About tUP

I'm Anand, and I have a B.S. and Ph.D., both in Physics from MIT, with work in medical physics and computational astrophysics. (Yes, I'm technically a rocket scientist.) As an undergraduate and graduate student, I understood the way my friends and I needed to approach quantitative subjects.

Since 2014 I have had a freelance tutoring business, working with high school and college students to improve their performance in math, physics, computer science, and chemistry classes. These are very capable students, yet they struggled in their math and / or science courses. They had been succeeding on their general intelligence, and then found they needed a more intentional way to learn.

While tutoring I see that the current education system inadequately prepares them for the approach required for college success.

Analyzing how I learned physics, math, and computer science to complete my PhD, I developed methods for students to more effectively learn these subjects.
