Hi! My name is Armaan and I am currently a premedical student at Tufts University on a premedical track with a major in Biology and Minors in Chemistry and Economics. I am in my fourth semester and have a GPA of 3.97. Course I have taken at the college level involve topics such as biology, calculus, chemistry, economics, English, government and political science, Latin language, psychology, Roman culture and Roman history.

I have over 2 years of tutoring experience including paid and volunteer tutoring through Tufts University as well as paid and volunteer tutoring prior to my time in the university setting (tutoring K-12 subjects prior to college). Most recently, I have been tutoring one middle school and one high school student in mathematics and reading as a volunteer tutor through Tufts' Leonard Carmichael Society Tutors. Moreover, I tutor 2 classmates of mine in Genetics and Organic Chemistry, as well as teaching them other biology- and chemistry-related subjects in prior semesters depending on what they needed. I am proficient in all courses listed in the previous paragraph to a degree where I can comfortably tutor them.

My tutoring approach involves helping students understand the material they are learning in a way that not only prepares them for exams, but also help them gain confidence in their work. This is done by teaching them how to think about and connect with their material in a type of assisted independence instead of me giving all the answers to the student. I also try to relate past knowledge the student may have to the material currently being studied.

Furthermore, one gripe I have with many teaching systems is how teachers instruct in ways that are often overly-convoluted and difficult to understand. I try to tie in my simpler ways of thinking about concepts when teaching students in an effort to provide a clear window through which to look at those concepts. This not only makes the information easier to learn, but the information becomes easier to recall when needed in the future.
