I am a physics graduate who studied condensed matter physics at master's level, from Aligarh Muslim University which is ranked among top 5 national universities by times higher education.
Before university, I completed my schooling from an esteemed institution, Javahar Navodaya Vidyalaya.
The most interesting things for me are research in physics, sharing the information, teaching and discussing new ideas.
I have given tuition to a wide range of age group of students. I started teaching 8 years ago, to the students of middle school, high school and pre-university. Right now, I am teaching physics and mathematics to intermediate level students.
