With over three decades of experience in dentistry and education, I bring a unique blend of clinical expertise, academic mentorship, and a deep passion for teaching to every tutoring session. My journey began in India, where I earned my BDS and B.Sc in Botany, and continued in the U.S. with a DDS from NYU and a residency at Mount Sinai Hospital. Since then, I’ve practiced general dentistry, served as a Clinical Associate Professor at NYU, and held leadership roles in professional organizations like the Academy of General Dentistry. These experiences have shaped my approach to tutoring: I believe in fostering curiosity, building confidence, and tailoring each session to the student’s individual needs. Whether I’m guiding a dental student through treatment planning or helping a younger learner grasp scientific concepts, I focus on clarity, patience, and real-world application. My multilingual background—fluent in English, Tamil, Hindi, and Malayalam—allows me to connect with diverse families and create an inclusive learning environment.
My tutoring style is hands-on, encouraging, and rooted in mutual respect. I take time to understand each student’s strengths and challenges, then craft a personalized plan that supports growth and mastery. I use visual aids, analogies, and interactive discussions to make complex ideas accessible and memorable. I also emphasize critical thinking, self-motivation, and consistent practice—because true learning is a journey, not a race. Parents appreciate my structured sessions, calm demeanor, and ability to inspire students to take ownership of their learning. I’ve mentored students in clinical settings, reviewed manuscripts for dental journals, and evaluated products for leading dental publications—all sharpened my ability to communicate effectively and teach with purpose. Above all, I strive to create a safe, inspiring space where students feel heard, challenged, and supported. I’m here not just to teach, but to guide, uplift, and celebrate every step of the learning journey.
