Hello, my name is Yara, and I’m a dedicated tutor with over a decade of experience supporting students from kindergarten through college in math, science, reading, writing, and SAT prep. I hold a degree in Psychological and Brain Sciences from the University of California, Santa Barbara, which allows me to combine subject expertise with a neuroscience-based approach to learning.

This means I focus on clear explanations, proven study strategies, and helping students understand how to learn effectively. not just memorize for the test!

I’ve worked with students across many levels: building strong foundations in younger learners, guiding high schoolers through advanced math and science, and supporting college students in demanding courses like chemistry and precalc. My students appreciate that I’m patient, structured, and encouraging while still keeping them challenged. If you’re looking for a tutor who combines academic strength with a practical, research-based approach, I’d be glad to support your goals!

Wonderful Tutor

I can’t recommend Yara enough! She makes every session easy to follow and super productive while keeping things relaxed and positive. She explains tough concepts clearly, is patient when I need extra time, and always comes prepared with helpful tips and resources. What stands out most is how encouraging she is—she genuinely wants you to succeed and you can feel that in every lesson. My confidence and understanding have grown so much since working with her, and I actually look forward to tutoring now. If you’re looking for someone who is professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive, Yara is the best.
