped them learn about basic lab procedures and walk them through how working in a lab feels like through personal experience.
