About

Hello, I'm Javid. My academic interests are in Mathematics and Computer Science at Stanford.

I believe effective learning is fundamental to a good life. It teaches us to reflect on our own thinking, recognize patterns, and build connections between what we learn and the world around us. These habits extend beyond education, helping us understand where we are, where we want to go, and how our environment shapes our lives.

As both a learner and educator, I am exploring how to cultivate these habits in myself and others. Effective learning is a wrestle with the material: it requires us to slow down, rephrase ideas, and pursue deep understanding rather than simply finish quickly or cover more ground. I believe that by learning to engage with the unknown, we can develop our natural curiosity into a means of becoming truly independent learners.

Through tutoring, I want to help students discover this for themselves. With the proper guidance, curiosity can become the foundation for an education that extends beyond academic achievement, allowing students to take ownership of their learning and find fulfillment in the process.

I am currently developing:

• Engaging learning tools that make effective learning practices practical and accessible
• A machine learning agent to solve an original abstract strategy game I created as a child

Stay tuned for more.
