Applied Mathematics Student and Biomedical Researcher

Aisha M.

I am an undergraduate student at the University of Alabama at Birmingham majoring in Applied Mathematics on the Scientific Computation track, with a strong academic and research background in neuroscience. My coursework has included advanced mathematics, statistics, neuroscience, and computational methods, alongside practical applications in data analysis and experimental design. This blend of rigorous quantitative training and real-world biomedical research experience allows me to help students not only understand concepts but also see how they apply in real academic and scientific research contexts.

I have several years of experience mentoring and tutoring peers, both in one-on-one and class settings as an undergraduate teaching assistant. In my neuroscience lab, I regularly train new students and staff on technical concepts and advanced biomedical engineering methods. My approach emphasizes breaking down challenging material into clear, logical steps and using concrete examples to build confidence and mastery. I’ve worked with students of varying ages and backgrounds, and I tailor my methods to each individual’s learning style, whether they prefer visual explanations, step-by-step derivations, or real-world analogies.

I believe the most effective tutoring is built on patience, critical thinking, and fostering passion for the pursuit of knowledge. My goal is not only to help students excel on their current assignments or exams, but also to equip them with the strong-sense critical thinking and problem-solving skills that will serve them long-term. Whether guiding a high school student through algebra, helping a college student strengthen their calculus foundations, or coaching someone through data analysis, I bring both deep subject expertise and a supportive, encouraging approach to every lesson. I want to make learning exciting.
