About
When students comprehend difficult concepts and are able to accept the 'next level challenge', that is a golden moment for me.
My students don't have to 'remember' stuff, they understand, they comprehend, they internalize.
What they learn, becomes a part of their knowlege / information system and hence stays with them for ever.
You forget things you 'try' to remember. Things you understand, you don't have to remember. As simple as that.
And that's the approach I subscribe to. That's the tecnique that always works.
Oh! I almost forgot to mention. My tutoring experience dates back to 1980 when I had just finished my Degree In Engineering and was offered the position of a Professor rightaway.
Eversince, the passion has stayed dominant while transitioning through different careers embracing electronics, telecommunications, computers hardware and software arenas.
If no one else has been able to drive home a concept, they had to look no further after they became my students.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I start with assessing the current level, weekenesses and strengths of any new student who enlists my services.
Most importantly I examine a student's approach towards studies - whether it's based on memorizing or comprehension. Those belonging to the 'memorizing' category, need a lot initial grooming up.
My approach of transitioning from 'simple' to 'complex'; from 'known' to 'unknown' has always proved very rewarding.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Engineering Degree plus some 40 plus years of tutoring experience.

No standard pricing. Alot depends on - number of hours per session, number of total hours per week, number of students (in case of a group), and how long is the commute.
