About
I love math and consider myself an expert. I am an Electrical Engineer with dual masters degrees in MS Finance and MBA. I can teach math to any level of students through college. I am currently tutoring high school students for SAT. I am able to solve any kind of doubt you have and help you with unique strategies to increase your scores/grades which your regular or "certified" teacher can't offer you. In fact I am planning to provide tutoring in Math for teacher certification.. LOL.
I speak with confidence as I have passed some of the most difficult exams in the world. I am a graduate of IIT (Indian Institute of Technology), alma mater to the CEOs of Google, IBM, Adobe, Fedex to name a few. I also have industry experience as an IT professional. I can train you on what is relevant in real world and get you ahead not just for your grade level but prepare you for career.
I love working with students to understand their needs and how I can create love for the subject. I approach tutoring in compassionate manner. I always try to boost their confidence so that they can do better.

Each student is different with different skillset. For example some are naturally good in math and some are good in language arts. So Create a list of your strengths and weaknesses. Note down your goals and objectives regarding getting tutored. Share it before you start tutoring so that tutor can customize the lessons to your need.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Students should try to know whether their tutor is a subject matter expert. Having teaching certification does not always mean that tutor is an expert. Students should try to understand whether Tutor has love for the topic and teaching.
