About Me

I am Ali Akbar Hosseini, a PhD candidate at the Institute for Research in Fundamental Sciences (IPM), where I conduct research in arithmetic geometry—a field at the intersection of algebra, geometry, and number theory. I completed my master's degree at Amirkabir University of Technology and my bachelor's degree at Shiraz University. My academic achievements include a gold medal in the National Mathematics Competition, a bronze medal in the National Mathematics Olympiad, and top rankings in both the master's and PhD entrance examinations. I have been teaching alongside my own studies since the middle of my undergraduate years, with more than 12 years of teaching experience to date. My teaching experience includes one-on-one remedial classes, problem-solving workshops, teaching assistance for university-level courses, and specialized mini-courses for students interested in algebraic geometry and number theory. I am passionate about helping students develop a deep understanding of mathematical concepts while strengthening their problem-solving and analytical skills.

Teaching Method

The intensity and pace of each session should be tailored to the student, with a clear focus on observing their progress over time. If a student needs support in a particular topic, my role as a teacher is first to understand how they have approached that topic so far. Rather than simply adding more “information,” I aim to help them build a stronger “structure” in their understanding. The key is to create an environment where students feel comfortable thinking freely and expressing their ideas. If we are concerned about their future academic path, we can work with supplementary textbooks, prepare for mathematics competitions, or even explore books such as Euclid’s Elements. My role is ultimately to make sure that the student develops the fundamental mathematical skills and ways of thinking they need to progress with confidence.
