Hi,
I work as a Senior Software Engineer in a consulting firm. During my school days, I consistently scored above 90% and specially in Mathematics. I was the goto person for all my school and college friends. I have worked very hard for IIT entrance exam (unfortunately didn't crack it) and my AIEEE All India Rank was 13,533 out of 7 lakhs students.

Mathematics has always been my strong point and still now I love solving it. I love programming a lot and I use them in my day to day career. My teaching style will be as below:
1. First when going through any chapter make sure we do not skip the theory and read each and every point very carefully.
2. Then we solve the example problems (which have the solution). But we first solve it ourselves before looking at the solution.
3. I always make sure we write down each step and never note them verbally in our mind. Each and every step has to be noted on paper.
4. Then we check if any other approach or theory which can be applied to solve the problem. I always keep a habit of solving a question in more than one way. Even if the other way is long and I won't prefer to write that in the exam, I will still solve it. This approach can be of help in solving some other problem. ( My personal experience: Habit of solving problems in more than one way not only applies in Mathematics or studies but also in our ability to solve problems in life.)
5. Next, we solve the main problems of the book and try solving it in multiple ways.
6. I had never by-hearted the formulas first. I will look into different reference books on how that formula is derived and used. I used to solve those theory / algorithms first and then use them as an application in solving the examples.
7. PRACTICE, PRACTICE, and PRACTICE. Even if you are a topper, very smart or an average student working hard should always be our motive.
8. Last but not the least, my teachers would always say
a. Struggle now and enjoy rest of your life or enjoy now and struggle for rest of your life. (We can talk on this a lot if we decide to learn from each other)
b. Never be afraid of any subject or any problems. They are just to test your ability.
c. Never ever compare yourself with anyone. Compete only with SELF.

I enjoy group studies a lot. And everyone from my school and college teachers, my friends would suggest me to become a teacher. I love working in startup companies and hence was not able to continue as a part-time teacher. I will love to help you out any time.
