About Tarun


Bio

My name is Tarun, and I would love to be your tutor! I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Auburn University with a BS in Chemical Engineering and a Minors in Spanish. As someone who is starting medical school in the Fall, I do have experience taking and helping people prepare for their MCAT exams. I also have experience tutoring Physics, Fluid Dynamics, Chemical Engineering courses, college algebra, trigonometry, precalculus, chemistry, and biology among other subjects.

My name is Tarun, and I would love to be your tutor! I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Auburn University with a BS in Chemical Engineering and a Minors in Spanish. As someone who is starting medical school in the Fall, I do have experience taking and helping people prepare for their MCAT exams. I also have experience tutoring Physics, Fluid Dynamics, Chemical Engineering courses, college algebra, trigonometry, precalculus, chemistry, and biology among other subjects. Aside from tutoring in specific subjects, I also aim to help students develop new studying tactics to utilize for any subject material.

I have had many experiences tutoring elementary, high school, and college students throughout the last five years. As a Learning Assistant (LA), similar to a Teaching Assistant, I assisted professors for five different Calculus-based and Life-Science Physics classes. I held test review sessions, biweekly office hours and was available during class. I also tutored for Upchieve, an online service that targets subject material and college-preparatory for high schoolers. Lastly, I have experience as an AmeriCorps Teacher teaching elementary and middle school subjects. My outlook on tutoring revolves around doing whatever best helps the student learn the material. I remember constantly extending my office hour sessions as an LA when working with a student who still had questions about the subject material.

I’m confident I can help you become more comfortable with your Math and Physics-related subjects. I excelled in my AP Math (Statistics and Calculus BC) and AP Physics classes throughout High School and would love to help you develop better skills to understand your Math subjects. I am incredibly excited to work with you! Don't hesitate to contact me to schedule lessons, and I will respond promptly.

Approved Subjects

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

As a Upchieve tutor and as an old AmeriCorps Teacher, I have been tutoring students in Algebra for a few years now. I've specifically tried to focus my time on helping students with Algebra because it's the basis for all maths that you may use later in your education and in life. Personally, a strong foundation in Algebra was necessary for me to be successful in my Chemical Engineering studies.
Algebra 2

Chemical Engineering

Chemical Engineering

I graduated from Auburn University with a 3.77 GPA in Chemical Engineering. My favorite classes were more Physics/Maths-based, such as Mass/Fluid Transport or Controls Engineering. The subject matter can be confusing at times, but it always boils down to basic principles.
Chemistry

Chemistry

As a Chemical Engineering major, Chemistry and Physics are my two strongest subjects. I excelled in my Inorganic/General Chemistry classes and labs throughout college due to the tips and tricks that I taught myself to remember the material. I even earned the opportunity to conduct research with my Chemistry professor during one summer.
MCAT

MCAT

While studying for my MCAT retake, I learned many new strategies and tricks that helped me study/perform significantly better. I have also been actively involved in virtual pre-med communities during COVID times, giving me access to a surplus of resources (practice questions, study guides, outlines, and content review help). I can share the many tips and tricks I've learned to help overcome the preparation for the MCAT. Lastly, I have 50+ hours of MCAT tutoring over various tutoring platforms and many successful students who have excelled on their test dates!
Physics

Physics

Throughout college, I worked as a Learning Assistant (LA), similar to a TA, for Calculus-based and Life-Science Physics classes. I held office hours twice a week, test review sessions, and even attended the class to answer any students' questions during lectures. During days that the professor had to be absent, I would help the TA's teach certain topics to the class as well. Physics is the basis of an engineering degree and a strong interest of mine.
