I am a PhD candidate in Petroleum Engineering at the Colorado School of Mines, where I maintain a 4.0 GPA and hold a teaching assistantship. My academic background spans over a decade of university-level education across three countries, and I have been involved in formal teaching and tutoring since 2015. I have delivered guest lectures on engineering topics to undergraduate students, led laboratory sessions, and held regular office hours providing one-on-one academic support. Prior to my current position, I served as a teaching assistant at the University of Wyoming and King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals, where I supported students in mathematics, physics, and engineering sciences.
My tutoring approach centers on building genuine understanding rather than memorization. I work to identify where a student's conceptual gap lies, then construct explanations from first principles using real-world examples, a method I find particularly effective for mathematics and physics. I have worked with undergraduate and graduate students in both classroom and one-on-one settings, adapting my communication style to suit different learning backgrounds and levels of prior knowledge. I also have experience helping students prepare for graduate admissions exams, particularly the quantitative reasoning sections of the GRE.
I am fluent in both English and Arabic, which allows me to support a broader range of students. With 10 peer-reviewed publications and years of research experience, I bring a depth of subject knowledge that I translate into clear, patient, and effective instruction. I am committed to helping students build confidence and achieve their academic goals.

Approved Subjects

GRE

GRE

I am a PhD candidate in Petroleum Engineering at Colorado School of Mines, where I also serve as a Teaching Assistant and guest lecturer for undergraduate engineering courses. My academic background spans rigorous quantitative coursework in mathematics, physics, and data analysis, directly aligned with GRE Quantitative Reasoning. I have extensive experience breaking down complex technical concepts for students at varying levels, making abstract problem-solving approachable and systematic. My research and teaching experience have sharpened my ability to guide students through GRE preparation with clarity and confidence.
Physics

Physics

I am a PhD candidate in Petroleum Engineering at Colorado School of Mines, with a strong foundation in applied physics including fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and mechanics of materials. My research involves high-pressure, high-temperature systems and subsurface flow modeling, both of which require deep fluency in core physics principles. As a Teaching Assistant and guest lecturer for undergraduate engineering courses, I regularly help students connect physical concepts to real-world applications. I bring a clear, methodical approach to tutoring that makes challenging physics topics accessible to students at all levels.
Prealgebra

Prealgebra

I am a PhD candidate in Engineering at Colorado School of Mines, with years of experience teaching and tutoring mathematics at various levels. My academic training required mastery of foundational math concepts, including arithmetic, fractions, ratios, and introductory algebra, which form the backbone of prealgebra. As a university Teaching Assistant, I have developed a patient, step-by-step teaching style that builds student confidence and fills gaps in foundational understanding. I enjoy working with younger or beginner students and tailoring explanations to make math feel logical and manageable rather than intimidating.
Proofreading

Proofreading

I am a PhD candidate at Colorado School of Mines with over 10 peer-reviewed publications, giving me extensive hands-on experience in academic writing, editing, and proofreading across technical and scientific disciplines. My research background has sharpened my eye for clarity, precision, grammar, and structure, skills I apply whenever reviewing manuscripts, reports, or student writing. I have served as a peer reviewer for academic journals and regularly assist in refining written communication for professional and academic audiences. Whether working on essays, research papers, or professional documents, I help students and writers elevate the quality and coherence of their work.
Trigonometry

Trigonometry

I am a PhD candidate in Engineering at Colorado School of Mines, where trigonometry is a fundamental tool in my daily research and coursework involving wave analysis, signal processing, and subsurface modeling. My engineering background required extensive application of trigonometric functions, identities, and geometric relationships to solve complex real-world problems. As a university Teaching Assistant, I have helped undergraduate students strengthen their mathematical foundations by connecting abstract concepts to practical, visual examples. I bring a structured and intuitive tutoring approach that helps students build genuine understanding rather than simply memorizing formulas.
