Introduction: I have been teaching students for past ten years either in-person or online in math, physics, chemistry, computer science, java, business and test preparation. I have completed Electrical Engineering from IIT, Kharagpur in India. I teach math courses like elementary math, Prealgebra, Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry, Precalculus, Calculus, Trigonometry, SAT Subject Tests in Math Level 1/ Level 2 etc. I tutor students in science courses like Physics, AP Physics 1 and 2, Chemistry, SAT Subject tests in Physics and Chemistry. I teach math, physics, chemistry, and computer science to International Baccalaureate (IB) students as well. I teach MYP Math, Math SL/HL, Math Studies SL, Computer Science SL/HL, Chemistry SL, Physics SL/HL. I prepare students in math and science for tests like SAT, ACT, PSAT, SAT 2. I am an experienced computer software professional. I teach computer science courses including AP Computer Science A, Java, Data Structures etc. I guide all my students on study skills. These are the key skills that help a student succeed. They include reading comprehension, note taking, test taking skill, math skill, time management, understanding (vs. memorizing), and goal setting (vs. procrastination). They help improve the grades of the students. Below are some of the reviews from my students. Knowledgeable and Patient Rajesh was very much prepared and thorough on the subject.

"Very patient." - Jia Wilmington, DE Excellent confidence building skills. I'm looking forward to observing my daughter's growth. She and I both share duplicate anxieties with math subjects. It's nice to know we can afford to give her the one on one academic attention she needs. Consistently prompt in providing constructive feedback about my daughter's growth. Since my daughter has been working with Rajesh for the past two months she has increased her math level from a third grade to a fifth grade level. He is soft-spoken, accommodating, and patient. She no longer feels intimidated with number concepts applicable to her grade level. I see her confidence growing each day.

Rajesh has been a great tutor for my sons. He is professional, friendly, mild-mannered, and very knowledgeable. My sons were able to grasp mathematical concepts more fully with Rajesh’s help, which lead to higher grades on tests and quizzes. We will continue with Rajesh during the summer to get a jumpstart for the next school year.
