Vairam first fell in love with tutoring when he was 15 years old and helped a college student raise her physics grade from a D to an A. Decades later, he still relishes tutoring, particularly how wonderful it is to be part of students' lives as they transition to young adults. In addition to tutoring, Vairam enjoys taking interesting photographs and videos at dawn, writing poetry, and designing new, healthful recipes. He also loves music and dancing, and has participated in and/or organized five dance-a-thons. Vairam is the Director of Advantage Testing of Long Island.
