My name is Ahrav, and I'm a math, physics, and statistics tutor in Hanover, New Hampshire. I'm studying Mechanical Engineering and Statistics at Dartmouth, where I earned the Jack Byrne Scholarship in Mathematics. I've been interested in teaching and pedagogy for a long time and am looking forward to working with Shires. In high school, I started a tutoring service to help middle school kids with special needs better transition into high school classes, and I also worked at an EdTech startup developing learning engagement software. I had the chance to participate in pedagogical research at Boston University and figure out how students can ask the most effective questions to instructors. In college, I was a calculus tutor for freshmen and served as a teaching assistant in the Engineering department. Drawing on these experiences, my goal is to establish a strong, basic foundation in difficult concepts and equip students with the right problem-solving approach to work through difficult questions on their own.
Ahrav works with students from the following schools:
Ahrav offers in-person tutoring on or near the Dartmouth College campus for families across Hanover New Hampshire, Lebanon New Hampshire, Norwich Vermont, Etna New Hampshire, West Lebanon New Hampshire, Grafton County New Hampshire, Windsor County Vermont, Woodstock Vermont.
If you have a specific tutor in mind, you're welcome to request them directly — we'll confirm whether they're available and the right fit for your student. Otherwise, Ryan writes a personal email to understand your student's needs, learning style, and goals — then handpicks a tutor from the roster. You're not filling out a form and getting assigned randomly. If the first tutor isn't the right fit after the first session, we'll find you a better match at no extra charge.
Yes. Many families start with a single session to see how the tutor and student connect before committing to a regular schedule. There's no pressure to book in advance — reach out and we'll set something up.
Yes. Many of our tutors are strong across several subjects, and sessions can cover more than one if that's what the student needs that week. Flexibility is built into how we work.
Most of our tutors continue working through breaks, either online or in-person at the college if the tutors remain on campus during that vacation. We'll let you know in advance if a tutor has a gap in availability and arrange coverage with one of our other tutors — in-person or online — in the required subject.
Occasionally, if the student lives very close to the tutor's campus. Most sessions take place on or near the college campus or online. This keeps sessions in an academically focused environment — which tends to produce better results.
The families who see the biggest results are the ones who commit to a regular cadence — typically once, twice, or three times a week. One-on-one tutoring with a student from an elite college, who genuinely understands the material, is a fundamentally different experience from a tutoring center or an app. Most of our clients stay with us for multiple semesters.

That depends on where your student is starting and how consistently they show up. Ahrav will identify the specific gaps, focus sessions on them, and adjust as the student progresses. Families who stick to a weekly schedule typically see meaningful progress within four to six weeks.
