Certified Tutor

University of Memphis slogan says it rightly and perfectly "Driven by Doing". I am a graduate student of University of Memphis, USA. After completing my schooling I am working in Mathematics. It been a beautiful, peaceful, adventurous and good learning time. I completed my bachelors in Mathematics honors from Delhi University, India and then masters from IIT Bombay, India. Both of the institutes are top institutes of India and their course structure and referred book helped in building strong basics and developing the interest even deeper. After completing masters I joined Tata Consultancy services as senior data analyst but in starting few months only I realized I want to pursue PhD. So I joined University of Memphis in spring 2017.
From school days I used to study in group with my friends, helping each other in different topics and subjects. Since then I used to enjoy explaining things and to teach but I never thought I would pursue this as career. With time Math become love and teaching and research became my hobby. Officially I started teaching in fall 2017, University of Memphis, since then I am teaching every fall, spring and summer. And I feel myself lucky to be among those 1% students who get chance of teaching in their second semester. I taught lots of courses like calculus I, college algebra and trigonometry. And this summer I will be teaching differential equations or linear algebra. Teaching taught me lot about how to engage students, how to motivate them to do better and how to handle other challenges that comes during this journey. Also, I am working as a tutor from 2017 spring till now in University of Memphis math learning center, where students come to ask for help for any problem or concepts related to mathematics. Tutoring also help us in better understanding about the points/places where students generally get stuck or face difficulties. It also helps to refresh and review different concepts and subjects.
