Philadelphia Tutors from the University of Pennsylvania

Ivy League tutoring from the heart of Philadelphia

Founded by Benjamin Franklin and home to the world-renowned Wharton School, the University of Pennsylvania has shaped leaders in business, medicine, law, engineering, and the arts for nearly three centuries. At The Shires Tutoring Company, we connect families with Penn’s outstanding students and graduates — tutors who bring Ivy League rigor, intellectual depth, and genuine mentorship to every session. Whether your student needs help with math, English, test prep, college essays, athletics, the performing and visual arts, or a wide range of extracurricular pursuits, our Penn tutors are ready to deliver. We serve families throughout Philadelphia, Upper Darby, Ardmore, Swarthmore, and the greater Delaware Valley.
You can meet some of these exceptional tutors below. This is not the full list of tutors from this college town, and if you need a tutor who teaches specific subjects not offered by any of our current tutors at that college, whether listed here or not, then we will work to find a new tutor for you at the college, using our extensive tutor network and contacts.

Hi! My name is Haasini, and I’m a rising sophomore at the University of Pennsylvania planning to major in Cognitive Science. I have worked as a tutor before with the NorthSouth Foundation, where I was Lead Coach for neuroscience and tutored various other subjects including life sciences, creative writing, public speaking, and math. In this role, I created slideshows, problem sets, and taught weekly classes with these materials. I’m super passionate about teaching students and helping them comfortably learn material. I always hope to create a safe environment where the student does not hesitate to ask me any questions they may have.

I tutor Mathematics, English, Psychology, Chemistry, Earth Science, Biology, IB/AP exam prep, PSAT, and SAT. My exam scores were - SAT (Math - 800, Reading & Writing - 780), AP Biology (5), AP Psychology (5), AP English Language & Composition (5), AP Environmental Science (5), IB Chemistry HL (6), IB Biology SL (7), IB English Literature HL (6), AP Human Geography (5), AP Calculus AB (5)

Outside of the classroom, I love music, whether that’s listening to music, dancing, or playing instruments. I compete with my school’s Indian fusion dance team and play the violin and electric guitar.
