An MBA and IT professional by degree; an entrepreneur by occupation. As a father of two, I understand the value of education, and it has become my passion to talk about the subject and educate parents and teachers about schooling and teaching, especially special education and learning disabilities.

I strongly agree with the lines quoted by Joseph Addison, that “Education is a companion which no misfortune can depress, no crime can destroy, no enemy can alienate, no despotism can enslave.” Being a self-motivated person who strongly feels education and knowledge is for everyone, and there are ways to inculcate them in specially-abled beings. My devotion led me to learning quite a few things in this domain, which I now share with the world through Number Dyslexia.

An engineer, Maths expert, Online Tutor, and animal rights activist. In more than 5+ years of my online teaching experience, I closely worked with many students struggling with dyscalculia and dyslexia. With the years passing, I learned that not much effort was put into the awareness of this learning disorder. Students with dyscalculia are often misunderstood for having just a simple math fear. This is still an under-researched and understudied subject. I am also the founder of Smartynote -‘The notepad app for dyslexia’,  An app that I specifically made for dyslexic people for assistance in note-making. You can follow me on FB and LinkedIn.
