University Professor Specializing in Math and STEM

Pedram F.

I hold a Master’s degree in Computer Science from Johns Hopkins University and a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Maryland, where I have also served as an adjunct professor for the past 15 years. During this time, I was honored with a teaching excellence award, recognizing my commitment to making complex material accessible and engaging. My background blends deep academic training with decades of practical teaching and tutoring experience, giving me a unique perspective on how to help students master difficult concepts.

I have been teaching and tutoring in various settings for more than 40 years. Over that time, I have learned that no two students learn the same way. I take pride in connecting with students at their level, tailoring my explanations to fit their background, and adjusting my pace to match their comfort. Patience is one of my strongest teaching qualities—I work carefully to ensure that students not only understand the material but also gain the confidence to apply it independently. My students often comment on how approachable and encouraging I am, which makes the learning process more enjoyable and less intimidating.

My teaching style is interactive and student-centered. I believe that learning happens best when students are actively engaged, so I encourage dialogue, questions, and problem-solving throughout each session. I am highly experienced in tutoring high school mathematics and physics, but I also work with college-level students in areas such as calculus and advanced physics. Whether a student is preparing for exams, strengthening foundational skills, or aiming to excel in advanced coursework, my goal is to create a supportive learning environment that helps them succeed and enjoy the process along the way.
