About Sundar


Bio

I simply LOVE to teach. Teaching has been my deep passion since I was young. I have taught chemistry for nearly 40 years. During my 40 years of teaching I have obtained very high evaluations from my students.
I can teach general chemistry and physical chemistry. I am very particular about helping each student of mine thoroughly understand chemistry as well as the required math and physics. I explain concepts so thoroughly that the student gets a strong foundation.

I have written a book...

I simply LOVE to teach. Teaching has been my deep passion since I was young. I have taught chemistry for nearly 40 years. During my 40 years of teaching I have obtained very high evaluations from my students.
I can teach general chemistry and physical chemistry. I am very particular about helping each student of mine thoroughly understand chemistry as well as the required math and physics. I explain concepts so thoroughly that the student gets a strong foundation.

I have written a book titled "Understanding Chemistry" with the subtitle 'By using scientific method as a unifying thread'. Also, the book I have written comes through a lot of deep thinking on my part. My passion for teaching is really deep. My students have found the approach in my book extremely rewarding. I have also released the following youtube videos:

I have a PhD from the University of Maine, a Masters from American College in Madurai, India, and a Chemistry degree from Madurai College.

Dear student, You can confidently contact me and I assure you that you will learn a lot from me (it is a constant remark made by a number of my students).

BEST TEACHER!!! (wuz here before he costs $100+/hour!)

Sundar is a hidden gem who has brought back my love for science, and helped end the dread of mathematics. He is the most encouraging and intelligent person I have ever encountered. Our lessons are always filled with encouraging GENUINE comments bc he really does love to teach. Everything is right off of the dome for him, and he can explain concepts effortlessly and in a million different ways should you need it. I have often shied away from help due to people not understanding how much help I actually need, and feeling embarrassed, but Sundar is different. He is so kind and truly wants you to succeed. He notices when I look confused, even if he has explained it 5 times already, he wants me to truly understand and will kindly continue. The way he explains the CONCEPTS behind why I have to do something, and how he connects them throughout lessons is invaluable. I am taking general chem 2 for the 2nd time, as I've failed the class previously due to lack of foundational knowledge from barely passing general chemistry 1, despite having MULTIPLE tutors then, but now suddenly everything is clicking!!! He is worth every penny and I am always excited to get back to learn with him. Learning is no longer hard, but an exciting exploration into the beauty of chemistry and the "magic" of the molecular world. What a find he is!

Thank you soooo much Aranza for all your kind words. They mean a lot to me. It is definitely so much joy for me to teach you.

I had a lesson with Sundar regarding thermodynamics in Physical Chemistry. We went through my class slides and he went into in depth detail of the slides and helped me understand the material a lot better. I went from being extremely confused to understanding the material very well in one session.

Best Chemistry Tutor Ever!

Sundar taught me Physical Chemistry for two school quarters and he has been an amazing tutor. He has helped me understand fundamental knowledge that I have never come across, but also made me more interested in chemistry. Throughout our time together, he had always encouraged me and pushed me to solve problems. He is kind, patient, understanding, and overall such a sweet tutor. He was also patient whenever I did not understand something. He was always willing to bring analogies or explain things in different ways so that I can really understand concepts. He had always wanted to make the most of the time we had together and prepared for every single lesson beforehand. It is evident that he is tutoring because he loves spreading his knowledge and seeing his students succeed. Sundar exceeds what I think a teacher/tutor should be and is an excellent choice. If you want to really learn about chemistry and get a good grade in a chemistry course, Sundar is a knowledgeable and outstanding tutor.

Smartest guy in the world

For real. Super genius and patient. Also he is full of light. I am taking Physical Chem I in college, I have poor foundational physics knowledge but Sundar makes the material seem intuitive. He fosters my curiosity and is encouraging. He is also very responsive and well organized.

Knowledgeable

Sundar is an exceptional Chem II tutor who has made a significant impact on my understanding of complex chemical concepts. His teaching style is not only comprehensive but also tailored to individual learning needs. Sundar possesses a deep knowledge of the subject matter, effortlessly breaking down challenging topics into digestible information. What sets him apart is his patience and willingness to ensure every student grasps the material. His enthusiasm for chemistry is contagious, making each session engaging and enjoyable. Sundar goes above and beyond by providing additional resources and practical examples, reinforcing theoretical knowledge. I appreciate his dedication to helping students succeed, and his approachability creates a comfortable learning environment. Thanks to Sundar, I feel more confident in my chemistry skills and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and supportive Chem II tutor.

Knowledgeable tutor

Sundar was an extremely helpful tutor. I sent him my problem set before our lesson, and he prepared all the questions in advance. No time was wasted in our lesson. He explained the concepts in detail. Our time together was very valuable.

Good Tutor

Sundar works with me to make sure I am understanding work and even when I ask a ton of questions he is happy to help.

Finally understanding work!

Sundar has worked with me for the past couple of weeks and it’s the best feeling in the world to know how to do a complex problem on my own from all the tutoring sessions!
