Tegbir Kaur

President

Hi! I am Tegbir Kaur and I am currently a junior at American High School. I’ve always been one to explore my creativity in many ways. From a young age, I always loved creative writing; whether it’d be short stories, novels, or poems. Technology has also always interested me, which is how I ended up researching and teaching myself how to create animated videos through the software Animaker and websites through the software Wix. Additionally, I would love to pursue my passion for many academic subjects as well, such as math and history. My passion for education and my own career goals led me to seek the experience that comes with teaching at EduGive. I am looking forward to working with all of you and I hope that my class makes a lasting impact on all of you! :)

Hasini Methuku

Vice President

Hi! My name is Hasini Methuku and I am currently a junior at American High School. I’ve always loved math since I was little, and knew whatever my job would end up being, it would have some sort of math involved. I believe it's very useful to have a strong foundation in math since it’s found everywhere in our day-to-day lives. I also love engaging and interacting with people, and making math fun and unique in its own way, since it can be stated as “boring” sometimes. Outside of school I enjoy swimming which I’ve been doing for almost 8 years. I love to paint and draw (through which I express my creativity), read, volunteer anywhere that includes nature, and spend time with my family. I am incredibly honored to be a teacher at Edugive and I am looking forward to working with you all!

Devyani Choudhury

Social Media Manager

Hi! My name is Devyani, and I am currently a junior at American High School. I am especially passionate about STEM, which I have pursued through a large number of fields, including mathematics, chemistry, coding, and robotics. I am particularly interested in the application of these subjects in a real-world context, as I have found it helps me build a better understanding of the concepts. By teaching geometry, I hope to show younger students the importance of using school subjects outside of the classroom, instead of simply memorizing theorems. I am a huge advocate for accessible education, which is something I’m honored to pursue through Edugive. Outside of school, I love to read, play the piano, and learn new languages. I’m looking forward to working with all of you!

Shriram Gokhale

Class Head

Hi! My name is Shriram Gokhale and I am currently a sophomore at American High. I enjoy teaching as well as mathematics and so I look forward to teaching this course. In my experience, math can often seem unreasonable if you don’t know how or why it works; I hope to give students a better understanding as well as interest in mathematics, which is an important subject in so many fields. Some of my other interests lie in photography, technology, and film, all which I find fascinating, especially filmmaking.
I am excited to work with you all!

Shreya Panathula

Teacher

Hello! My name is Shreya Panathula, and I am currently a junior at American High School. From a young age, I have been passionate about learning new languages. My journey with Spanish began in seventh grade, and it has been a central part of my academic interests ever since. After completing AP Spanish, I sought opportunities to apply my skills meaningfully, which led me to discover Edugive. Beyond academics, I enjoy reading, writing short stories, and biking in my free time, all of which fuel my creativity and curiosity. I am thrilled to share my knowledge of Spanish and help others build a strong foundation in the language. I look forward to supporting your learning journey!

Juliette Karkanen-Molaug

Teacher

Hello! My name is Juliette, and I am a junior at American High School. I’ve always wanted to help people understand math by making education more accessible! I am currently enrolled in Calculus BC, and, with my advanced understanding of math, I want more students to thoroughly grasp the early concepts, so they will have a strong foundation when they take higher level math. I also have experience tutoring English to students in Taiwan and math to students at my high school. Apart from math, I am interested in cognitive and psychoanalytic psychology, and I plan to pursue it in the future. Occasionally, I also enjoy learning languages: I am currently learning Japanese, French, and a little bit of Korean. As a whole, by using my experience, I want to make effective education available to more people, so I am excited to be a part of this program!

Our Founders

The ones who started it all...

Tiffany Chen

IMG_1504_edited.jpg

Co-Founder

Hello! My name is Tiffany Chen, and I'm a college sophmore at UCLA. I'm very interested in the STEM field and particularly enjoy math and programming. I love teaching kids, and I genuinely enjoy interacting with them and teaching them new things. I excel in school, maintaining good grades throughout middle and high school. I have volunteered to teach HTML and Java classes to elementary/middle school students and am doing tutoring as well. Outside of school, I enjoy playing tennis and spending time with friends and family. I wanted to organize this program so that kids would have an opportunity to learn interesting material that is not taught at school and expand their interests and love for learning.

Co-Founder

My name is Evelyn Liu and I am a college sophmore at UPenn. I thrive in academic settings, consistently maintaining good grades throughout my high school career and earning honors in various competitions like USABO. Starting in my elementary school years, I tutored children in subjects such as Math, English, Chemistry, and Biology during and after school. I also have a background of teaching students with learning difficulties. With this experience, I wish to teach students in areas of interest to serve as a base for their future education. Academics aside, I love playing badminton, taking walks, and doodling in my free time. I wanted to organize this program to better prepare students for their upcoming courses as well as to introduce topics to peak students' interests.
