Experience
Ajani has been with the company since 2005, serving as a teacher, tutor, and curriculum developer. Before joining Bell Curves Ajani spent another five years immersed in the world of test prep with a number of different companies. In the past decade Ajani has taught, trained teachers, or developed prep materials for the GMAT, LSAT, GRE, SAT, and SAT Subject Tests, among others. He has also taught English Language and Composition at the undergraduate level for more than three years, and feels as comfortable in the classroom as he does on the soccer field. In his free time, Ajani fancies himself a writer. He and a writing partner recently completed a screenplay for which they are seeking representation, and he has begun work on a novel he hopes to finish by early 2011. Regardless of what his future holds, Ajani can't really imagine a world in which he wouldn't be engaged in teaching.

Education
M.S. in Experimental & Theoretical Nuclear Physics, Florida State University
B.S. in Physics (Honors), Florida State University
B.A. in English – Creative Writing, Florida State University
Experience
Before becoming a teacher, I worked in experimental nuclear physics, doing everything from gamma-ray spectroscopy at a linear accelerator to antimatter trapping research with NASA to calibration projects tied to the LHC at CERN. Those experiences gave me a deep appreciation for how wonderfully strange and beautiful the physical world is — and they’re a big part of why I teach the way I do: clear, intuitive, and always grounded in the “why,” not just the formulas.
I prepare students for AP Physics, school-based physics assessments, and SAT/ACT math and science reasoning, and I’m especially passionate about supporting students who don’t initially see themselves as “science people.” Watching them find their footing — and sometimes even discover they love the subject — is one of my favorite parts of this work.
When I’m not teaching, you can usually find me stargazing, writing poetry, diving into a good sci-fi world, or playing video games with a cat (or two) in my lap. I’m endlessly curious and always exploring the intersection between science and storytelling. More than anything, I believe science is for everyone, and I love helping students discover just how capable they really are.

I love seeing students learn how to be successful by themselves. Witnessing them overcome their fear of math and learn to work within a system as they recognize patterns and learn to use them brings me great joy. It’s honestly also just fun to see students grow and take on new styles of learning as they develop their critical thinking and make connections that math has to the real world for themselves. Math has always been my favorite subject besides art and music. Algebra and Calculus [studying infinity] specifically fascinated me from a young age, but probability and statistics have also grown on me in my latter years. While I am yet to really make the explicit connection between my math and my music, many have said they see this in my works as a tutor and as a performing musician.

Math is my native language. From Algebra and Geometry to college-level coursework, I make abstract ideas concrete with real-world examples and visual shortcuts. Former students consistently report mastering topics they once feared, often jumping a full letter grade in a single semester. I don’t just teach formulas—I teach how to think like a problem solver, a skill that pays off on the SAT and beyond.
