Ivy league Tutor for High School and Undergraduates Students

Tayeeba A.

Hi I'm Tayeeba! I recently graduated from Columbia University this May and am excited to continue tutoring students in a wide array of subjects. Teaching has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember, and I cannot wait to work with you to help reach your academic goals!

I have been a tutor for almost 10 years. During high school I tutored in 17 AP subjects that I had personally excelled in, as well as tutoring for students with SAT and PSAT prep. My SAT students typically see an average 100-point increase following one month of sessions, and consistently achieve their target scores. In college, I continue to tutor a wide range of subjects: My high school subjects include history, science, English, Spanish, and Arabic. I focus on college prep work with high school students with aspirations to pursue higher education. I assist with college counseling, crafting admissions portfolios, SAT, and PSAT prep. At the college level, I tutor general chemistry, organic chemistry, biology, Arabic, Spanish, and Middle Eastern studies. At Columbia, I have tutored fellow students in chemistry and served as a Teaching Assistant for language and area studies courses. I’ve also led resume and essay-writing workshops, helping my colleagues refine their writing and presentation skills for future careers. In my free time, I tutor youth in underserved communities and volunteer abroad in teaching programs for high schoolers in humanities and STEM subjects.

I believe that with the right guidance and encouragement, anyone can succeed in any subject. My tutoring approach is collaborative, ensuring that my students feel supported and confident in their learning journey. I also welcome open communication with parents to best support their students’ academic goals. If you’re looking for a motivated, experienced, and passionate tutor who can help you achieve your academic goals, I’d love to work with you!
