I am currently a senior at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, majoring in Biology with a minor in Medical Anthropology. My academic background gives me a strong foundation in science, and I enjoy breaking down complex biology concepts into simple, easy-to-understand steps. I know that many students find biology overwhelming at first, so I focus on building confidence and making learning clear and approachable.

In addition to my science background, I am a native Arabic speaker. I love helping students of all ages learn Arabic, whether they are complete beginners or looking to strengthen their reading, writing, and speaking skills. For younger learners, I use interactive and fun methods to keep lessons engaging. For older students, I adapt my teaching style to focus on their academic or personal goals, whether that’s improving conversation skills or preparing for schoolwork.

As a tutor, I believe patience and encouragement are key. I always listen to my students’ needs and adjust my approach so they feel comfortable and supported. My goal is not just to teach but to inspire curiosity and confidence in every lesson. Whether you want to master biology or learn Arabic, I am here to guide you step by step and help you succeed.

Amazing Biology Tutor!

Ms. Joelle is an amazing Biology tutor! Working with her this year has made an incredible difference for my son. He wasn’t very confident in the beginning, but she was always organized, supportive, and well-prepared. She explained concepts in simple, clear ways he could understand and was very accommodating when helping him prepare for tests and quizzes. Her patience, guidance, and consistency have made a huge impact on his confidence and grades. Highly recommend!
