The best way to learn is to teach it to others. As physicist Feynman puts it, "If you cannot explain something in the language of a 5-year-old kid you did not understand it well enough." Therefore, I wish to teach kids in order to show them the beauty of Physics and Mathematics in the most exciting and simple way.

I am funny, can relate a topic with various anecdotes, and love to give a realistic approach for the students to understand things better and find their real-life applications. The best way to teach is not to spoon-feed but to inculcate a sense of curiosity and interest in students regarding a topic in such a way that the students themselves find answers to its questions and go out of their way to learn more about it. A teacher's job is just to raise the right questions so that it keeps them on the right track and guides them so that it acts as a log to keep that fire alive. Any person who knows and can apply this is indeed a great teacher.

Professionally speaking, I am a final year BSc. Physics and Mathematics student who has one year of online teaching experience in Physics and Mathematics to IIT-JEE and NEET aspirants. These exams being the toughest examinations across the globe gave me the confidence that I can teach any syllabus in these subjects to K12 kids. As I myself am trying for GRE, I also am well acquainted with the curriculum for SAT and IB. Apart from this, I have received research training from all the leading Astrophysics Institutes in the country and in the IVY League University as well. I am also the recipient of prestigious awards in both Physics and Astronomy Competitions in the world as mentioned in my resume.

Experience

  • Coding Instructor (Aug, 2022–Present) at Camp K12
    Teach K-12 kids about coding and the latest technologies like Scratch, JavaScript, Python, AI and Game Development, etc., and assist them in building their own projects.
  • Numerical Relativity Research Intern (Aug, 2022–Aug, 2022) at Brown University, Providence RI
    Here I performed the numerical study of gravitational waves, relativistic fluids, and modified gravity and learned the tools needed to master and understand cutting-edge numerical relativity simulations. Finally, I did my own independent project.
  • Visiting Student (Jul, 2022–Jul, 2022) at Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore
    As a Visiting Student for the IIA Summer Programme, I was exposed to research training in the emerging areas of exoplanets, solar physics, stellar & interstellar medium, galaxies & intergalactic medium, astronomical instrumentation and cosmology.
  • Einstein Toolkit Research Intern (Jun, 2022–Jun, 2022) at University of Idaho
    In the North American Einstein Toolkit School, I learned about the Einstein Toolkit which is a community-driven software platform to advance and support research in relativistic astrophysics and gravitational physics.
  • Research Intern (May, 2022–May, 2022) at Indian Institute of Technology(IIT), GANDHINAGAR, IIT Gandhinagar
    Received training for doing research in areas related to the Causal Structure of Black Holes and Quasi-
    Normal Modes, Black Hole Shadow, Cosmological Perturbations, and Weak lensing in their IAGRG
    School on Gravitation and Cosmology.
  • Gravitational-wave Astronomy Research Intern (May, 2022–Jun, 2022) at ICTS-TIFR, Bangalore
    Received training for doing research in GW Astronomy primarily in the areas of Supernova dynamics
    to understand the population of neutron binary and BBH systems; and Compact binary evolution, rates,
    and population modeling.
  • IIT-JEE Physics and Math Faculty (Apr, 2022–Aug, 2022) at Klass Wise Pvt. Ltd., Bengaluru, Karnataka
    Completed a crash course in Physics and Mathematics for IIT-JEE and NEET students, structured the
    entire curriculum and headed the curation team for preparing the tutorial PPts and notes.
  • Radio Astronomy Research Intern (Dec, 2020–Jan, 2021) at IUCAA, Pune, India
    Received training in doing research in Radio Astronomy at their Winter School which involved
    experiments on interferometry, handling worksheet on antennas and radiometer basics, analysis of
    Vela pulsar data from the Ooty Radio Telescope, and neutral hydrogen absorption line data Giant
    Metrewave Radio Telescope data. I did the projects by myself as I couldn't complete them then due to
    health issues.

Education

  • Bachelors in Science (Jun, 2019–now) from St. Joseph's College, Bangalore–scored Pursuing

Fee details

    ₹500–1,000/hour (US$5.95–11.89/hour)

    It depends upon the financial condition of the student. If the student is financially weak but eager to learn, i am always there to support him.
