I am a Mechanical Engineering educator with 6 years of dedicated teaching experience, specializing in core mechanical engineering subjects. I hold a Master’s degree in Designing, which has given me a strong foundation in both theoretical concepts and practical design principles. Teaching, for me, is not just about completing a syllabus but about helping students truly understand how engineering works in the real world.

Before stepping fully into teaching, I worked in a Research and Development (R&D) environment. This industry exposure has shaped the way I teach today. I consistently connect classroom concepts with real-world engineering applications, helping students see how theory translates into practice. My R&D background allows me to share insights that go beyond textbooks and prepare students for industry expectations.

I am certified in GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing), and I actively integrate these standards into my teaching wherever applicable. This helps students develop a strong understanding of design intent, manufacturing requirements, and engineering drawings—skills that are critical for both academic success and professional growth.

My teaching approach is structured, concept-oriented, and student-focused. I use PPTs and digital whiteboards to break down complex topics into simple, logical steps. I believe clarity is key in engineering education, and I ensure that every concept is explained thoroughly before moving forward.

Interactive discussions and problem-solving form an important part of my sessions. I encourage students to ask questions, think critically, and apply concepts through numerical problems and case-based discussions. Practical examples and real-life engineering scenarios are always included to strengthen conceptual understanding.

I conduct my classes online and focus on creating an engaging and supportive learning environment. My goal is to help students build strong fundamentals, gain confidence in core mechanical subjects, and develop an industry-ready mindset that will benefit them throughout their academic and professional journey.
