About Sameer
My name is Sameer Shaikh, and I am currently a sophomore at Yale University. This winter and spring, I am looking to do some virtual tutoring. I understand current circumstances are particularly strenuous for students of all ages, and that many students are finding it difficult to closely engage with teachers and classmates. I love working with kids, and have always enjoyed tutoring friends and family members. Additionally, I have coached younger kids in basketball, an activity that requires the same degree of patience, kindness, and enthusiasm as tutoring.
Writing has always been my strong-suit -- whether working on school newspapers, submitting pieces to the national writing board, or completing long research papers. As a Yale freshman, I completed several paper-heavy courses geared for upperclassmen. At Sidwell Friends high school, all three of my history research papers received top marks from the National Writing Board. Another paper won awards at the National History Day competition (First Place in Washington DC and the Affiliate Award at Nationals). I have received other scholastic writing accolades and had several essays published in national journals. I received Sidwell’s journalism award with a cash prize that I used to attend the Medill-Northwestern Summer Journalism Institute. This was a month-long summer program entirely tailored towards those interested in journalistic fields that greatly reinforced my love of writing. I would love the opportunity to help kids of all ages (from the elementary to high school level) improve their writing
My writing experience throughout high school included working on school publications, attending the Medill Journalism Institute, and defending my essays in front of a panel of judges at the National History Day competiton, among other writing-centric activities. Further, I received recognition from the national writing board, and Sidwell Friends' Journalism award. At Yale, as a prospective history major, my courses have been writing-heavy, and I have studied under leading historians in their respective fields.
Additionally, tutoring requires a great degree of patience, compassion, and enthusiasm. I have learned this through tutoring several friends, and younger family members. I likewise have worked as a basketball coach for 6th graders, a job that requires similar skills.

I would start with a trial lesson to get a feel for the student's personality, strengths, and weaknesses. Above all, I want to make the student I'm working with feel comfortable with me, and enhance his enjoyment of his work. This allows for the most effective tutoring relationship.
