PhD-Trained Chemistry | Physics & Math Tutor — Clear Explanations

Rahul K.

I hold an integrated BS–MS degree in Chemical Sciences and a PhD in Chemistry, completed through a full-time, research-intensive program. My academic training covers core and advanced topics in chemistry, physics, and mathematics, including physical chemistry, electrochemistry, thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, calculus, and differential equations. I am currently working as a Development Scientist in an industrial research setting, which allows me to connect fundamental concepts with real-world scientific and engineering applications. This strong academic and practical background enables me to tutor students with both conceptual clarity and problem-solving depth.

I have several years of experience teaching and mentoring students at the undergraduate and graduate levels in one-on-one and small-group settings. During my PhD, I regularly guided junior researchers and undergraduate students, helping them understand course material, laboratory techniques, and analytical thinking required for exams and research projects. I have also worked with high-school students preparing for advanced coursework, focusing on building strong fundamentals before moving to exam-level problems. My teaching experience spans students typically aged 15 to adult learners, with most sessions conducted individually to allow personalized instruction.

My tutoring approach emphasizes clear explanations, step-by-step reasoning, and adapting to each student’s learning style. I focus on identifying gaps in understanding, strengthening core concepts, and then applying those concepts to increasingly challenging problems. Whether a student is preparing for exams, improving grades, or seeking deeper understanding of science and math, I aim to build confidence and independent problem-solving skills rather than rote memorization.
