About Sid
I hold a PhD in Computational Science and an MS in Applied Mathematics with research experience at the University of Cambridge, MIT, Los Alamos National Laboratory, and Florida State University.
I have taught and mentored students across various levels, including as a graduate teaching assistant and tutor, and have supervised undergraduate research projects. I have also served as a Mathematics Admissions Interviewer at Cambridge, giving me direct insight into how top universities assess mathematical thinking and problem-solving ability.
I aim to meet students where they are and help them build clarity and confidence in tackling challenging problems independently.

My approach to tutoring focuses on building deep conceptual understanding and strong problem-solving skills rather than rote formula memorisation.
I break complex topics into clear, logical steps and guide students to develop intuition through carefully chosen examples and structured practice. Lessons are interactive, with an emphasis on thinking through problems independently while receiving targeted guidance.
I tailor each session to the student’s individual goals, whether that means strengthening core foundations, building confidence, preparing for university entrance examinations such as STEP or the TMUA, or tackling more advanced Olympiad-level problems.
Lessons are typically 1 hour, though longer sessions (e.g. 90 minutes or 2 hours) are available for more in-depth topics or exam preparation.
My lessons are suitable for:
• GCSE, A-level and Further Mathematics students;
• University entrance examination preparation, including STEP and the TMUA;
• Mathematical Olympiad and advanced problem-solving.
I particularly enjoy working with motivated students who want to go beyond the standard curriculum, learn to analyse the underlying concepts, and apply them to challenging, unfamiliar problems.

I am extremely grateful to Siddhartha Bishnu for his tutoring services. His approach to instruction and ability to break down and explain complex mathematical ideas was incredibly helpful as I prepared for exams. Moreover, he is patient and meets the student where they are in order to get them where they want and need to be in terms of proficiency.
Dr. Bishnu was a mentor to me for over a year on a project in which I worked to develop advanced high-performance fluid dynamics simulations from scratch. His presentations and explanations of discretization schemes, domain mesh choices, and PDE implementation were clear and informative. He encouraged me to think about the project at a deeper level, enabling me to confidently interpret results and understand the underlying mechanics. As a result of this mentorship, we have been published as co-first authors in the peer-reviewed GMD journal.
