I am a certified online tutor, with more than 3 years of experience in online tutoring. My tutoring subjects include: Physics, Mathematics and Mechanical engineering. I have also been awarded as best tutor for year 2019 in my previous organisation. Being a Mechanical Engineer, I love to tell the application of the concepts of science and mathematics in the real world. This help students to develop interest and makes learning fun and easy. This in turn, automatically improves their grades in the subject. I teach students to get prepared for college entry level exam. I also use to teach undergraduate students and guide them through their career aim.
