Hi! I'm Arjun. I was born and raised in the Bay Area and am now attending the Boston University to pursue a dual-degree in Physics & Computer Science with an Engineering minor. I have been tutoring s... ince I was in High School. My first experience tutoring was through my school's AVID program for underprivileged students. I also tutored in my high school's math peer tutoring center. Through these experiences, I developed a passion for teaching that has carried on with me through college. I am currently a peer tutor at Boston University's Educational Resource Center for math, physics, and economics for all tracks including engineering and pre-med. I am also a teaching assistant for the Physics Department. I have taken teaching a step further this past semester by designing my own CS curriculum for the physics program at BU which I hope to finalize and implement as soon as next semester. Feel free to reach out if you would like to get an idea of what the curriculum looks like! As far as teaching, my philosophy is simple: the student comes first. To me, what this means is that my job as a tutor is not to answer all of the students questions, but to guide them in the thinking that will help them answer their questions for themselves. Ultimately, my goal is to help students think and learn independently by fostering a student-centric learning environment rather than a student-teacher dynamic.read more
