My passion for teaching was founded by my own experience as a student. Throughout my academic career, the challenges I encountered refined my own approach to understanding subjects, and the ensuing success after overcoming such obstacles brought me further love for learning and those subjects. I want to transmit that feeling of accomplishment to students as they master their own subjects, and hopefully foster a passion for further learning and success in any of their other endeavors. As a to... Read more

In 4 years I earned bachelors degrees in Electrical Engineering and Physics. Five years later I completed my doctorate in Electrical Engineering at UC Berkeley with an emphasis in electro...

After parents, I believe teachers have the greatest influence to shape the lives and the future of their students. Education is empowerment and my goal is to have my students believe and achieve this lifelong empowerment. I often share the story of my humble beginnings in rural India with students when I’d have to walk several miles a day to go to the nearest school and how, that early education opened my eyes to the world in ways I could never have imagined, The commitment to learn led me to...

Students who struggle with high school curricula are typically bright individuals who have excelled in school up until this point, and did not need to fine-tune study skills because learning in earlier grades was intuitive. This is where a qualified tutor with a proven track record can help a student change their perspective from a downtrodden "I am dreading this class" to an enthusiastic "I enjoy this class" as grades tend to improve with consistent tutoring sessions I use frequent informa...
