About Valmiki

Bio

How is life treating you? I am Valmiki, lover of the science. I just graduated with my Master's in Chemical Engineering from New York University and have since worked at NASA and the US Army as an Engineer. I have been tutoring professionally since 2013 but I've always enjoyed helping my peers. I believe, as a society, we have only gotten as far as we have because we had someone to pass on their knowledge. It is therefore my duty to do the same.

I enjoy learning how the things around us...

I believe, as a society, we have only gotten as far as we have because we had someone to pass on their knowledge. It is therefore my duty to do the same.

I enjoy learning how the things around us work and that is how I understand the sciences. Through application and practice, you learn to love what you do. I look forward to sharing my enthusiasm with you and reaching that 'Aha!' moment that I live for.

I tutor both college level and high school students in Chemistry, Calculus and Physics.

Approved Subjects

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I have been tutoring math, from high school to college level, for quite some time and I believe I understand the different methods needed to accommodate different learning styles. I believe that in order to teach something, you must first master it.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

I am currently pursuing my Master's degree in Chemical Engineering at New York University. Engineering is a very mathematically intensive degree and I can say that I have a firm grasp of how math is applied to everyday life. I believe it is refreshing to understand how things work around you.
Calculus

Calculus

Engineering is a very mathematically intensive degree and I can say that I have a firm grasp of how math is applied to everyday life. I believe it is refreshing to understand how things work around you. I have gotten top scores in Calculus I, II, and III at New York University.
Chemistry

Chemistry

I began to learn about the field of chemistry when my elder brother began bringing home his chemistry homework from high school. My love for the science has grown ever since so much that I just completed my Master's in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at New York University. I have been a chemistry tutor at New York University for the past five years.
Differential Equations

Differential Equations

I have a Master's degree in Chemical Engineering and have been a tutor at NYU School of Engineering for the past five years. This very mathematically intensive field depends heavily on differential equations and their analysis.
Geometry

Geometry

I am currently pursuing my Master's degree in Chemical Engineering. Engineering is a very mathematically intensive field and I believe I have enough understanding of how math is applied to our everyday lives to explain the fun and important topics that include Geometry.
Physics

Physics

I have gotten distinctions in Cambridge 'O' and 'A' Level Physics exams. I have also gotten A's in all levels of applied physics at New York University School of engineering. I have also tutored at New York University for two years.
Precalculus

I believe it is refreshing to understand how things work around you. I have gotten top scores in Calculus I, II, and III at New York University.
Regents

Regents

Having taken the Cambridge examination for the equivalent Regents exams, I feel comfortable with the material taught. I am pursuing my master's degree in Chemical Engineering at New York University which has fully prepared me for any level of high school math or science. I am also tutoring my nephew who is also taking the Regents this year, so I am familiar with the most recent format.
SAT Math

SAT Math

I have gotten 780 in SAT Math on my first try and gotten distinctions in Cambridge A-level Pure Mathematics and Advanced Mathematics. I am currently tutoring Chemistry and Mathematics at New York University while pursuing my Master's in Chemical Engineering. I believe in perfection through practice.
Trigonometry

Trigonometry

As a Chemical Engineering student at New York University, I have had considerable experience with the basic and advanced stages of Trigonometry. I have had to employ trigonometry in my extensive physics and calculus courses.

THE BEST!!

Valmiki was SUPER helpful totally knew what he was doing, not judgmental and he really helped get me back on track in my physics class. He's affordable, super sweet and super effective. I would HIGHLY recommend this tutor!

Knowledgable and teaches self learning

I think I'm a special case, coming from two degrees in English and being used to reading and researching as opposed to following principles and applying knowledge to equations. With Valmiki's tutoring I am learning to find resources and think through problems rather than panic and freeze up when I am no longer in the presence of a tutor.

Only had two lessions

So far things are working good only had two lesion but my kid's seem to like him . as time goes' on well see. My daughter is very opinionated . She only had one lesion she will let me know.. I will update review as we move forward.

Patient and Accomodating

He was very patient with my daughter, Sam. She stated that he didn't make her feel inadequate for not knowing the material. Sam wants to continue tutoring with him. I'm hoping Valmiki can help Sam study for her SAT as well. I highly recommend him. He knows his stuff and he is pleasantly polite.

Good tutor!

Valmiki helped me with general chemistry 2. I loved how patient he was with me. He would constantly ask me questions to make sure i understood the concepts. He is also very knowledgeable and great at explaining the steps needed to answer the question correctly. Overall he was a good tutor!
