Hello! My name is Zeynab M., and I am a Ph.D. graduate in Engineering from Northwestern University, where I earned my Ph.D. degree. With nearly 11 years of experience teaching mathematics, physics, and engineering, I have worked with students from high school (ages 15-18) to adult male and female professionals. I have taught in classrooms and one-on-one, helping students grasp complex concepts and reach their academic goals.

My background includes a Ph.D., Master’s, and Bachelor’s in Chemical Engineering. I’ve served as a Teaching Assistant and Instructor, leading undergraduate courses in calculus, physics, and engineering, and have worked with over 2,000 students across the USA. Additionally, I have extensive tutoring experience in AP Calculus, Calculus I-III, Differential Equations (ODE & PDE), AP Physics, college-level physics, and mechanical engineering topics such as Statics, Dynamics, Vibrations, Mechanics of Materials, Thermodynamics, Heat transfer, Fluid Mechanics, and Control Systems. I also specialize in CAD Design using SolidWorks, MATLAB programming, and Finite Element Modeling.

My teaching approach follows a step-by-step problem-solving strategy, ensuring students build a strong foundation and master difficult topics. I tailor each lesson to individual learning styles, making complex concepts more accessible. Real-world applications further demonstrate the practical relevance of theoretical knowledge.

I have helped students succeed by identifying their challenges and adapting my methods to their needs. Whether preparing for an exam, tackling an assignment, or mastering a difficult topic, I am dedicated to guiding you toward success.

Very skilled and efficient

Zeynab helped me with an advanced graduate-level fluid mechanics class that included the use of some advanced computational fluid dynamics professional software. He was very on top of things and prepared for each lesson. He walked me through every step and made sure I understood everything. Before working with this tutor, I was on the verge of failing the course a second time and getting kicked out of my program. He single-handedly saved my academic career. I performed well on the remaining assignments and exams and got a decent grade in the course. Highly recommend this tutor for advanced material.

Great tutor!

We had our first tutoring session with Dr. Zeynab for Calculus today. Dr. Zeynab is very patient, attentive and explained the steps very thoroughly. My daughter left the lesson feeling more confident with the topics discussed. She was impressed with how well Dr. Zeynab explained it all. It was easy for her to get answers to her questions. We will definitely return for more lessons.
