Hi there! I’m Arjun, and I’m from Closter, NJ, studying neuroscience at Princeton with a minor in Global Health Policy. Throughout my entire high school career, I tutored a wide range of students in various subjects. I was also a youth ambassador for Vidya Gyan, a nonprofit where I conducted tutoring sessions on basic economic principles. My main initiative, however, was ShareBuddies, where I conducted social skills sessions for special needs students (due to the gap COVID-19 left behind!).
The subjects I tutor include: test prep (ACT/SAT), Chemistry, and Math (from pre-algebra to multivariable calculus).
At Princeton, I also served as a Matriculate advisor, supporting low-income students for a year and a half with their college applications. Through mentorship, I hope to use civic engagement and neuroscience to help the population facing neurodevelopmental and degenerative disease!
