"Hello, I am Vikranth and I go by Vik. Originally from India, I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, and a minor in Robotics. I always liked building things and learning in the process. Robotics is an intriguing field to be in right now, and it wasn't a hard decision for me to pursue my Masters in Robotics. While attending undergraduate school, I tutored for freshmen when I was a junior, and became a teaching assistant in my senior year. In grad school, I was a teaching assistant for 5 consecutive semesters (4 regular and one summer) teaching fundamental and advanced topics in machine design and robotics.

In my opinion, one can arrive at solution(s) for a problem in multiple ways. Strong fundamentals are always the key and my approach to tutoring has always been to start and strengthen from the basics. I noticed that in many cases, some simple, related examples can motivate the understanding of a concept that might seem hard to crack. Given these basic approaches that I follow, I am always open for feedback and flexible in adjusting my teaching methods based on the depth of subject and one's individual needs.

Strong fundamentals in calculus and linear algebra. Scored 100 percentile in GRE math.

Experienced tutor and teaching assistant in basic and advanced machine design courses. Bachelors and Masters majors in mechanical engineering. Worked as mechanical engineer in the past.

7+ years experience in CAD softwares - Autodesk Inventor, Creo Parametric, Solidworks and NX. Experienced in solid body modeling, sheet metal designing, drafting and GD&T.

I would like to call my sessions as interactions rather than teaching sessions. Open discussions lead to better insights within topics of interest and enhance problem solving skills especially in timed situations like during tests. Looking forward for our interaction for a better learning experience." less...
