Dear Students/Parents, I am Chandan Mahata, a master's student of IIT Kharagpur. I have more than 1.5 years of teaching experience as a TA in NPTEL online courses (Industrial Biotechnology and Biochemical Engineering) and as a subject matter expert in Chegg (Chemical Engineering). I have been teaching undergraduate (3rd year) and postgraduate (1st year) students of IIT Kharagpur in the classroom program (Tutorial classes of Aspects of Biochemical Engineering) for one year. I teach mathematics for school students (pre-algebra, pre-calculus, basis geometry), SAT, GMAT, and GRE (general) aspirants.
I adopt visualization techniques using real-world examples to teach mathematics. My teaching style can best be described as interactive, supportive, and transparent. I encourage my students to have a voice in the classroom, ask questions when they come up, and participate actively in all conversations regardless of their confidence level.
