Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

One of America s most important educational innovators, Arvin Vohra has transformed the lives of hundreds of students with his rigorous and inspiring approach to math. His company, Arvin Vohra Education (AVE), provides individuals and institutions with groundbreaking educational solutions, including the Arvin Vohra Accelerated Math Curriculum, the Rapid Analytical Reading Method, and the Integrated SAT Math Curriculum.Arvin Vohra's passion for educational innovation began while he was studying at the Landon School in Bethesda, MD. Frustrated by the limitations he perceived in standard education, he began to test the limits of a different type of approach. He learned algebra in a few weeks to advance a level in math, and even attended college courses as early as eighth grade. In high school, he received a score of 5 on 10 AP exams to become an AP National Scholar. For 6 of those exams, he did not take the corresponding AP class, and instead relied on intensive outside study. He was also a National Merit Finalist, with the highest SAT and PSAT scores in his graduating class. During this time, Arvin worked actively as a tutor for younger students. At Brown University, his passion for educational innovation continued to grow. He worked as a tutor and teacher as part of the Wheeler School's Aerie Program, where he designed accelerated and nontraditional curricula for students ranging from second to eighth grade. Later, he worked as a consultant for the Hamilton Institute for Learning Differences. After graduating from Brown University with a B.Sc. in mathematics, he received perfect scores on both the GRE and the GMAT, finishing each test with well over an hour to spare. Arvin Vohra currently resides in Bethesda, MD
