Teacher Bio
Hey friends :)
I am Kamal Das; more commonly referred by my initials “KD” (now that easier on the tongue, right!! )
I just LOVE to teach and have been tutoring for 20 years now since I was a school. I started teaching formally as a tutor for the past 5 years.
I focus on math and teach all grades and for all tests inlcluding GRE/GMAT/ SAT/CLEP. I regularly teach topics ranging from basic arithmetic to advanced calculus.
My key interest is in making math concepts easy to understand and remember; and to make you share my love and enthusiasm for the subject.
- Perfect scores in GRE math and analytical section; 97 percentile in GRE verbal.
670/677 in TOEFL
