Hello! I'm Ahan, a Columbia University student passionate about making mathematics accessible and enjoyable for students of all levels. With three years of hands-on tutoring experience, I've worked with K-12 students across a wide range of mathematical topics, from basic arithmetic through advanced calculus and statistics.
Through my volunteer work with Truelove Power, I've specialized in tutoring middle and high school students with special needs, teaching subjects including math and physics. This experience has sharpened my ability to break down complex problems into manageable steps and find creative ways to explain difficult concepts. I've learned to be patient, encouraging, and persistent in helping students overcome their challenges.
My teaching method focuses on building solid foundational understanding rather than memorizing formulas. I start by assessing where each student is and identifying any gaps in their knowledge. Then I work systematically to fill those gaps while connecting new concepts to what they already know. I use real-world examples whenever possible to show students why math matters and how it applies to their daily lives. During our sessions, I encourage students to ask questions and work through problems together, ensuring they understand the "why" behind each step.
I also bring strong test preparation skills, having scored 1600 on the SAT myself. I know the strategies and time management techniques that help students perform their best on standardized tests. Whether you're preparing for the SAT, ACT, or need help with regular coursework, I tailor my approach to meet your specific goals.
I'm currently pursuing college-level mathematics including Discrete Math, Linear Algebra, and Statistics, which keeps me sharp on advanced topics while maintaining perspective on the fundamentals that are crucial for student success. I welcome any questions from students or parents and am always happy to provide additional resources or suggestions to support learning between our sessions.
