About Arseniy

I am highly proficient in the study and application of mathematics up to the level of calculus, and I have served as personal tutor to several underclassmen at my high school. I think a fundamental understanding of math, beyond just the rote memorization put forth by school curricula, is key to further study and to myriad professions. Also, students need to develop their own method of "understanding" math and numbers, which development I am more than qualified to foster. The English language is difficult to grasp, partly because of the inconsistency between written and spoken English. Many students attempt to transfer the speech that society has influenced upon them to paper, but the intricacies and counter-intuitive perplexities of the language make that job nearly impossible for the casual speaker. Mastery of grammatical structures and idiomatic expressions in the English language is an important skill that I take very seriously, even in informal conversations with friends. It indicates (perhaps to admissions officers and potential employers) dedication, a devotion to clean and consistent structure and organization, and a higher "meta" level of thinking, all desirable qualities. Finally, the increasingly accepted culture of technology and the rapid rate of technological advancement in society are enough to justify the importance of at least a basic understanding of computers: word processing, operating systems, etc. However, it is also important to be able to visualize the operation of file systems and the like, because (and this comes naturally to me because of my high understanding of mathematics) it's an extension of the numbers game.
