Information About Raghpat:

Personal Description:

UK educated IT professional with a Ph.D in numerical simulation of 3D crack problems using weight function techniques. Over the years I have worked in various industries such as nuclear, CAD/CAM/CAE modelling and most recently in the investment banking world as a senior systems support analyst. I have spent nearly 14 years working in Tokyo, Japan.

I have a strong engineering background and possess ample knowledge to teach mathematics (pure & applied) and physics up to 'A' level and beyond. Further, I have programming knowledge in various computer languages such as Fortran, Excel VBA, C, and C++.

I want to pursue what I enjoy the most, which is teaching kids/students/adults. I am highly motivated individual, and have a very friendly character.

Teaching Experience:

2004 to 2005 Part time Private Tutor (Member of Personal Tutors)
Taught English, Mathematics (pure & applied), Physics and Mechanics at various levels, from
elementary to pre-university level (A Level). Student ages ranged from 5yrs to 21yrs old.
I also taught English and Math's to a special needs 5yr old boy.

Tutoring Approach:

My approach to teaching is based upon focusing attention on the basic principles of the topic. I strongly believe if the basics is understood then the rest fits together like a puzzle. I believe once should only move to higher levels in any topic once the fundamental is understood.

Whenever I teach I like to give as many examples as possible. I also like to challenge students by throwing in difficult problems to make them aware how one should think in order to solve them. This kind of mental simulation is lacking in to days education.

Qualifications:

• 1992 Ph.D in Numerical Simulation of 3D Defects using Weight Function Techniques, University of Portsmouth
• 1987 M.Sc., in Offshore Engineering, Cranfield Institute of Technology, Bedfordshire
• 1986 B.Sc.(Hons.) in Nuclear Engineering, Victoria University of Manchester, Manchester
