Bio

Teaching is my first love in life. I began my career as a Temporary Lecturer in my undergrad engineering college, teaching one of the most challenging of subjects: Electrical Materials Science. I then worked as a Visiting Faculty member at another such college between industrial jobs, and as an Instructor at LSU, teaching undergraduate students Numerical Methods and Turbo-PASCAL, while completing my Master's degree in Electrical Engineering.

Teaching is my first love in life. I began my career as a Temporary Lecturer in my undergrad engineering college, teaching one of the most challenging of subjects: Electrical Materials Science. I then worked as a Visiting Faculty member at another such college between industrial jobs, and as an Instructor at LSU, teaching undergraduate students Numerical Methods and Turbo-PASCAL, while completing my Master's degree in Electrical Engineering. After a couple of decades in the industry, I am getting back to what I love: teaching, tutoring.

I am an Electrical Engineer by training, serial entrepreneur by choice, and Technical/Mainstream Writer working to contribute to the industry and society. Yet, teaching has always been in my blood: I taught my siblings and cousins, and my classmates, in secondary school and college. Many of my prior students continue to remember the impact I've had on their learning and careers. This is perhaps the most rewarding aspect of such work.

As a tutor, I am simply returning to what I do best: teaching through problem-solving, critical thinking, active discussion, and the Socratic method.

My goal is to help you achieve and exceed your goals and expectations. Teaching and tutoring, for me, is more than a "noble" profession, it is an inseparable part of life itself. I have always learned well when I had good teachers - and I hope to give you the same advantage as well.

Computer Engineering

I regularly teach subjects in Computer Engineering including Computer Architecture (microprocessors and microcontrollers), Assembly Language, Hardware Description Languages (VERILOG) at all undergraduate levels. I have also taught Digital Systems Design, Computer Programming languages, and Communications Networks (TCP/IP etc.). Additionally, I bring 10+ years of total teaching experience and 25+ years in the electronics and VLSI Design industry to my teaching sessions.

ECE foundations of Analog and Digital Circuits a d Systems

This is our first session with Raj after my son, David, struggled through his ECE lower-level classes. We can feel his passion for teaching and his unique approach to a student. He explained the concept very well and made my son feel confident about relearning the ECE fundamentals. Thanks, Raj, for your support and for motivating my son. We look forward to working with you in the future.

Knowledgeable tutor

My question was about Verilog language which is hardware descriptive language. He taught me that the method I follow in solving the question was wrong. coding in Verilog is different from other high level language such as c, c++, or python, so I changed the way of my learning how to code in Verilog and I get beneficent of his Knowledge.
