Student Success Stories

"I took a Data Structures and Algorithms class with Arjun and was blown away by the depth of knowledge and ability to break down complex concepts so patiently and clearly. Learning conceptually challenging subjects requires a certain perspective, and Arjun is truly skilled at this. I feel fortunate to have found this tutoring service and would very highly recommend it to anyone looking to build a strong foundation!"

- Pranav G., College Student

"Literally the best tutor I've EVER HAD! Concepts I never thought I would understand in my graduate level class were made SO EASY! I left the session feeling so much weight lifted off my shoulders. He is so patient too and doesn't mind explaining things over and over until you really understand it. Can't recommend enough."

- Eema I., Graduate Student

"My SAT score improved by 200 points after working with Mindforge. Dr. Srivatsa went through a detailed lesson plan where we first analyzed my strengths and weaknesses from previous tests and worked to cover my weak points. He also gave me numerous test taking strategies and tips which helped greatly. I would highly recommend Mindforge for any standardized test preparation!"
