I have served as a teaching assistant for all levels of undergraduate physics courses throughout my time as a doctoral student. My education up to a bachelor's degree (in Engineering Physics) took place in India and I have experience tutoring middle and high schoolers there. I strive to carefully foster the critical thinking skills necessary to tackle

On average, students take 9 to 50 sessions.
