Khurram

Certified Tutor

I have a huge passion for basketball and have been playing since I was around 5 years old(Go Mavs!). I have lived in Dallas my entire life and am a proud Texan! I love spending time with my family and have three incredible siblings that are obnoxious yet entertaining at the same time.

I graduated from SMU this past May, receiving a Bachelor of Business Administration degree in Finance, a Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics, and a minor in Management Science. I currently work as a Associate Financial Analyst at Bell Helicopter. I aim to pursue an MBA after gaining a few years of job experience.

As a member of the National Honor Society, I tutored students in all high-school subjects my junior and senior year. I also tutored middle-school students in an after-school program during the spring semester of my first-year at SMU. I went on to informally teach and tutor underclassmen friends throughout my last two years at SMU in all college-level math subjects as well as statistics, accounting, and finance.

I am a people person, meaning I love connecting and getting to know others. As a tutor I always strive to first get to know the student, build a friendship, and then dive into the learning content. Although I am the tutor, I love the opportunity to learn from my students. It is critical to understand that tutoring can not be implemented successfully using a "one size fits all" strategy, and I love the challenge of finding what strategy works best for each student and working with them to ensure they become proficient in that area/field of study.
