Devi Argi

Since my early days in college, I knew I wanted to teach, so I could spark the same light in fellow students as my professors sparked in me. My personal teaching philosophy is to maximize the use of tangible metaphors, relatable analogies, and aids that span all forms of learning, including visual and audio.

Prior to working at AJ, I’ve had experience teaching at all levels, from high school to advanced college chemistry (general and organic). I’ve taught also in a variety of environments as well: from serving as a teaching assistant supervising organic chemistry labs at NC State to tutoring sessions for organizations focused on improving outcomes for underserved and underrepresented students.

A sense of accomplishment is also essential for students to be motivated, and I do my best to ensure students are able to feel like they’re making progress. I try to help students see the big picture of where each abstract concept or idea is legitimately used for something useful: in industry, research, medicine, or even daily life!

Outside of tutoring, I am an active member of Citizens’ Climate Lobby, advocating for action on climate change. I also learn Bharatnatyam, a South Indian classical dance form, and enjoy writing, drawing, and painting.
