Experience

Saajan Bhakta is more than a tutor, he is a professional inspirational and motivational speaker. Saajan traveled the nation for 2 years as a professional inspirational speaker. He has spoken all across the country with groups ranging from elementary school students to cancer researchers. His audience count ranges from 50 to 10,000 people at a time. Ever had a tutor that just re-iterated what the teacher already said? What if you could have a tutor who not only tutored you, but made you believe that anything is possible, that you have the power to succeed, and who constantly exhibited high levels of powerful, positive energy during your tutoring sessions? Learning can be stressful, but when you have a tutor who pushes you to see your own power, you are more likely to succeed. Saajan will not only tutor you, he will empower you and give you the proper resources that you need to not only fly, but to soar! Saajan graduated valedictorian of Wichita Northwest High School in 2012 where he took extensive AP and Honors coursework. Saajan started his undergraduate career at age 17 at Wichita State University. He studied pre-medicine coursework for a year where he maintained a 4.00 GPA. Coursework that Saajan took includes biology, chemistry, physics, anatomy & physiology, and many other advanced science and math classes. Saajan later switched his major to psychology, and took many classes in psychology, sociology, humanities, and the liberal arts and sciences. He maintained a 4.00 GPA in this coursework. Saajan also took five years of Spanish, and has extensive experience tutoring in many foreign languages that he is fluent in including Spanish, Gujarati, and Hindi. Saajan graduated with his Bachelor of Arts in Psychology when he was 20 years old. He is still 20 years old, and is currently working on his PhD. His first book was published in March of 2014. Having written and published a book, Saajan is a valuable asset to many students who are seeking tutoring with any form of writing for any course. Saajan has extensive working knowledge in English, grammar, structure, organization, and powerful writing techniques. Saajan does not tutor for the money. He tutors because it is his passion. As you will see below in his professional biography, Saajan is committed to making the world a better place each and every day, and in this case, the lives of students.

Saajan is a youth activist, author, philanthropist, and public speaker. He has been honored by President Barack Obama and celebrities such as Eli Manning and The Cast of Glee. In 2013, Saajan was named a member of the “Top 30 Most Influential, Powerful, and Inspirational Youth around the World.” Saajan was recently named the 2014 Humanitarian of the Year for Kansas, making him one of the youngest recipients of the award in history. Saajan also serves a member of the coaching team for Miss America and Miss India. Saajan has also accepted an honorable invitation to serve as a 2015 Miss America Preliminary Judge. Saajan has been featured in The New York Times, Businesswire, Reuters, and many other large media outlets. Saajan has been nominated for the last three years for the CNN Hero Award. In 2010, Saajan founded his own nonprofit organization, PovSolve. PovSolve is a registered 501c3 nonprofit organization making positive change by raising money and creating awareness for human suffering. PovSolve works on the local, national, and international scale to meet the basic human needs of those living in poverty. PovSolve focuses on food, water, education, healthcare, and shelter. PovSolve has raised over $120,000, impacted over 39,000 lives, and inspired over 2,000 people to aid the cause! PovSolve’s mission is to work with the community to increase awareness about the issue of human suffering around the world, and help aid the suffering by taking positive action. PovSolve has fed thousands of hungry people living in slums around the world, has built a school in Africa, provided over 24,000 life-saving surgeries to those in need, and provided life necessities to hundreds living in poverty in third world countries. Saajan recently funded the construction of a school in Africa. Project L.O.V.E and PovSolve are building a sustainable primary community school (grades 1-7) in rural Zambia for impoverished children, giving these vulnerable children access to education. The school is teaching income generating skills, providing health care, technology, and more. This school is providing an area with extreme poverty a chance for children to get an education to reach their full potential and change the cycle of poverty for their generation. Additionally, the school will empower girls and provide equal access to opportunities. Most kids in Kamatipa and surrounding areas do not have access to primary school education and simply will never get a chance to get educated. They cannot afford uniforms and fees if enrolled at a government school, and most cannot manage the distance to travel to one. During 2014, PovSolve funded 2,000 life saving surgeries each month free of charge (24,000 surgeries total for 2014) to those living in poverty in India at the Dinbandhu Charitable Hospital, a hospital serving 140,000 poor people each year without asking for payment or for a very low fee equivalent to $1 in America. 2015's focus for Saajan's organization will be bringing clean water to rural parts of Africa. The organization will build water wells for those living in poverty to bring them clean, safe access to drinking water. Aside from his work with his own nonprofit organization, Saajan is involved in numerous other activities to make the world a better place. His largest achievements include being the Prudential Top Youth Volunteer of Kansas 2012, a Presidential Youth Volunteer Service Award, “Top 30 Most Influential, Powerful, and Inspirational Youth around the World 2013,” and the Kohl’s Cares Award. On March 18th, 2014, the Mayor of the City of Wichita officially proclaimed the day in Saajan Bhakta's honor. The final clause of the official and legal proclamation states: "Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved, that I, Carl Brewer, Mayor of the City of Wichita, Kansas, do hereby proclaim March 18, 2014 as Saajan H. Bhakta Day and asks all citizens to congratulate and encourage Mr. Bhakta for his contributions to mankind and his achievements as a role model for all citizens." Are you ready to call Saajan your tutor, mentor, and friend? Saajan's promise to you is that you will not only think you can, but you will KNOW you can by the end of your journey together.
