Thanks for viewing my profile! I have been a tutor for ten years, helping High School and College students in subjects such as Chemistry, Biology, Anatomy and Physiology and Microbiology. I have assisted with standardized exams such as SAT II in Chemistry, Biology, Science and Math Regents, and A.P Exams in Chemistry and Biology. I also tutor nursing students in classes such as Fundamentals of Nursing, Pharmacology, and Med Surg.

Although I have had traditional jobs, tutoring is very rewarding so I keep coming back to it. I approach each student’s assignment as if it’s my own. It gives me great pleasure to have my students succeed.
I have taught in various settings - 1-1 private, groups of students in 4:1 ratio, and classroom (afterschool for middle-high school & college students). This developed my skills in multi-tasking, patience, and mastery in topics. My students have scored in the 90th percentiles or above for the exams I tutored them in and had historically developed an interest in the subject they explored with me. Besides the default learning materials, such as past exam questions, flash cards, textbook, I also use supplemental materials, such as a molecular kit for Chemistry, to illustrate VSPR theory or molecular bonding.

My invented approach – CVP, is explaining concept, introducing variant (exception to the rule), then diving into practice questions. I am a huge fan of these! I have students justify why he or she chose a certain answer to assess whether the rationale is correct.

Currently, I hold a Bachelor's in Psychology with a Statistics minor and have just graduated from Registered Nursing Program at Hunter's College.

Caring, patient tutor

Sabira is great on so many levels. She really cares about the genuine success of her students. Working with her was such a blessing. She was patient, encouraging and created system and schedule for me individually so that I could thrive. She also sent me so many resources: videos, diagrams, prints that she thought would be of service, and they were. I also feel she is great choice for a teacher because she is actively in the field and going through it herself, so she is able to relay information on a level I understand better than perhaps the others I've had in the past.

Sabira is Great!

Sabira has been helping so much with my child's chemistry studies, she is so patient and smart -- Lena is much less anxious and worried and is learning how to study from someone who clearly knows how to get it done.

Med Surg 1, Nursing

Sabira is very knowledgeable and bring great energy to all the tutoring sessions. She prepares ahead of time, allowing each minute to count toward learning. I left each session feeling more confident on the material. She even fives practice questions, which are great resources for many nursing students.

Sabira is the best tutor my son ever had!

Sabira is a godsend! My son had an anatomy text to study for! Sabira, asked for his study guide / notes….. and went through each part with him . She was patient , she was so great, and made sure he understood the material. ! She reached out after his test to make sure he did well! When he took his test he said it was much easier than he thought because of Sabira’s tutoring . We are so lucky to have found her !
