Hi, you can call me Abdul. As an undergrad, I majored in Mathematics with a minor in physics. My honors thesis was in the area of Quantum Computing. My undergrad was funded by a talent scholarship. I then went on to obtain a Master's degree, also in Mathematics, with a focus on Foundations of Physics, also on a scholarship. I am currently a PhD Candidate for a Pure Math degree. My research is focused around Category Theory.

Hi, you can call me Abdul. As an undergrad, I majored in Mathematics with a minor in physics. My honors thesis was in the area of Quantum Computing. My undergrad was funded by a talent scholarship. I then went on to obtain a Master's degree, also in Mathematics, with a focus on Foundations of Physics, also on a scholarship. I am currently a PhD Candidate for a Pure Math degree. My research is focused around Category Theory.
I've been teaching college courses as part of my PhD training, as a solo instructor for various college-level courses, including a variety of Calculus courses, Differential Equations, Linear Algebra, Logic, Discrete Math, Physics 101, Pre-Calculus, Trigonometry and GRE. I have also tutored one-on-one during my undergrad years. I have a cumulative 8 years of experience tutoring one-on-one and teaching a whole class to college students.
I think the jargon in math and physics is what makes them terrifying, but I believe being able to walk through the technical lingo is very enlightening. That is exactly what I do when I try to teach. I try to translate one formal, technical language into a more human version, that is relatable. I try to walk students through a bigger picture first, before getting into the nitty-gritty. When I tutor one-on-one, I make sure I get the message across; I can tell when someone is lost and needs a guiding hand.
I only teach college level courses, and I would prefer meeting at a public place. HMU if you need me!
