Algebra 1

Although I have a doctoral degree, I love to teach math even at elementary level. Teaching math at school level always gives me a sense of fulfillment when I see the student understand the subject. I hope if the students understand basics well, perhaps one day they too will get a doctoral degree like me.

Algebra 2

Although I have a doctoral degree, but I have a passion to teach. I would be happy to assist a young mind to understand the nitty and gritty of Algebra so that they not only solve questions, but develop an interest in math. Once a student develops interest in a subject, they are able to solve even difficult questions on their own.

AutoCAD

With a PhD from Georgia Tech and over 15 years of experience in both industry and academia, I offer a unique depth of knowledge in Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE). I don’t just teach you which buttons to push; I teach you the engineering principles behind the geometry so you can design with confidence and precision. My Background (Why I’m a Good Fit for You): Industry-Proven Expertise: I have worked at the core of the CAD industry as a Software Engineer at SolidWorks Corporation and Geometric Software Solutions, where I developed and tested APIs for major platforms like SolidWorks, CATIA, Pro/Engineer, and AutoCAD. I understand how these tools think and behave at a fundamental level. Academic Excellence: I have taught CAD/CAE courses for over a decade, including my roles as a Special Instructor at Oakland University and a Woodruff School Teaching Fellow at Georgia Tech. I have successfully taught hundreds of students, from high schoolers to PhD candidates, how to master engineering graphics and visualization. Comprehensive Software Knowledge: I am proficient in the full suite of design tools, including AutoCAD, Inventor, SolidWorks, CATIA, Pro/Engineer, and Parasolid. Whether you are struggling with 2D dimensioning, 3D modeling, assemblies, or complex surface creation, I can help. Real-World Problem Solver: Beyond the software, I bring experience in Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and structural mechanics. If you are an engineering student trying to connect your CAD model to a later analysis in Abaqus or GTStrudl, I can bridge that gap for you. My Teaching Approach: I specialize in breaking down complex topics into actionable steps. Many students struggle with the transition from 2D drawings to 3D modeling, or with the "why" behind certain design features. I focus on building your intuition so you can tackle any design problem, not just follow a tutorial. Subjects I Cover: AutoCAD (2D Drafting & 3D Modeling) Autodesk Inventor SolidWorks (Parts,

Yoga

I have been practicing Yoga, meditation and pranayaam for about 25 years now. Honestly, speaking I was able to achieve PhD from the second ranked university in Aerospace Engineering in the US, about 30 publications in international journals and about the same number of invited talks across the US. In the area of Yoga, I have published about Mandukya Upanishad and Dvaita vs. Advaita Vedanta. I am also in the process of publication in the area of Anulom Vilom. The western world has a distorted and commercialized version of Yoga. The meaning of Yoga is just summation or unifying body, mind and spirit through various tools. I would be happy to assist in sharing my knowledge about Yoga!
