Atul G.

I am an engineer by background. I hold an MS degree in Mechanical Engineering from Rutgers University, NJ.

I enjoy working with students (elementary, middle, and high school) and have helped a number of students become proficient and independent in many different subjects. The best part about tutoring for me is working with students one-on-one and knowing that I played a part in their academic success.

I stress fundamentals and go the extra length to make sure that students really understand the subject. Once the foundation (in the subject) is built, students start enjoying the subject and they don't need my help any more. Over the years, I have developed an approach to present the mathematical / science concepts in a easy-to-understand manner so the students are able to follow the subject easily.

Positive experience — We hired Atul to tutor our son in algebra. We only had a couple of tutoring sessions because of a conflict in my schedule and I had to find a different tutor for the time frame we needed. But with that said the sessions that we did have with Atul was great. He was very patient with our son and very effective. In fact, Atul helped him study for a very important exam and our son passed with a high ...
