About Rajiv


Bio

Learning becomes much easier when you understand why something works instead of simply memorizing facts. That is the approach I bring to every tutoring session.

I am currently pursuing a B.S. in Nutrition & Dietetics at New York University after graduating summa cum laude from Nassau Community College with a 4.0 GPA. My studies have focused on nutrition, biology, anatomy and physiology, microbiology, and related health sciences. I enjoy helping students connect ideas, ask better questions,...

Learning becomes much easier when you understand why something works instead of simply memorizing facts. That is the approach I bring to every tutoring session.

I am currently pursuing a B.S. in Nutrition & Dietetics at New York University after graduating summa cum laude from Nassau Community College with a 4.0 GPA. My studies have focused on nutrition, biology, anatomy and physiology, microbiology, and related health sciences. I enjoy helping students connect ideas, ask better questions, and develop a deeper understanding of the material.

Since 2020, I have taught weekly high school classes at the Jain Temple of New York, where I design lessons, lead discussions, and adapt my teaching to different learning styles. I also served as President of the Nutrition Club at Nassau Community College, helping organize educational programs and community outreach initiatives. These experiences have strengthened my ability to explain complex topics in a clear, patient, and encouraging way.

Before returning to school, I spent nearly twenty years in financial services, helping clients understand complex information and make informed decisions. That experience taught me the importance of listening, asking thoughtful questions, and adapting explanations to each person's needs. My goal is not simply to help students get the right answer. It is to help them understand why the answer is right so they can solve the next problem with confidence. Whether we are working on biology, nutrition, writing, or public speaking, I want every student to leave each session feeling more confident and more independent as a learner.

Approved Subjects

Cooking

Cooking

My experience combines years of home cooking with hands-on culinary instruction and the science behind food. I've been growing food and cooking at home for more than a decade, completed approximately 80 hours of hands-on kitchen instruction covering fundamental cooking techniques, and spent a year studying Food Science through laboratory experiments and recipe development. As a Nutrition & Dietetics student, I enjoy helping students understand not only how to cook, but why ingredients and cooking methods produce different results. My goal is to help students build confidence in the kitchen through practical skills and a deeper understanding of food.
Nutrition

Nutrition

I am currently pursuing a B.S. in Nutrition & Dietetics at New York University after graduating summa cum laude from Nassau Community College with a 4.0 GPA. My coursework has included nutrition counseling, diet assessment and planning, nutrition across the life cycle, food science, microbiology, anatomy and physiology, biochemistry and organic chemistry. I was honored with the SUNY Chancellor's Award for Student Excellence, the highest student recognition in the SUNY system, for academic achievement, leadership, and community engagement. Beyond the classroom, I have several years of experience teaching high school students and developing educational lessons. My goal is to help students understand nutrition concepts instead of simply memorizing them so they can apply what they learn with confidence.
Public Speaking

Public Speaking

I have developed my public speaking skills through years of teaching, professional presentations, and community leadership. Since 2020, I have taught weekly high school classes at the Jain Temple of New York, leading discussions and presenting educational topics to students, parents, and larger audiences. Before returning to school, I spent nearly twenty years in financial services, presenting complex investment and retirement planning concepts to individuals, families, and groups ranging from small meetings to audiences of more than one hundred people. I have also served as the master of ceremonies for large community events, spoken at conferences, student panels, and educational programs, and enjoy helping others become more confident and effective communicators.
