Class overview
I seek to create equitable learning environments. Teachers have a unique responsibility to recognize social hierarchies, even those students may be unaware of, and mitigate inequity as much as possible. I strive to create learning environments that are equitable, which to me means students are validated, supported and challenged. I have sought intentional learning opportunities to build my skills in areas like communicating within the context of other cultures, using student-centered and culturally-mediated instruction, and viewing myself as a facilitator of education versus its keeper. I seek never to suffer from “narration sickness” wherein teachers are tasked with depositing their information into students. I have witnessed this paradigm often as a student in STEM courses. Too frequently Electronics professors approach difficult, socially complex issues, such as those related to Device internal physics, from only the scientific perspective. By not incorporating students’ experiences, the significance of the issue is often lost. Higher education, when viewed as a process of critical inquiry performed by students and teachers as equals can be transformative and lead to social change. I therefore teach content centered around discussions on complicated and controversial issues related to earth system processes that draw upon the students’ experiences. This form of progressive, problem-solving education provides a means of empowerment for and increases participation by under-represented groups in lifelong learning. Through my teaching, I strive to provide students with the skills and experience to be independent learners once they have graduated.

Vikas has a special gift for breaking complex mathematical formulas and making them understandable. I've seen a notable increase in my comprehension and confidence as a student who has frequently found maths difficult. Vikas is a great option for any kid who needs help in maths because of his kind nature and flexible scheduling

I can whole heartedly say Vikas is an outstanding algebra tutor.He explains diffcult mathematical ideas and gives me tailored feedback on my work and makes extra material to help my understanding for difficult algebric topics. He carefully organises our lesson plans . Vikas is always available, enquires about my academic progress, and offers further support when needed. I would recommend Vikas as a tutor to anyone searching for a dedicated and knowledgeable guide in their academic aspirations.

Vikas is an exceptional tutor with extensive knowledge of algebra. What makes his different is his desire to help his student succeed and his patience. Vikas has been engaged in different academic programs since middle school and has been an active member of the debate team and is all set to become a Student Ambassador .Despite being a part of so many extra curricular activities he manages to get an "A" grade consistently.

Vikas has been a lifesaver in providing a deep understanding of the complex topics in Algebra, making my experience throughout this learning journey positive. His teaching style has enabled me to grasp complex concepts in minutes. I'm excited to continue taking classes with his throughout my academic year. If anyone is looking for a solution for studying complex topics, then Vikas is the answer.

Vikas is a fantastic tutor who genuinely wants to see his pupils succeed. He painstakingly went over the algebraic ideas with me as many times as necessary to make sure I understood them. With each lesson, Vikas commitment to teaching and enthusiasm for the material were evident. I felt at ease and secure enough to ask questions because of the encouraging and upbeat atmosphere he fostered in the classroom. I'm really appreciative of his advice and assistance!
