About Shiv

Bio

I am really excited about tutoring because I enjoy seeing students and peers grow and improve with my help. I have experience in tutoring music composition and have coached practice sessions; for math, I have been a TA for ODE's and have tutoring experience on Wyzant.

The math subjects I can tutor include single-variable and multivariable calculus, linear algebra, and ODE, as well as topics in analysis, abstract algebra, topology, and differential geometry.

I am really excited about tutoring because I enjoy seeing students and peers grow and improve with my help. I have experience in tutoring music composition and have coached practice sessions; for math, I have been a TA for ODE's and have tutoring experience on Wyzant.

The math subjects I can tutor include single-variable and multivariable calculus, linear algebra, and ODE, as well as topics in analysis, abstract algebra, topology, and differential geometry.

I have completed a B.A. in Mathematics from Columbia University and am currently pursuing graduate studies in mathematics at Oxford's Mathematical Institute. I am interested in real and complex differential geometry and intersections with analysis and topology. Through REU programs, I have participated in research projects about low-degree points on arithmetic curves and curve counting on surfaces.

Throughout college, I have studied with Alan Feinberg, Reiko Uchida, and Matti Raekallio. I have won top awards in competitions including the David Dubois Piano Competition, the MTNA competition, and the Arthur Fraser International Piano Competition. I have performed with the Baylor Symphony and the Plano Symphony and twice in the Basically Beethoven Festival in Dallas.

I also compose music and studied with Dr. David Karp. I have composed neo-Romantic music and enjoy experimenting with tonality; my surrounding environment often inspires my compositions. I received top awards in the National Federation of Music Clubs and the Morton Gould Young Composers Awards sponsored by ASCAP.

Approved Subjects

Calculus

Calculus

I completed a B.A. in mathematics from Columbia University and have experience tutoring in calculus. Calculus lies at the foundation of my current interests in mathematics, so I find myself using calculus quite regularly.
Composition (Music)

Composition (Music)

Shiv composes music and studied with Dr. David Karp. Shiv has composed neo-Romantic music and also enjoys experimenting with tonality. His compositions find their inspiration in his surrounding environment. Shiv received top awards in the National Federation of Music Clubs and the Morton Gould Young Composers Awards sponsored by the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers. He has taken lessons with nationally and internationally renowned composers including David Ludwig, Nicholas Landrum, Jie Wang, Daniel Ott, Jonathan Holland, Dimitry Tymoczko and Nina Young. Shiv was featured as a Rising Star in the 2018 Basically Beethoven Music Festival at the Moody Performance Hall in Dallas, Texas, where he was asked to perform his composition, "Ondine."
Differential Equations

Differential Equations

I have completed a B.A. in mathematics from Columbia University, and I have taken a college-level course in ODE's. I have experience as a T.A. and a tutor for the subject, and have also encountered some PDE theory through graduate courses.
Linear Algebra

Linear Algebra

I have completed a B.A. in mathematics at Columbia University. I have some experience helping others with concepts from linear algebra and have had to frequently use results from linear algebra very often in much of my more advanced coursework.
Piano

Piano

Shiv Yajnik, 20, will be attending sophomore year at Columbia University in the fall. He currently studies piano with Professors Matti Raekallio and Reiko Uchida; Shiv studied with Mrs. Marcy McDonald and Dr. Alex McDonald in high school. Shiv enjoys performing music by a diverse array of composers, especially Bach, Beethoven, Liszt, and Scriabin, whose considerations of tonality and sonorities in both their music for piano and orchestra captivate him. He has won top awards in competitions including the David Dubois Piano Competition, the Music Teachers National Association, and the Arthur Fraser International Piano Competition. He has performed with the Baylor Symphony and the Plano Symphony and in masterclasses for nationally and internationally acclaimed concert pianists and faculty, including Alvin Chow, Yoheved Kaplinsky, Joaquin Achúcarro, Reid Gainsford, Nelita True, John Weems, Olga Radosavljevich, Yekwon Sunwoo and Alessandro Mazzamuto.
Real Analysis

Real Analysis

I have completed undergraduate and graduate courses in real analysis, including the Stone-Weierstrass approximation theorem, Fourier series, inverse function theorem / implicit function theorem / constant rank theorem, contraction mapping theorem, measure theory, and topics in probability and PDE's.
Music Theory
Probability
Proofreading

Excellent Tutor for Differential Equations

Shiv is an expert mathematician and an excellent communicator. He is very patient and explained concepts to me clearly. I feel like he really cares and wants to help me understand the differential equations we worked on during our lesson. He follows up with useful notes about problems we solved together. He responds quickly to messages and is really wonderful to work with. Thanks to him I have a much better understanding of some difficult problems in differential equations. I very highly recommend Shiv!
