Hello! I am Arsh Jhaj, a UBC MSc. graduate in Computer Science. I also completed a BSc. in Computer Science and Mathematics (with distinction) in May 2021, also from UBC, and received multiple scholarships throughout my studies due to my academic excellence.
I am offering tutoring services specifically for math and computer science courses at the high school or university level. This includes topics such as introductory programming, calculus, and linear algebra, all the way to more advanced subjects like real analysis, advanced algorithms, abstract algebra or machine learning. I am also happy to prepare students for tests like the SAT/ACT, or work with students enrolled in AP/IB courses, especially AP Computer Science and AP Calculus.
I have 6+ years of experience as a teaching assistant (2017-2023) at UBC Computer Science, and 4+ years of experience as a private tutor (2021-2025) having worked with hundreds of clients at the high school and university level. Among other accomplishments in my teaching career, I co-developed a new course at UBC Computer Science (CPSC 436R) on randomized algorithms alongside the professor, wrote programming scripts to facilitate grading processes in several courses and developed AI models to catch academic misconduct.
I currently work full-time as a freelance programmer and tutor and am delighted to take on new students. In the long-term, I am considering going back to school to get a BEd, as I genuinely consider teaching my true passion.
My availability is generally flexible, as I work asynchronously. I will most likely be able to schedule you at your preferred time assuming there are no conflicts with other clients. My rate is $50/hr, with some room for flexibility in cases of financial difficulties or if you purchase bundle sessions. I offer a free complementary 15-30 min consultation session where we briefly discuss your goals.
I prefer to work virtually through Zoom. I have an iPad with an Apple Pencil to ensure smooth remote presentations. On request, I can work in-person, but this would result in a higher rate as it would require a commute.
My LinkedIn handle i.e., the last part of the URL for my profile, is "ajhaj" (alternatively, if you Google my name, my LinkedIn should be one of the first results).
