Bio

Curiosity is the fuel of science—and in my classroom, it’s the spark that ignites every lesson. I specialize in transforming complex scientific concepts into simple but exciting, hands-on learning adventures. Physics, Chemistry and Math isn’t just about formulas—it’s about understanding how the world works, from the tiniest atoms to the farthest galaxies.

I am originally from India and came to USA in 2006. I hold a master’s degree in chemistry and Secondary Education from the University of Nevada, Reno. With over 15 years of teaching experience, I bring a dynamic mix of academic expertise, real-world applications, and a dash of humor to every class.

My teaching philosophy is rooted in inquiry, creativity, and relevance—because science isn’t just in textbooks; it’s in the world around us. I focus on group work and collaborative learning which fosters critical thinking skills and problem-solving ability. Teaching gets very interesting with hands on activities when content relates to real life applications.
