Tesoro High School Students Help Others Through Online Tutoring

RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, CA —With kids back to school, and so many families negotiating online learning with working from home, tensions are at an all time high in may households. Enter these two Rancho Santa Margarita teenagers. Both incoming freshman at Tesoro High School, Sania Sanghani and best friend Suki Chandok have taken the time of coronavirus shutdown to develop an online tutoring program to help elementary school families in more ways than one.

Sania and Suki, the S. and S. of their tutoring platform, spent the summer preparing their program and assisting kids' understanding of certain subjects over Zoom. Now, they've perfected the process and are seeking more students to help.

Sania and Suki are both honor students with experience in accelerated math, honors English, and Honors World History. They plan to help parents of elementary and middle school kids get a leg up in school, while also raising money for underprivileged children, according to their website.

Each of their tutoring "classes" is grouped by subject, and taught over the Zoom video platform. Their age makes them relatable to students, they say on their website.

Sania is a three-year winner of the Capistrano Unified School District Spelling Bee, and describes herself as an "organized honors student."

Her friend and partner, Sania, has experience tutoring siblings. She believes "knowledge is power," she says on their website.

The pair are offering tutoring in creative writing, math, introduction to Spanish, and grades 5-7 speech and debate.

They are initially looking to tutor students from kindergarten through 6th Grade, according to their website. They will donate half of their earnings to charity.
