An engineer specializing in math and coding

Krishna W.

I studied Aerospace Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, where math was a core part of my daily work, from calculus and linear algebra to probability and numerical methods. After graduating, I worked as a research engineer at Sony in Tokyo, where I used Python and machine learning extensively to build and test real systems. I am currently pursuing an MBA at the University of Chicago Booth, but I continue to work closely with data, coding, and quantitative problem solving as part of my academic and professional work.

My teaching experience has mostly been one-on-one, working with students who needed help understanding math and coding at a fundamental level. I have helped high school and college students with math subjects such as algebra, calculus, and linear algebra, and I have mentored beginners and early-career learners in Python and basic programming concepts. In most cases, I worked with students over multiple sessions, adjusting the pace and depth based on how they learned and what they were struggling with, whether that was understanding concepts, solving problems, or gaining confidence.

When I tutor, I try to make math and coding feel less intimidating and more logical. I focus on building intuition first, then moving step by step through problems so students understand the “why,” not just the answer. I am patient, conversational, and adapt my explanations until something clicks. My goal is to help students feel comfortable asking questions and to leave each session with a clearer understanding than when they started.
