Ever since cracking one of the toughest entrance exams in India the 'JEE' I have been determined enough to help students who are not able to get their concepts cleared and so I stepped into the arena of clearing my students doubt. I have been teaching students through private tuition, coaching institutes as a faculty since more than 3 years now. I have also created contents as a content developer for a famous e learning platform.
I am a Masters in Physics and pursuing my research in the field of Neutrino Physics. If you have any doubt in this field also I would be happy to help you.
I have always motivated my students to ask ample number of questions as I believe that a questioning mind is always better than a mind that has learnt all the answers.
