Pedagogy & Teaching
This is the unfiltered log from nine years of teaching physics and mathematics to students who wanted real understanding, not just exam shortcuts. From deriving kinematics using rolling bus wheels to demonstrating thermodynamics in a home kitchen, this records what DBS Classes got right, where it struggled, and why I wrapped up operations in 2025.

...and must be shared with "ZERO TERMS AND CONDITIONS".
Teaching Trajectory
Over nine years (concluding in March 2025), I worked with roughly 200 students across school classrooms, coaching batches, 1:1 mentorship, and online sessions. Every batch showed me where traditional textbook explanations fail.
- > Classrooms of 30-40 students in school environments.
- > Batches of 20-25 students at various offline centers.
- > 1:1 private tutoring tailored to individual learning speeds.
- > Online classes for international and NRI students across global time zones.
Curriculum Range
Physics and mathematics were my primary focus. When a student got stuck in chemistry or biology, I stepped in to rebuild the underlying core concepts so they could solve problems on their own.
Creative Pedagogy
I mentored students like younger siblings rather than passive listeners. No rote memorization drills. We used physical demos, street observations, and live derivations to build intuition before touching formulas:
Conducting thermodynamic experiments while cooking, and holding classes under the open sky to connect equations directly to natural events.
Explaining rotation, velocity, and force kinematics using bus wheels, moving trains, and the flight paths of footballs and cricket balls.
Psychology Node
Teaching taught me how people actually process complex information: what creates genuine curiosity, and where mental fatigue sets in. That understanding directly informs how I design user interfaces and software architecture today.

TIMELINE: Oct 2022 - Sep 2023
An experiment I cut short — not because of external drama, but because I let inconsistency and "next week" promises pile up until the channel went quiet.
Documenting the Retrospective
An honest engineering diary records failures just as transparently as milestones. I published 20 physics and math lectures on YouTube before losing consistency. Here is the three-part post-mortem on why I started, how I taught, and why I shut the project down:
