Update: As of this typing, 5/9/2023, I feature as top 5 tutor by hours locally in SF Bay area.

I am a UOR Physics Ph.D. with two areas of specialty: math and physics.

I have 15 years of experience as a physics tutor. I love helping my students with diverse physics topics, including but not limited to electricity, magnetism, mechanics, statics, optics and semiconductor physics.

I have 15 years of experience as a math tutor, and I've worked with students from middle school through college and beyond, covering topics from pre-algebra and algebra through calculus 1/2/3 and differential equations

I've been told I'm kind and really good at communicating with people at their own pace and understanding. I'm also patient, happy to work with students with all skill levels and aptitude

I've helped math students with a variety of difficulties, such as math anxiety, a tendency to make lots of mistakes on homework and tests, and teachers and textbooks that we're so good.

I am an extremely good test taker and like to share my experiences with students. Once of my specialty is a 30 hour crash course for PSAT and SATs. Generally taken over 2-4 weeks, I guarantee at least a 60 point score increase as measured by an assessment test before the start and after the end of crash course. I also do an assessment during the middle of the course to assess where the student are at.

ACT math and science prep are also in my area of expertise and I have helped students with those.

Please note the following tutoring policies:
The rate may need to be increased if more than one student is requested to be tutored at a time.
Cancelling without 20 hour notice, will lead to 30 mins being charged for.

Very knowledgeable tutor

Prashant tutored my son in AP Calculus AB and AP Physics. Prashant was extremely knowledgeable and prepared for each tutoring session. Tutoring two subjects at once he was very planned as to what needed to be done each session even giving work to do outside of their sessions. After just a couple sessions my son had his first AP Calc test and his grade rose significantly. We are very pleased with the work Prashant did with our son and would highly recommend him.
