Areas Of Expertise:
Standardized Test Prep (SAT Prep): Places a strong emphasis on SAT preparation across both the Math and Reading/Verbal sections. Backed by his own elite 1480 SAT score (750 Reading, 730 Math), Arsal equips students with strategic test-taking techniques and reasoning skills to maximize their scores.
Science (Biology, Chemistry, Physics): Highly experienced in tutoring foundational and advanced sciences, explicitly including Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Human Physiology.
Mathematics: Offers math tutoring across multiple levels, spanning foundational elementary math (from National Honor Society tutoring), Algebra, and advanced college-level Linear Algebra.
Computer Science & Coding: Provides hands-on instruction in Python programming, C++, and Computer-Aided Design (CAD) workshops.
English & Reading: Experienced in foundational reading instruction, helping younger students build reading fluency and comprehension skills.
Grade Levels: Specializes in working with high school students, while remaining fully comfortable tutoring middle schoolers (6th–8th), college undergraduates, and adult learners.
Teaching Philosophy:
"I first like to ask them to describe their thought process to me what they think the problem is asking, how they frame the question, and their logic to the answer they got. Then, I like to point out where they went wrong (if they did), and what I think the question is asking. This process keeps the student inherently engaged because they have to explain everything to me, so they don't have time to lose focus. Additionally, I feel that this process will also motivate them because they are seeing what they got wrong in real time (as they are explaining to me), so it helps want to get the next question right."
What Makes Arsal Special:
Georgetown Medical Student & Published Researcher: Currently pursuing his M.D. at Georgetown University School of Medicine and actively contributing to high-impact medical research publications in genetics and oncology.
1480 SAT Achiever & Test Prep Strategist: Scored a 1480 on the SAT (750 Reading, 730 Math) and offers strategic, score-boosting test preparation tailored to high school students.
Proven Tutoring & Workshop Leadership: Experienced in peer and youth tutoring through the National Honor Society, leading CAD/3D printing workshops, and teaching college-level lessons in bioinformatics, organic chemistry, and mathematics.
