About Ashkan
Hi! This is Ashkan. I am a 4th year Ph.D. student of Chemistry at McGill University. My research focuses on organic synthesis, chemical biology, and physical organic chemistry. I've been teaching chemistry since I was a high school student (when I became the silver medalist of international chemistry olympiad). I was the only undergraduate student at my university to be a teaching assistant. Also, I acted as a teaching assistant from the first semester of my graduate study. My teaching score in Spring 2020 (evaluated by McGill freshmen students) was 4.7. I love teaching because it’s key for me to share knowledge and make others being in love with chemistry.
I've been a highly mobile person. I did an internship in France (Ecole Polytechnique) and I was a researcher in Switzerland (University of Zurich). Living in different countries, I got the opportunity to meet people with different cultures and enjoy diversity. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, theater, playing guitar & handpan, and reading about molecular machines and nucleic acid nanostructures.

My mission is to show chemistry is not a course full of formulas and reactions you must memorize for the exam. But it's a beautiful course, full of most remarkable things, which you can learn deeply, easily understand, visualize, and see in daily life.
-Puff! And how you wanna do that?!
As we do not wander too far too fast, we can enter endless dreadful Chemistry jungle without fear of losing our way, for we have a chart: the structural theory. The structural theory is the basis upon which millions of facts about hundreds of thousands of individual compounds have been brought together and arranged in a systematic way. It is the basis upon which these facts can best be accounted for and understood. The structural theory is the framework of ideas about how atoms are put together to make molecules and how molecules react together to produce new molecules. The structural theory has to do with countless reactions, chemical properties, and physical behavior of matter. I always start teaching with STRUCTURE.

Ashkan survived me with my organic chemistry lesson at the University of Zurich. He helped me to understand organic reactions and their mechanism. He is patient and knowledgeable and his class was concise and informative. Other than chemistry concepts I learned from him, I am also inspired to be a more patient and loving person because of him. I would definitely recommend Ashkan to every student who not only wants to pass the exam with a high grade but also wants to deeply understand chemistry and enjoy it!
Ashkan's classes are awesome. It's clear that he really enjoys running the classes and he puts lots of effort into each one. I had organic synthesis lesson with him and made the most of each session. On top of being able to describe the course content and solutions to practice problems clearly and concisely, Ashkan is also a really funny and kind teacher who always seemed to be enjoying himself. I enjoyed attending his classes every week because it was evident that he really wanted the best for all students. I'd highly recommend Ashkan to anyone with any background.
I am very grateful to have Ashkan as my chemistry tutorial teacher at McGill and to know him as a person. He is very friendly and approachable. He cares a lot about his students. He is always prepared in advance and always ready to help. He is also very knowledgable about the topics. He always prepares some challenging questions to deepen our understanding of the materials or tells us some extra fun facts related to the course make us think of the "why". This is the essence of education for me. Last and not least, he is an interesing person!
