I am Pooya! I have a B.Sc. degree in Aerospace Engineering. I also took extensive graduate-level coursework in aerospace with a focus on flight dynamics and control. At Ohio University, I took extensive graduate-level coursework in two fields: industrial and systems engineering and computer science. My education lead to a deep knowledge of math, physics, and computing.
In the past, I taught technical courses to airplane maintenance technicians in a large airline in a classroom setting for 4 years. At Ohio University, I was a teaching assistant for two courses: Introduction to Computer Science (CS), and Object-oriented and Database Development (OOD). In CS, I was in charge of two C++ programming labs supervising 33 students where I helped them finish their lab assignments. In OOD, I helped 40 students write their programming projects in C# within the .NET framework. Recently I taught math and CS in a classroom setting for 2 years in a high school in Wilmette, Illinois where I taught two computing courses, one introductory in Python, and one intermediate in Java.
I have been tutoring a variety of students from middle school up to college level and adults in Chicago area, in a variety of settings: one-to-one, in groups of two or three, as well as in person and online.
My general approach is to introduce new topics by connecting those to the current knowledge level of each student. After a short introduction, I let the student attempt practice problems and make mistakes before I point them in a more fruitful direction. I adjust my lessons with specific topics or problems that the student or their parents are interested in reviewing.
Other than homework help and test preparation, I help students get ahead in the school curriculum. I even teach capable students fun and advanced topics beyond school curriculum.
I am highly organized and patient, and I provide fast response. Let me know if you have any questions or if you need to schedule a lesson in math, physics, or computing!
