Versatile Educator: Algebra, Economics, Chess & Writing

Abdulaziz A.

Hi, I’m Aziz! I’m currently a high school senior and an incoming freshman at NYU Stern. Over the past few years, I’ve tutored students online across a variety of subjects. I know firsthand how easy it is to tune out during a standard lecture, especially with how overstimulating everything is today. That's why my goal for students is to develop a genuine curiosity and a desire to learn more. I keep my sessions dynamic and dialogue-based to ensure we are always engaged and moving at the right pace.
On the quantitative side, I tutor math ranging from early algebra up through calculus, as well as micro and macroeconomics. I’ve earned A+ grades in Calculus 4 and 5 and scored 5s on AP Statistics, AP Calculus AB, and BC. When we tackle a tough math problem, my goal is to break it down into logical steps rather than just making you memorize a formula. For economics, I draw on my experience from business internships to connect abstract textbook graphs to actual real-world scenarios, which usually makes the concepts much easier to grasp.
I also tutor writing, grammar, and chess. With writing, I can help you structure your arguments and clean up your mechanics using the same methods that helped me get an article published in The New York Times and win awards in the John Locke Essay Competition. Outside of academics, I won a national chess tournament in Uzbekistan, and I really enjoy teaching others the strategy behind the game. Whatever subject we're working on, my goal is to create a laid-back environment where you feel comfortable making mistakes, because that's the only real way to improve.
