Rohan Paranjpe

Rohan approaches every student as more than a learner in a subject area. He takes time to understand where their anxieties, drives, and motivations come from, then uses that insight to guide, reassure, and challenge them in the right balance. Outside of tutoring, his practice of meditation and time in nature inform his patient, grounded teaching style.

• Standardized Testing: SAT, ACT, GRE (Quantitative)
• Subjects: Mathematics (Calculus, Linear Algebra, Discrete and Combinatorial Math, Algebra, Precalculus), Physics (Mechanics, E&M, Thermodynamics, Waves, Quantum Mechanics), Statistics and Probability, and Computer Science (from introductory programming to advanced topics like distributed computing, data structures, and algorithms).
• He also mentors students exploring machine learning and AI, bridging traditional problem-solving with modern computational thinking.

Rohan earned his M.S. in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University, specializing in Dynamic Control and Optimization, and supplemented his studies with coursework in game theory, convex optimization, and quantum optics. He completed his B.S. in Physics (Honors) at the University of Texas at Austin, where he wrote a thesis on chaotic instabilities in nuclear fusion reactions.

Before that, at R.L. Paschal High School, Rohan focused on math and physics, served as president of the Ping Pong Club, and competed in UIL contests for computer science and mathematics. He also wrote a physics paper for the Siemens Research Competition that helped him earn admission to Caltech, a path he ultimately chose to forgo in favor of new directions.
