I'm pursuing a degree in Mathematics at National Institute of Technology Rourkela. I opted the Mathematics branch as my first choice
From childhood onwards,I love to do mathematics problems and I got All India 3rd rank in competitive exam. Till now, I enjoyed solving Problems.I have a gut feeling that i can explain the concept much better than many others. I'm a Chegg Senior Expert in Chegg India Q&A. I'm very professional in work.
Actually I'm a Workaholic.
I want to improve my skills more and more. Working as a tutor in your site will help me to improve my skills and your students will also be satisfied with my teaching skills.
It'd be great for me and for your tutoring site for selecting me as a tutor.
