Shyam: Oak Park tutor

Certified Tutor

I graduated from Rutgers University with a Bachelor of Arts in Applied Physics and Mathematics. I've tutored friends and family since I was a freshman in high school, and tutored Calculus at Bergen Community College. My study of both mathematics and an applied science has helped me to develop an appreciation for the practical aspects of math. Have you ever sat in class and wondered, "when am I ever going to use this?" I am here to help you answer that question. It's important to me that you understand the real-world practicality and significance of the subject. I want to help you absorb the information and paint a clear, concrete image in your mind of the concepts at hand. When math is just numbers and symbols, it can be scary. But when we turn it into something realistic that you can transform into engineering, chemistry, or even finance, it becomes enjoyable. That is why I love math, and that joy is what I strive to instill in my students. Math can be a bridge to parts of your mind you never ever knew existed. My other interests include watching Movies, Drawing and Character Design, and Tae Kwon Do, which I've achieved a 1st Degree Black Belt in since I was 13, and I'm still practicing to this day!
