I have given private tuition to high school kids for an year. I have a pretty good in depth understanding in physics concepts and loves to solve problems on a daily basis. This is my first try at giving online tuition and i am a 100 percent confident that i can provide quality answers to my clients and will try hard not to disappoint them. I have also taken several classes at my college as I was assigned by my professor. So I am very well aware that i have to teach from the very roots of concepts to present a better picture before my students whether its theory or a numerical problem.
