Hello! My name is Aakash, and I am passionate about helping students transform their math abilities. My academic journey has always been driven by analytical rigor, leading me to achieve a 1550 on the SAT, including a near-perfect 790 in the Math section. Currently, I am pursuing my degree in chemical engineering at Purdue on a Presidential scholarship. This allows me to not only teach students how to solve a problem but also why the math works the way it does.

Hello! My name is Aakash, and I am passionate about helping students transform their math abilities. My academic journey has always been driven by analytical rigor, leading me to achieve a 1550 on the SAT, including a near-perfect 790 in the Math section. Currently, I am pursuing my degree in chemical engineering at Purdue on a Presidential scholarship. This allows me to not only teach students how to solve a problem but also why the math works the way it does.
My tutoring experience began at Mathnasium, where I worked one-on-one with a diverse range of K-12 students. During my time there, I specialized in subjects ranging from foundational arithmetic to advanced Algebra, Geometry, and Calculus. This experience was pivotal in shaping my problem focused approach to tutoring; I’ve found how to best target high school struggles. By identifying and repairing these foundational gaps while teaching advanced curriculum, I help my students build confidence necessary to succeed in the SAT and AP courses.
When it comes to the SAT and ACT, I believe that the difference between a 650 and a 790 is about strategy. Having navigated the college admissions process recently myself, I understand the pressure students face. My tutoring style is direct, efficient, and results-oriented. I focus on the specific mental math shortcuts and time-management habits that turned me into a 99th-percentile scorer. My goal is to give every student I work with the competitive edge they need to reach their goals.
