About Aidin

I have been doing competitive lap swimming on and off since I was 11 years old, allowing me to tailor my technique instruction to my student's unique physical profile. For water polo, however, I started playing it in high school at 15 years old. Being a relatively newer player even after playing all four years in high school has allowed me to analyze the difference in how I improved my game versus teammates who have practiced in Chicago-based youth programs since the age of 8, which I will apply to students looking to get into the sport in order to accelerate their development as an athlete.

In the math world, I took an accelerated path in high school, taking Honors Geometry, Honors Algebra II, and self-studying Honors Precalculus to land myself in AP Calculus AB, but it goes further: beginning around my Junior year, I began independently exploring concepts in Analysis, Number Theory, Graph Theory, Topology and Dynamical Systems. Soon, I began writing down my thoughts in lists on Google Docs, even going so far as to formalize it in my notebooks. Currently, I am working on a novel approach to the Collatz Conjecture, an open problem in Number Theory. Because I truly believe in trusting the process of externalizing your hunch on how to solve a problem, painting on a canvas from a vivid internal picture, I instill in my students a critical eye that pauses to question concepts, the premises on which theories are built, and more, even when it seems silly.

About the lesson

I believe that anything that explains the world around us in a precise manner, outlined by rules, is considered math. My goal is to open my students to this new perspective and reveal how, instead of being lines in a book of magical spells, all mathematical formulas they have encountered since elementary school have meaning and how the concepts in them can be employed in various ways. In practice, what this looks like is a student asking me how an equation must be simplified and the reason for it. Then, I would cite what the equation seeks to intuitively describe and connect it back to the symbols.

As for swimming, learning how to simply control your body in water is a new challenge for anyone. Tutoring here would look like instructing students the actual technique of one of four strokes(plus corkscrew) and then giving analogies to help them get an inner feel for how to move.

Last, but certainly not least, is water polo. It is one of the most intense sports you can imagine. Kicking, grabbing, sprinting up and down the pool. It has it all, but the result of all that? A game that resembles a lot like "physical chess." Here, the typical lesson plan would consist of learning the basic mechanics of the sport—passing, catch and shoot, how to create space for yourself off the ball—then realizing how narrow of a time window you have to execute those moves, how strong your defender is, how everybody's exhaustion changes the equation. In the process, the student learns better decision-making.
