Experience
I am an Electrical Engineer by profession and thus have a strong theoretical background of Math & Science subjects. For the past 2 years, I have been a Research Assistant at my university and had my research published at one of the A grade conferences. All this time, I used to help fellow students and realized that discussion and collaborative sessions are the most quick and effective ways to learn something. Tutoring has always interested me from the very beginning and thus it comes naturally to me. I've ample experience in the field of teaching and I believe that teaching concepts and their applications in real scenarios enables the students to perform a lot better. In July and August of 2014, I delivered motivational lectures to high school girls, in Palo Alto, about the advantages of them being in the tech-related fields and gave them a few exercises for hands on experience with Python. I've given online tutoring lessons, of High school level Math and Chemistry, to students in Malaysia and have also given Math and Science home tuitions to high school students. I've taught Additional Mathematics to O' Level students at a very prestigious school and the students produced excellent results with most of them attaining A’s. In addition to this, I have been a Teaching Assistant of Physics and Math courses at my university. Enrolments for these courses were usually above 100 so I have a capability of managing large bodies of students. My duties included holding interactive sessions with students, taking quizzes, preparing and checking assignments etc. I was also an all-subject teacher in a summer school at a charity organization called "CARE FOUNDATION". I’ve also worked for math-help-services.com and used to make MCQs and Conjecture type questions for the students of grades 7-12. When I was a student myself, I achieved the highest mark in the world in O 'Level Mathematics. I also had a perfect Math score in my S.A.T exam and have done exceptionally well in the Math and Science courses during my undergrad. Furthermore, I was a recipient of "Academic Excellence Award" for five consecutive years in school and have had straight A*s in my O & A Level Cambridge International Examinations. Later on in university, I was on Dean’s Honor’s List and had A's in all of my Math & Science courses.
