About the Tutors
Hello everyone! My name is Aarav T. I discovered SchoolHouse while exploring the wonderful world of online learning and have gotten obsessed. I am currently working on several passion projects including co-founding an academic-competition subworld and have already aided in the establishment of a slack channel. I am currently learning Pre-calculus and am very competitive! If you are ever interested in math competition prep, or any general math contact me! (+DM me if you want to play some chess!). I am tutor in Reading & Writing, Enrichment, Pre-Algebra, Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry, Pre-Calculus, History, Statistics, and Computer Science.
Hello! My name is Dhruv G., and I’m from Texas. I have a strong passion for mathematics, debate, and robotics, which I explore through various activities and competitions. Currently, I am in middle school, where I have had the opportunity to participate in numerous academic tournaments. I have significant experience in speech and debate, actively participating in the National Speech & Debate Association (NSDA). In addition to debate, I am also a member of my school's VEX Robotics team. From this, I have experience in coding, building, and designing. I also love to program. I have made many websites for many of my friends. I specialize in Web Development and I know Python. Right now, I am certified in Pre-Algebra. I am working towards Algebra 1, Geometry, Enrichment and Computer Science.
Hey guys, I'm Adarsh! I am a middle schooler from Texas, and I love learning. I hope to help create an environment that fosters growth and knowledge. I also am eager to learn and absorb knowledge from other people as I am hungry for knowing new things. I love mathematics, debate, chess, cross country, track, and swimming, and I go to lots of competitions. Right now, I am training for the AMC and have had past experience in competition math. This year I hope to get a perfect score. I have a few years of experience in debate where I have participated and gotten awards in local, regional, state, and national tournaments. I am a part of the National Speech and Debate Association (NSDA). Debate is one of my biggest passions right now I strive to become better each day at it. I usually spend a bit of my free time to prep for my tournaments. In addition to debate, I play chess competitively where I have placed at regional and state tournaments but I am looking to improve at it. (I still have a long way to go, chess is hard haha) On the sports side of things, I love to swim and run. I find it really fun and it's a good way to get exercise. I hope you got to know a little bit more about me now and who I am! I can't wait to help out in the Schoolhouse community. Here's one of my favorite quotes: "An investment in knowledge pays the best interest" - Benjamin Franklin
