About Sagar


Bio

I have been tutoring a variety of STEM subjects since I was in high school, which gives me a total of 8 years of teaching experience. Most recently I was a tutor for IDTech, teaching Python, Java, and math. Over my tutoring tenure I have taught over a thousand hours and hundreds of clients.

I absolutely love teaching, and few things give me more satisfaction than seeing a student understanding a new topic, especially one they are invested in. In addition to standard tutoring approaches...

I have been tutoring a variety of STEM subjects since I was in high school, which gives me a total of 8 years of teaching experience. Most recently I was a tutor for IDTech, teaching Python, Java, and math. Over my tutoring tenure I have taught over a thousand hours and hundreds of clients.

I absolutely love teaching, and few things give me more satisfaction than seeing a student understanding a new topic, especially one they are invested in. In addition to standard tutoring approaches (i.e. intermittent comprehension questions, customized homework based on strengths and weaknesses, effective review and summary of material), I am at my best when I can explore deeper subject matter based on the students interests and am good at bringing out each students' love for the subject.

I have tutored math for nearly eight years now, starting with middle school competitive math tutoring, and have tutored many areas of math, from elementary school to college, including clients who want to learn math for school, for competition, or just for fun. As for my personal math skills, I have competed in math since elementary school. I continue to do math on a daily basis as I conduct research on Algebraic Geometry and Combinatorics for UC Davis.

I have tutored Computer Science for three years, and have taught Python, Java, C, Machine Learning, and Artificial Intelligence. Python is my strongest subject as I have been writing Python code for almost ten years. I use it on a daily basis as a programmer.

Outside of tutoring, I am a programmer with a Bachelors of Science in Computer Science from UC Davis, algebra and combinatorics researcher, music lover, and owner of two lovely cats.

Please contact me if you and interested in my services! I look forward to working with you.

I can code afterall..

Sagar was very patient with me. He didn't just ask what I didn't understand, but also what my alotted study time is, what my grades are based on, and what my goals are. He was able to identify that my struggles with programming came from feeling overwhelmed by the size of the problems my assignments were asking me solve and showed me how to break those problems down. I was able to apply his advice to my most recent assignment. I felt immediately overwhelmed when I read the assignment requirements, but with Sagar's advice, I was able to complete the assignment in 4 hours, when I use to spend 12+ hours floundering and then give up. I will definitely be seeking his services again.

Great, Reliable Tutor

Sagar is a very knowledgeable and patient tutor. I struggle with syntax and he’s always really patient with me. He is also reliable and very easy to schedule lessons with.

A Knowledgeable and Patient Teacher/Tutor

Sagar was a perfect fit for Abdul. Abdul's ADHD required him to have a patient tutor and a kind teacher. Sagar approach was direct and affective. Abdul's first session with Sagar let me know that Sagar's knowledge of coding and his teaching approach gave the student a chance to explain his knowledge and to create a strategy to understand the problem. Sagar is the type of teacher that allows the student to learn at their own pace and to build confidence.

Joyce, 8 lessons with Sagar

excellent tutor

Sagar is very knowledgeable and highly qualified to tutor algorithm. Gives relevant instructions that help my son understand the difficult materials, by breaking down and getting to the point, with sense of accomplishment at the end of the session.

Detailed instructions

Sagar explained code very clearly when step by step instructions and I could really get it. I tried other tutors but I liked his approach the best as it helped me understand programming

Adept and humble tutor; led me to a deeper appreciation of the subject

Sagar helped me to gain a better grounding with some AI techniques. He blew me away more than a few times in our two sessions where he helped to explain his thought process for debugging some work, cleaning up some of my code, and also ideating on future approaches with me. I'd say his intelligence is matched by his humility -- very enjoyable to learn from him. Would definitely work with him again!

Mark, 16 lessons with Sagar

Very knowledgeable

Sagar helped me with a homework assignment. He reviewed code I had written to understand what I already did and then helped applying it to a problem. He was able to explain some general data science questions I had which helped my understanding of the algorithm immensely. Highly recommend him to anyone with questions or assignments in his areas.

James, 1 lesson with Sagar

Knowledable

Went through how to speed up solving problems. Was patient in listening to areas that I needed attention and provided solutions. Would definitely recommend him.
