- You are a graduate student working through Statistical Mechanics or Mathematical Methods for Physics and need a tutor who can match your academic level.
- You are a Mathematics student at any level — from high school Algebra and Geometry to university-level Calculus — who wants precise, step-by-step instruction.
- Students preparing for competitive physics exams or standardised tests who need depth of subject knowledge rather than surface-level exam tricks.
- Students outside formal programmes — self-learners, career changers, or enthusiasts — who want rigorous, university-grade physics and mathematics coaching.
- PhD candidates or advanced researchers who need supplementary support in theoretical physics topics and mathematical formalism.
About Sriram S.
Sriram S. holds a PhD in Theoretical Physics from McMaster University in Canada, one of the country’s leading research institutions. With close to 4 years of dedicated online tutoring experience and 6 years of in-person teaching at the high school, undergraduate, and graduate levels, Sriram brings a rare combination of deep theoretical expertise and seasoned instructional skill to every session.
Sriram teaches across a broad range of Physics and Mathematics subjects, including Classical Mechanics, Quantum Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Electromagnetism, Statistical Mechanics, Mathematical Methods for Physics, and Mathematics covering Algebra, Calculus at all levels, and Geometry. His teaching philosophy centres on conceptual understanding before computation — students are guided to grasp the physical intuition behind equations rather than memorising procedures. Sessions are structured to first diagnose gaps, then build understanding through careful explanation, guided problem-solving, and iterative feedback. Sriram adapts his pace and depth to each student’s level, making advanced topics accessible without sacrificing rigour.
“What sets Sriram apart is that he never lets you hide behind a formula. He makes you understand why the physics works, not just how to get the answer. After four sessions, I finally felt like I actually understood Quantum Mechanics.”

How Sessions With Sriram Work
- Diagnostic Assessment: The first session begins with a focused diagnostic — Sriram asks targeted questions and reviews any past work, problem sets, or exam papers to pinpoint exactly where understanding breaks down and where it is solid.
- Concept Explanation: Core concepts are explained from physical first principles. Sriram prioritises building intuition before introducing mathematical formalism, ensuring students understand the why before the how.
- Guided Problem-Solving: Students work through problems with Sriram present — not watching answers being written, but being prompted, questioned, and guided to arrive at solutions through their own reasoning.
- Immediate Feedback: Errors in reasoning or method are corrected in real time with clear explanation of why the correct approach works, reinforcing understanding rather than simply providing the right answer.
- Reinforcement and Practice: Sriram assigns targeted practice problems between sessions aligned to the student’s specific gaps and upcoming assessments, ensuring continuous progress outside of live sessions.
- Session Summary: A post-session summary — handwritten, PDF, or screenshot — is available on request at no extra cost, giving students a clear record of what was covered and what to work on next.
- Progress Planning: At the close of each session, Sriram outlines the plan for the next session and checks alignment with the student’s deadlines, exam dates, or project milestones to keep momentum on track.
Whether you are working through your first university Physics course, preparing for a graduate examination, or trying to finally make sense of Quantum Mechanics — Sriram’s structured, rigorous approach is built for exactly that. Take the first step now. Message Sriram on WhatsApp today.

Frequently Asked Questions
How experienced is Sriram in Theoretical Physics?
Sriram holds a PhD in Theoretical Physics from McMaster University and has approximately 10 years of combined teaching experience — 6 years in person and close to 4 years online — across high school, undergraduate, and graduate levels. His academic background places him among the more specialised physics tutors available on the MPB platform. Research from the US National Science Foundation’s Science and Engineering Indicators consistently highlights the importance of subject-specialist instruction at advanced levels, which is precisely what Sriram offers.
What levels does Sriram teach?
Sriram teaches students from high school through to PhD level. He is well-suited for students in secondary education tackling Physics and Mathematics for the first time, undergraduates needing rigorous university-level support, graduate students working through advanced theoretical coursework, and PhD candidates requiring targeted supplementary guidance in theoretical physics or mathematical methods.
Does Sriram help with assignments and projects?
Yes. In keeping with MPB’s academic integrity policy, Sriram guides students through assignments, problem sets, and projects — building understanding so that students can complete and submit their own work with confidence. He does not complete work on behalf of students. Support for homework, lab reports, and coursework preparation is available across all subjects he teaches.
What happens in the first session?
The first session begins with a structured diagnostic. Sriram asks questions, reviews any available coursework or exam papers, and identifies specific gaps in understanding. From there, he outlines a personalised plan covering what will be addressed in upcoming sessions and how the approach will be tailored to your level, subject, and deadlines. There is no generic one-size-fits-all structure.
How is Sriram different from a general physics tutor?
Sriram’s PhD-level expertise in Theoretical Physics means he teaches from a position of deep subject mastery rather than surface-level familiarity. He covers topics — including Quantum Mechanics, Statistical Mechanics, and Mathematical Methods for Physics — that many generalist tutors are not equipped to teach at graduate level. His approach prioritises physical intuition and conceptual rigour over rote problem-solving.
“Theoretical Physics tutors with genuine graduate-level depth are rare in the online tutoring space. What distinguishes the best among them is not just subject knowledge, but the ability to translate abstract formalism into student understanding — and that pedagogical skill is developed through sustained teaching practice alongside serious research.”
