About Ram

If you were to ask me "What is one thing that is important to you?", my answer would be learning. I am passionate about learning and to me it is imperative; the day I stop learning is the day I would consider myself as non existent. That is the primary reason I chose to teach students, regardless of their age, as the time I spend with them is not only a moment for them to learn, but also an opportunity for me to learn as well, learn how to think like others.

For the past eight years, I have been fortunate in teaching, guiding and mentoring students from school (K-12) as well colleges, covering a wide range subjects in math, science and engineering. I have taught grade level math for elementary, middle and high schools such as algebra, geometry, precalculus, calculus and statistics. My teaching methods are based on reinforcing fundamental concepts which help in raising their self confidence and self esteem. I let them make their mistakes and take the opportunities as moments of learning and make them understand their mistakes and point out ways to avoid them. I encourage them to strengthen their perception and cognizance skills through multilevel reinforcement such as visualizing, writing, speaking and listening and use traditional board and multimedia tools.

I work closely with students and explain using different approaches if I feel that they are not digesting the material. I try to understand the root cause of the problem and try to fix it so that the students gain confidence in what they are doing. I extend the boundaries of learning by giving real life examples and analogies from different areas so that the students have a good understanding that gets embedded.

I have worked with students and encourage them to think creatively. I believe that each student is inherently talented and I work towards making them realize that they can succeed using focused learning of concepts. Many of my students have excelled and won competitions in science and math all the way from district to national levels. The work sessions with students is on an individual basis or in a small group as well as I firmly believe that students in group benefit from their peers. I make them verbalize their solution as this reinforces their knowledge and also gives self confidence in presenting their solution.

I have taught Engineering courses including Thermodynamics, Heat Transfer, Fluid Mechanics, Programming and Math Modelling. I look forward to sharing my experience and knowledge with the student community. If you were to ask me "What is one thing that is important to you?", my answer would be learning.
