knowledgeable and patient tutor

Dr. Joshi is an excellent mentor. He guided me step by step through the CRISPRa–DRD4 workflow, making complex bioinformatics methods clear and actionable. The materials were well prepared, the instructions were easy to follow, and he connected each step to the bigger research goals. I feel much more confident about using R scripts, running CHOPCHOP/Cas-OFFinder, and planning my next analyses. Highly recommended for anyone who wants both technical expertise and clear teaching.

Tutor responded:

Thank you, Dr. Kim, for your thoughtful review. It’s been a real privilege working with you on the CRISPRa–DRD4 project. I admire the depth of your questions and your systematic approach—it makes session both productive and enjoyable. I’m glad the step-by-step workflow and materials have been useful, and I look forward to continuing our work as you advance through the next stages of your analysis.

Great Teacher

Dr. Chandra has a unique way of explaining things that makes learning enjoyable and easy to understand. Anyone who gets the chance to learn from Chandra is truly fortunate. Thanks for taking the time to comb through my resume with me. Looking forward on working with you again in the near future.

amazing tutor!!!

Chandra was so helpful and explained everything so thoroughly I understood it immediately!! And he was so helpful in walking through all the steps. Highly recommend

Sofina, 1 lesson with Chandra
Tutor responded:

During this session, Sofina and I began by carefully reviewing the worked example handout and sketches. We then checked her RISA-3D version and developed a clear simulation protocol tailored to her software. Sofina successfully implemented the setup on her computer, applying loads, meshing walls, and defining diaphragms exactly as outlined. Most importantly, she was able to validate her hand calculations against the RISA-3D simulation results — an amazing achievement for a one-story parking structure design that is both seismically safe and structurally sound, and an excellent example of a Geotech structural engineering project in practice. I truly appreciate Sofina for writing such a positive remark and also want to acknowledge how bright and dedicated she is — it made guiding her through this project a real pleasure.

Knowledgeable and skillful Tutor

Dr. Joshi is an excellent tutor. I’m a Mechanical Engineering student, and he turns complex topics into clear, step-by-step explanations. He provides simplified notes that demystify advanced formulas and always checks that the underlying physics concepts make sense. In our session on laminar pipe flow, we derived the normalized velocity profile, reviewed friction factor and Reynolds number, and confirmed the classic result 𝑓𝑅𝑒=64. His pacing is patient, organized, and focused on understanding not just answers. I’m excited to continue working with him, including starting CFD to validate the analytical results. Highly recommend for anyone who wants clarity and confidence."

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

My name is Emmanuel Korley, and I am a senior in the Environmental Engineering program at Florida Technical University. I’m currently working on a 16 MGD (Million Gallons per Day) capacity water treatment plant project, which involves collecting water from three different sources and chemically treating it to make the water safe for drinking and eligible for distribution. I reached out for help on Wyzant, and Dr. Joshi responded with a clear explanation of how he could support the project with technical details. We met several times, and with each session, we made steady progress. In our first meeting, we discussed the overall working of the treatment plant. On the second day, we outlined the essential treatment steps. By the third session, we focused on the equipment and devices required to build the system. Dr. Joshi went into impressive technical depth, which helped me understand each component clearly. He is patient, attentive, and genuinely understands the needs of the person he is guiding. I truly appreciate his assistance and am glad I had the opportunity to work with him.

AMAZINGLY KNOWLEDGEABLE AND PATIENT TUTOR

My name is Mark Jasper Miras, an international student from the Philippines, currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering at a prestigious college in Ottawa, Canada. For my final capstone project, I had to use a Raspberry Pi to build a weather monitoring system. I initially got some help through Wyzant, but the support ended unexpectedly, and I was left feeling overwhelmed. Then Dr. Joshi responded to my request with a detailed plan, and I finally felt hopeful again. He worked with me closely, helped me submit key parts of the project (like component listings and descriptions) on time, and even supported me with other technical tasks—without charging extra. Dr. Joshi is approachable, knowledgeable, and truly focused on helping students succeed—not just working for money. As an international student, I found his support incredibly valuable, and I plan to recommend him to all my friends. Thanks to him, we successfully completed the project, and I’m confident I’ll finish the course strong.
