I'm an Electronics Engineering graduate from one of the premier institutes in India, the Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology(IIST). I got admission into IIST by clearing one of the difficult entrance exams in India, IIT-JEE. I got a good base in both mathematics and physics during my preparation for JEE-mains and JEE-advanced. I have strengthened my knowledge in these subjects by attending various competitive tests during my school days. I loved to study and work on mathematics while I was in school which helped me in my graduate studies and tutoring career.
I am tutoring online for more than three years now. I have worked for tutoring sites like Chegg and course hero in the past years. In real life, I have good teaching experience. During my high school and higher secondary studies, it was compulsory that each student presents a seminar every week. It was frustrating to face an audience in the beginning, but now I can say I have evolved to become a better teacher. Some people may have deep knowledge but may find difficulty in conveying the concepts to his/her students. The vice versa can also happen. Only through continuous experience in teaching can we rectify this. My college has a special club called 'NIRMAN' which serves as a platform for educating the tribal students nearby college. I can proudly say that I am an active member in this venture, and have taken classes in many sessions. Currently, I am preparing for the CAT examination after the completion of my undergraduate course.
I am a person who believes in understanding the concepts behind every subject that we study; rather than just mugging it up. Only then can we make our foundations in that particular subject strong. It is both dangerous to have less knowledge than having a deep understanding as well as no knowledge at all. This is the motivation behind my studies. I have taught students from various schools and most of the sessions were related to Mathematics and its applications in our day-to-day life. Apart from these, I take maths classes for IIT-JEE aspirants in a coaching institute nearby.
