I am an Aerospace Engineer with a strong academic and industry background, and a deep interest in explaining complex concepts in a clear and intuitive way.
I hold a Master’s degree (by Research) in Flight Mechanics and Controls from IIT Kanpur and a Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering. I have worked in technical roles at the National Aerospace Laboratories (NAL) and at MathWorks, where my work involved problem-solving, mentoring, and explaining technical concepts to peers and teams.
While I do not come from a formal classroom teaching background, I have consistently guided friends, juniors, and colleagues across school, college, and professional environments. Through this experience, I have learned how different people understand concepts differently, and how adapting explanations makes a significant difference in learning.
My approach to learning and teaching is visual and fundamentals-driven. I strongly believe that any concept can be understood when it is visualized properly and connected to strong basics. If a student finds an advanced topic difficult, I revisit the underlying fundamentals and rebuild the concept step by step based on the student’s current level of understanding.
I am comfortable guiding students in:
Mathematics (Grade 1–12)
Engineering Mathematics (basics)
MATLAB and Simulink (fundamentals and practical usage)
Aerospace Engineering fundamentals (aerodynamics, structures, flight mechanics, and core concepts)
I focus on helping students understand rather than memorize, so they gain confidence, clarity, and the ability to apply concepts independently, especially useful for competitive exams and higher studies.
