Current Position:

Since 2015, I have been working  at San Jon Schools, teaching math to 7th through  12th graders.  I have been committed to sharing my knowledge with the students and helping them grow intellectually and laying a strong mathematical foundation for their future careers. I have gained valuable skills and experience in the past  29 years of teaching and hope to do the same as I continue my career.

Previous Position:

In 1993, I started my professional career in India, teaching mathematics to high-school students. The skills acquired during this time led me to specialize in training 11th and 12th graders for competitive state and national exams like EAMCET, IIT-JEE, and NEET. Fourteen years later, I furthered my career in this field by working as a middle/high school math teacher in Mccormick, South Carolina. In 2010, I accepted a similar position in Tucson, Arizona. I moved back to India shortly a year after, channeling the valuable experience I gained into tutoring students from Asia, Australia and USA. I also had the pleasure of working as a Subject Matter Expert,  developing solutions to a precalculus textbook. My next steps in this journey took me to working as a facilitator/HOD ( Head of the math Department) for  the International Baccalaureate (IB), CBSE, and Cambridge curriculums from 2012 to 2015.From 2015 onwards working as a Secondary Math teacher (7-12 grades) at San Jon Municipal Schools, San Jon, NM, USA.
