Ahmed Aly
Greetings! I'm Ahmed. I am a senior pursuing a double major in Computer Science and Political Science. One fascinating tidbit about me is my love for scuba diving into the ocean's depths when I'm not hitting the books or tapping on keyboards. Fun fact: I explored five different majors before deciding on my two majors.
What I bring to the Strategic Learning Center is boundless enthusiasm. With a diverse background and a unique blend of interests, I'm here to make your academic journey at Amherst College fun! I'm all about encouraging innovative thinking and bridging the exciting worlds of STEM and humanities to enhance productivity. Together, we'll think outside the box and make your time here at Amherst College unforgettable! #YouCanLearnAnything
Ha Dong
Hi mates! My name is Ha, a second-year student specializing in Neuroscience & Physics, but also deeply passionate about Math, CS, Education, Visual Arts, and Philosophy! When I'm not in the classroom or at the SLC office, you might find me capturing moments through photography, sketching cityscapes, experimenting with new recipes, or seeking out unique local coffee spots.
Navigating college can be daunting, but I always believe that difficult tasks often find their way to capable hands. My goal is to support and accompany you as you cultivate a genuine appreciation for learning, enhance your productivity, and make the most of Amherst's diverse and enriching open curriculum!

Hello! My name is Isabel and I am a senior Biochemistry and Biophysics major. I am currently applying to graduate school to study biophysics next year! I am involved in a cappella here at Amherst, and I love to play the guitar as well! I am very passionate about developing personal learning goals and skills, and look forward to getting to meet and work with you! I struggled a lot adjusting to college life and academics here at Amherst, but once I finally developed the learning strategies that worked for me, I found that I was so much more successful. I am so excited to get to know you and your learning style better! You can do this!
Prakhar Agrawal
Hey! I’m Prakhar. I’m a prospective Economics & Computer Science double major, although I enjoy taking humanities classes as well. Apart from academics, I love to strum the guitar, smash shuttles in Badminton, and explore the outdoors – hiking or biking, whenever I get the time. As an international student, the challenges some students may face adjusting to the new environment, and college life in general, resonates with me. From academic pressure to stress and struggling to keep up, there is much to learn together. I would love to offer insights and tips about time management and study strategies in a collaborative conversation. (And learn from you too!)
