I've spent years teaching people STEM, one way or another. As a teaching assistant with Brainy N Bright, I gave students individualized instruction tailored to their pace, tracked their progress across sessions, and kept parents updated so learning continued outside our time together. Before that, I ran my own player development training business for three years, coaching youth athletes one-on-one and in small groups — which is really where I learned how to break a skill down into its parts...
I've spent years teaching people STEM, one way or another. As a teaching assistant with Brainy N Bright, I gave students individualized instruction tailored to their pace, tracked their progress across sessions, and kept parents updated so learning continued outside our time together. Before that, I ran my own player development training business for three years, coaching youth athletes one-on-one and in small groups — which is really where I learned how to break a skill down into its parts and rebuild it with someone, patiently, until it clicks.
On the academic side, I'm a Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences student at the University at Buffalo, and I work as a research intern at Rutgers University applying statistical modeling in Python to a large clinical dataset — so the math I teach is math I use. My own coursework runs the full STEM sequence from Algebra through Calculus, with strong grades throughout, including an A in Calculus I, which means I remember exactly where each of these courses tends to trip students up, because I worked through the same sequence myself not long ago.
I tutor Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Precalculus, and Statistics. My approach is to find the specific point where a concept stopped making sense — not re-teach the whole unit from scratch — and rebuild from there with practice problems until it's solid. I'm fluent in Arabic and conversational in French and Spanish, and happy to work in another language if that helps a student feel more comfortable. I'm responsive, consistent, and I show up prepared every session.
