Saravanan Nanthakumar Tutor, Electronics Engineering and Physics
25 Reviews

I teach with strong emphasis on fundamentals. The student learns from intuition, then proceeds to the phase of developing theory and equations, which makes the insight of the student, into the subject, to be the best. My teaching clearly correlates the theory and the way it is applied. I explain how the concept studied in a particular topic of Science and Engineering, applies equally well, to another topic. The students feel the happiness themselves, in acquiring knowledge by intuition, rather than memorizing theory and equations.

I am an independent researcher in Electronics Engineering and Physics. I hold a master's degree in engineering with specialization on Very Large Scale Integrated-Circuits (VLSI) Design. My area of interest in research spans Analog/Mixed-Signal/RF Circuits, Zero Noise Analog Design and General Theory of Relativity.

I teach interactively. I ask the student to answer questions by intuition derived from the class, so that I have feedback of the student's understanding of the subject and teach accordingly. I receive direct feedback from students as well. I let the student speak and analyze the knowledge of the student in the concerned subject, to adapt the teaching strategy. I use different types of teaching strategy for students from a variety of background and mindset. I repeat explaining a concept, from all the possible viewpoints, until the student understands the concept that has been taught. I teach with variety of examples and illustrations to make the session mutually beneficial.

Sir has great understanding of student requirements,

He understood my requirements perfectly to have more focus on problems and doubts related to that. He helps the student to analyze the problems to its roots to develop and understand solutions so that there is no confusion and need to remember long formulae. He is able to give clarity in concepts and has high patience in repeating the concepts until I understood them completely. He also gives tips and short tricks to help solve the problems faster.

Explains the concept in the way we understand and does it thoroughly.

Most of the teachers wouldn't like to repeat teaching a topic if we say we didn't understand properly . But Saravanan sir does not mind teaching repeatedly even if we forgot the topic.Physics can be understood just with definition and theory,sir takes all the efforts possible to make you understand the topic by drawing and explaining.
