• When did you develop an interest in your chosen field and in private tutoring?

  I was a maths enthusiast from my childhood. I was a maths geek in my school. So I pursued my engineering afterward. In school, I taught my fellow mates(for free) but when I started my job, I started tutoring along with it, as a pass time. Ohh my !! and little did I know, it was my passion, I started teaching more kids and soon I left my full-time engineering job to be a tutor!
  
  I felt there was a need for good teachers because 1 good teacher can raise 1000 engineers!

• Tell us more about the subject you teach, the topics you like to discuss with students (and possibly those you like a little less).

  I relate maths to real life, like fractions to eating a pizza. And interest rates to being a billionaire!! All the topics are unique and special if they are taught in the way it is meant to be.

• Did you have any role models; a teacher that inspired you?

  All the great scientists are my role models, My favorite was Fynmann. I also looked upon Madame Curie. She did so much in the time when women were considered not adequate for physics.

• What do you think are the qualities required to be a good tutor?

  1. Attention-grabbing
  2. One who can simplify and explain things differently
  3. Who understands the psychology of a child.

• Provide a valuable anecdote related to your subject or your days at school.

  I used to daydream about maths sums !!!

• What were the difficulties or challenges you faced or are still facing in your subject?

  I don't think anything is difficult, fairly speaking. But yes, there is one thing for the student's appearing in Yr 13 examination or going for selective exams, sometimes feels stressed "the basic - exam fear". So, I tell them breathwork which helps them reduce exam anxiety.

• Do you have a particular passion? Is it teaching in general or an element of the subject or something completely different?

  I love to see my students grow, each student is like a little bud. It's beautiful to see them blossom as a flower! That's my passion, to convert the buds to beautiful flowers.

• What makes you a Superprof (besides answering these interview questions)?

  I've been using Superprof before COVID was ever discovered, and likely from 2017. Yes, obviously on and off. I read about the founders and Yes, I am in their "connections" on LinkedIn.
  Apart from that, I've a passion to teach online and a willingness to give my knowledge that I have gained through my hard work. I don't like how "maths" is discriminated among everyone - I want to rekindle the LOVE of maths.
