About Arsen

Bio

Dear,

My name is Arsen, and I graduated from the Physics and Mathematics Specialized School, affiliated with Yerevan State University. I went on to complete my Master’s degree in Physics/Biophysics at Yerevan State University (1995–2000) and earned my Ph.D. in Biology from Yerevan State Medical University in 2008, focusing on the effect of electromagnetic fields and pharmacological agents on the neuronal and myocardial membranes of snails.

Dear,

My name is Arsen, and I graduated from the Physics and Mathematics Specialized School, affiliated with Yerevan State University. I went on to complete my Master’s degree in Physics/Biophysics at Yerevan State University (1995–2000) and earned my Ph.D. in Biology from Yerevan State Medical University in 2008, focusing on the effect of electromagnetic fields and pharmacological agents on the neuronal and myocardial membranes of snails.
Alongside my scientific work, I have always maintained a strong commitment to teaching and mentorship. I have over ten years of experience tutoring mathematics at all levels up to AP Calculus BC, and physics at both high school and college levels, including AP Physics 1, 2, and C (both Mechanics and Electricity & Magnetism). I have worked with students from elementary through high school, primarily in one-on-one tutoring contexts. Whether volunteering, teaching in Armenia, or informally supporting Duke students and my own children’s classmates, I find great joy in making complex material understandable and engaging.

My teaching philosophy is grounded in the belief that if a student does not understand a concept, it is my responsibility to find a better way to explain it. I view the ability to clearly teach a subject as evidence of deep understanding, and I always take time to master a topic before explaining it. If a student struggles with an idea, I adapt my approach until it resonates with them. My goal is not just to teach material, but to inspire confidence, curiosity, and a lasting interest in science and mathematics.

Algebra 1

I graduated from the Physics-Mathematics Specialized School in Yerevan, Armenia — recognized among the top 10 schools globally in 2013. I then pursued higher education at Yerevan State University, earning both my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Physics, followed by a PhD in Biology/Biophysics. Over the past decade, I have combined rigorous academic training with extensive teaching experience, providing private tutoring in Physics and Mathematics to high school and university students. This long-term engagement has honed my ability to communicate complex scientific ideas in an accessible and engaging manner. My research career has taken me across international institutions. I have worked as a research student in Japan and held postdoctoral and research scientist positions at both Stony Brook University and Duke University in the United States. These roles have enriched my interdisciplinary expertise and deepened my focus on biophysics and related fields.

Extremely Helpful and Knowledgable

I can't say enough good things about Mr. Arsen. He was incredibly patient and always made sure I truly understood the topics I was struggling with, specifically Newton's Laws, circular motion, and gravitation. What really stood out was his ability to find easier ways to explain these complex concepts and provide step-by-step guides for tackling different types of questions related to them. He taught me all of this in just three sessions! He was willing to spend as much time as needed to ensure I grasped each step before moving on, and I really appreciated that he would test my understanding along the way. Thanks to him, I feel much more confident for my upcoming physics quiz!

Very Knowledgeable, Patient, Understanding, and Helpful Tutor

Dr. Arsen is a very knowledgeable professor, he explains everything to the best of his ability to make sure that you understand the material. He explained the very difficult topics from physics as simple as possible where it was easy for me to understand. He was willing to spend as much time as he can with me to make sure I really understood the topics that I was struggling with. I feel very confident that Dr. Arsen prepared me for my physics class. I can say a lot of great things about him!
