I am an Assistant Professor of Mathematics at well-reputed University in India, where I am teaching pure and applied mathematics both. Since ten years, I was teaching mathematics at school level especially, class 11 and class12 students. I qualified a national level examination CSIR NET JRF and i have been awarded fellowship to complete Ph.D. I enrolled in Ph.D. in 2012 in Apllied mathematics. After the completion of my Ph.D. in mathematical modeling, I am teaching mathematics to undergraduate and postgraduate students.
I am an excellent tutor for those students who are really interested to learn mathematics conceptually and enhance their thinking ability to solve complex problems. My methods of teaching are very simple and attractive to learn difficult concepts.
