Biography

I studied Mechanical Engineering at UC Berkeley and have always had a love for hands-on experiences and knowledge with practical applications. I enjoy sharing these real world connections with my Physics and Calculus students at AJ Tutoring. With my engineering background, I connect equations to the physical world which helps students understand what the variables and equations actually mean. Physics and Calculus classes can be challenging and it takes a practical understanding of these subjects to conquer difficult tests.

My goal as a tutor is to inspire students to reach higher academically while also making the topics more accessible. In college, I loved participating in BEAM, Berkeley Engineers and Mentors, an organization which allowed me to teach hands-on science lessons to elementary school students. We taught potential and kinetic energy using marble rollercoasters and Newton’s third law (equal and opposite forces) with water bottle rockets.

In my free time, I love to play tennis and build Legos. More than anything else, I love to play tabla, Indian drums, and listen to music.
