Study Dorm can help you do the math
Study Dorm owner Shahin Nangi has a master’s degree in electrical engineering.
In 2009, after graduating from the State University of New York with an master’s in electrical engineering, Shahin Nangi moved to Houston and started an internship at an information technology company. Even though she achieved what she set out to do, Nangi felt that something was missing -- namely, that feeling she got when one of her tutoring students excelled in an exam. In 2012, along with her husband Asif, she started Study Dorm, a math tutoring business.

WHAT THEY’RE SAYING: “I believe that there is no such thing as a student who is bad in math, even when a student is weak in that subject. We think it’s all about practice and learning about the concepts. Maybe that student missed something in fourth grade or sixth grade.” — Shahin Nangi, owner
