Hi, my name is Dharshan. I'm a freshman at Rutgers University and I'm majoring in Electrical and Computer Engineering with a minor in Computer Science. In high school, I enjoyed courses such as calculus, chemistry, and physics and I'm continuing to pursue my passion in these fields throughout college. As an experienced tutor, I've taught at many institutions including Kumon and Bay Area Chess. I like to approach tutoring by introducing topics and asking students to first show me their approach, and then correcting or improving on their knowledge, to build on what they already know, rather than just showing them how to do a certain problem. This is the strategy that a lot of my strong teachers used in high school, and I found it the most useful as a student.
I have two years of experience tutoring algebra one and algebra two to middle school students, and 4 years of experience teaching chess to elementary school students. As a competitive chess player, I've won many regional and state level tournaments over the last 6 years. I've worked with groups of 3-6 students for algebra and also have practice with individual lessons where I taught chess. Additionally, I worked with many other tutors and found the most efficient way to teach a student about any topic they are struggling on. I am currently taking calculus 4 and am very confident in my mathematical skills.
More than anything, I want my students to benefit from every minute of our lesson,. Whether it means providing extra practice, delving deeper into a concept, or a question regarding anything, I am happy to help. Feel free to contact me with any additional questions or to schedule a lesson!
