Hello

Hi, I'm Armaan — an online tutor specializing in math, science, and test prep. I help students build real understanding, not just memorize answers.

About

I'm a National Merit Scholar who holds degrees from the University of Chicago (A.B. Mathematics, '23) and UNC Asheville (B.A. Chemistry, '26, 4.0 GPA). I scored a 521 on the MCAT, 1570 on the SAT, and 35 on the ACT all on my first attempt. I've taught calculus at UChicago, conducted research published in peer-reviewed journals, and am joining an acclaimed lab as a researcher this fall.

I have over seven years of tutoring experience across math, science, and standardized test (SAT/ACT) prep, working with students from middle school through college. For test prep, I have helped students across all score ranges reach their target scores. I've served as a teaching assistant for calculus at the University of Chicago and as a course ambassador for biochemistry at UNC Asheville.

I work with students one-on-one to build genuine understanding — not shortcuts. Whether you're preparing for a standardized test or trying to finally make sense of calculus, I'll meet you where you are and get you where you need to go.

Question 1 · Functions

The linear function \(f(x)\) satisfies the property that \(f(x + 2g) = f(x) + 4g^2\) for some constant \(g \neq 0\). If \(f(7) = 8g\), which of the following could be the equation of \(f(x)\)?

Question 2 · Systems of equations

\(x + 2y = p\)

\(6x - 4y = 2q\)

The solution to the system above is \((x, y)\), where \(p\) and \(q\) are constants. If \(p + q = 20\) and \(q^2 - p^2 = 40\), what is the value of \(y\)?

Question 3 · Quadratics

In the function \(f(x) = -3(x - j)(x - j - 6)\), \(j\) is a constant. What is the maximum possible value \(f(x)\) can attain?

(function() { function initInteractions() { var container = document.getElementById('practice-questions'); if (!container || container.dataset.initialized) return; container.dataset.initialized = 'true'; container.querySelectorAll('button[data-q]').forEach(function(btn) { btn.addEventListener('click', function() { var q = btn.getAttribute('data-q'); var buttons = container.querySelectorAll('button[data-q="' + q + '"]'); var feedback = container.querySelector('p[data-feedback="' + q + '"]'); var correct = btn.getAttribute('data-correct') === 'true'; buttons.forEach(function(b) { b.style.background = '#1a1a2e'; b.style.borderColor = '#3a3a52'; }); if (correct) { btn.style.background = '#1a3d2e'; btn.style.borderColor = '#4caf50'; feedback.textContent = 'Correct'; feedback.style.color = '#4caf50'; } else { btn.style.background = '#3d1a1a'; btn.style.borderColor = '#e57373'; feedback.textContent = 'Incorrect — try again'; feedback.style.color = '#e57373'; } }); }); container.querySelectorAll('button[data-check]').forEach(function(btn) { btn.addEventListener('click', function() { var q = btn.getAttribute('data-check'); var correctAnswer = btn.getAttribute('data-answer').trim(); var input = container.querySelector('input[data-input="' + q + '"]'); var feedback = container.querySelector('p[data-feedback="' + q + '"]'); var userAnswer = input.value.trim(); if (userAnswer === correctAnswer) { feedback.textContent = 'Correct'; feedback.style.color = '#4caf50'; } else { feedback.textContent = 'Incorrect — try again'; feedback.style.color = '#e57373'; } }); }); container.querySelectorAll('input[data-input]').forEach(function(input) { input.addEventListener('input', function() { var q = input.getAttribute('data-input'); var feedback = container.querySelector('p[data-feedback="' + q + '"]'); feedback.textContent = ''; }); }); } function loadMathJaxThenInit() { if (window.MathJax) { MathJax.typesetPromise().then(initInteractions); return; } window.MathJax = { tex: { inlineMath: [['\\(', '\\)']] }, startup: { ready: function() { MathJax.startup.defaultReady(); MathJax.startup.promise.then(initInteractions); } } }; var script = document.createElement('script'); script.src = 'https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/mathjax/3.2.2/es5/tex-mml-chtml.js'; document.head.appendChild(script); } loadMathJaxThenInit(); })();
