I am very good at Mechanical Engineering subjects (like Strength of materials, Thermodynamics and Heat transfer, Refrigeration and Air conditioning, Theory of Machines, Engineering Mechanics, Manufacturing technology), and have excelled many competitive exams in this field. My Masters in Cryogenic Engineering provides me clear and in depth knowledge in all the above subjects. I have been tutoring mechanical engineering students for the past 1 year. I will make sure that the concept of the question asked by the student is cleared and the student gets a perfect understanding of the topic and would also suggest some reference material if required.
