Kavian Aldavoud
I’m Kavian, a UBC Biology grad and IB alum from West Vancouver Secondary. Before starting my own practice, I worked at another tutoring academy, helping over 30 students raise their grades and confidence. What sets me apart? I’m young, so I’ve actually had many of the teachers my students have now—and I remember what it’s like to struggle.
I can say from firsthand experience that a math PhD can’t break things down for students who are genuinely stuck. I’ve been there, and I had to figure out how to learn myself. Now, I make that process faster and easier for my students, using proven strategies with great results.
The best part of my job is helping my students realise what they're capable of.
