Hi,

Nice to meet you! My name is Yusuf! I'm a junior at Purdue University pursuing a double major in Statistics and Brain and Behavioral Sciences, with minors in Computer Science and Finance. I'm originally from Phoenix, AZ, but have been living in Indiana for some time for school.

This isn't my first time tutoring. I've tutored children from K-12 at Kumon, where I worked for over 2 years. The main subjects I taught were math, from basic elementary addition and subtraction to Calculus 1 and 2 topics, and English, from teaching children to read more effectively to helping students understand themes of different classical works.

Aside from that, I've worked as an ABA therapist on and off for the last 2 years. As someone who has ADHD himself and a younger brother who is on the autism spectrum, I have a good footing and understanding when it comes to working with children who are neurodivergent. Oftentimes, it's easy to disregard children with neurodivergent tendencies as needing special assistance in the schooling system, but I've come to understand that, just as every child, neurodivergent children can learn just as efficiently as other children, just with specialized and focused assistance.

Learning is not a chore, and I find great joy in it. I was admitted in a chartered school system all my life, and despite all the APs or honors classes I completed through middle school and high school or the college classes I take now, I find that personally, the real joy of learning is outside of the classroom, where grades don't dictate your success.

I hope to share the joy of learning with you all.

See you soon,
Ahmed Yusuf
