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
