Aha Moment Education

Our vision

There is a mismatch between today's education system and the world's demand as well as the classic views on what true education is. Our vision is to create a world where every person is truly educated in the sense that they are capable of forming independent thoughts, in following their curiosity and discovering answers to problems rather than being spoon fed the answer. We help students to muster the perseverance and the resourcefulness that are needed for the formation of ideas and knowledge. The role of the teacher in this vision is not to cover the materials and syllabus in the classes, but let the student discover them on their own.

We believe in the power of online technologies to bring this vision to fruition and provide true education on a massive scale.

Dr Moj Gharibi

Founder

He holds a PhD & an M.Math in Computer Science from University of Waterloo and a BSc. in Electrical Engineering from Sharif University of Technology. He was ranked #25 out of 450,000 applicants in Iranian university entrance exam (Concours). He won a bronze medal in national Physics Olympiad. He did his education at Allameh Helli; known for its stringent admission and quality education. He is privileged to have experienced first hand during his earlier years, true education at Allameh Helli. He understands the power that real education bestows on individuals and how it helps foster great characters that are ready for the challenges of life.
Dr Moj Gharibi is based in Ottawa, Canada.

Stats:
University of Waterloo

Ranked #8 for Computer Science in North America (2020 US News report), ahead of such names as UC Berkeley, Harvard, Cornell, Columbia, and Cambridge.
Ranked #20 worldwide for Computer Science program (2020 US News report)
Ranked #1 CS program based on reputation in Canada. (2020 McLean's magazine)
Nobel Prize in Physics in 2018 went to Donna Strickland, a faculty at UW and the first woman to win the prize since 1967.

Stats: Sharif University of Tech.

Sharif University and its Electrical Engineering program is the most prestigious in the country among all disciplines (2005).
Usually only the students with a university entrance exam ranking under 100 (out of 450,000 applicants) can be confident they will be admitted to this program (2005).
Applicants for grad school from this university's Electrical Engineering program are well known to American universities, such as MIT and Stanford for their talents and superior education. In this interview they praise this program and school as the best in the "world".
Sharif has produced brilliant minds like that of Maryam Mirzakhani, the first woman ever to win the fields medal (the equivalent of Nobel prize in mathematics)

Stats: Concours & Olympiad

Concours: In 2005, the 450,000 university applicants studied for concours for one or more years to partake in a four hour exam on 7 subjects: Math, Physics, Chemistry, Persian Literature, English, Arabic, & Religion
The better their ranking, the more prestigious program they could choose. The most prestigious in 2004 was Sharif University and its Electrical Engineering program. Usually only the students with a ranking under 100 can be confident they will be admitted.
Olympiad: In 2004, for the national Physics Olympiad, only students with a GPA over 95% where allowed to compete in the Olympiad qualification exams. From the resulting pool of 10,000 students, only the top 40 were admitted for the summer program. These highschool students needed to be well versed in complex topics sometimes beyond what was taught in engineering programs in universities. They would prepare for these exams by self study of thick reference books in Physics and perhaps school bootcamps.

Stats:
Allameh Helli School

Allameh Helli is the flagship school of National Organization for Development of Exceptional Talents (NODET)
About 55,000 students ( GPA above 95% as a requirement) are tested on various topics such as intelligence tests, mathematics, and logic in a two stage exam.
Top 0.4% of applicants are accepted into the program (that is 220 students)
NODET and its schools in Tehran (Allameh Helli for boys, and Farzanegan for girls) have produced brilliant minds. Maryam Mirzakhani, the first woman ever to win the fields medal (the equivalent of Nobel prize in mathematics) was an alumnus of Farzanegan. She was a two terms gold medal winner in the International Math Olympiad as well.
A high percentage of these students in their later years get admitted to the most prestigious university programs in Iran, namely among them Electrical Engineering at Sharif University. In 2005, about 30 students from Allameh Helli were admitted to this program at Sharif.
