I hold graduate degree in mechanical engineering from AMU. I have above 8 years experience of teaching physics and maths to senior secondary and competitive level students (JEE and NEET). I have taught in some well known coaching institutes of Aligarh. Right now I m faculty of physics at "Quantum classes". I have a keen interest in teaching students and clearing their concepts in a very lucid and attractive manner. I have vast experience of problem solving and handling varies types of problemas from various topics of physics and maths. My teaching has a speciality that I try to dive deep into the mind of students and try to pin point the root of their all confusions and problems. Then I device my way of tuting in such a way that student gets all of its concepts cleared from very basic to highest level and the student becomes able to handle the subject on his own.
I try to give them the confidence in their field.
