I have a deep passion for math, physics, and engineering — and I love finding ways to bring those subjects to life. I've completed advanced coursework in mathematics and enjoy applying what I've learned through programming, AI, and CAD to build things like competitive robotics systems and data-driven models.
Outside of tutoring, you'll probably find me at my 3D printer prototyping my next design or leading my school's physics club. I genuinely love helping other students find their footing in subjects that can feel intimidating at first — because once things click, it's an incredible feeling.
Hey, I'm Keval!

I've spent a lot of time working with young people in all kinds of settings, from camp counseling to teaching kayaking skills to Boy Scouts — so I know how to make learning engaging and keep things fun. I'm also an Eagle Scout myself, which means patience and persistence are kind of my thing.
Outside of math, I'm into jiujitsu, hiking, trivia, and foreign films. I bring that same curiosity and energy to every session, and I can't wait to help students build real confidence in math!
