About Me

Hey everyone! My name is Mayank. I'm a Master's in Computer Science student at the University of Illinois - Urbana-Champaign, and I also manage Tri-Valley Tutors to provide families with educational resources made from the experience and perspectives of tutors.


I come from a family of educators and childcare service providers, so teaching is in my DNA. As a specialist in Artificial Intelligence, I include my research and industry experiences into my conversations with students and their families. The best tutors go beyond helping with school material. They serve as mentors who can discuss future college and career plans with a genuine interest in seeing students succeed.


I'm actively looking for clients to tutor remotely for anything involving math or computer science. I also offer writing or essay reviews. Please reach out to me with this Google form and I'll get back to you soon!
