Ph.D. Physicist|Advanced Math Tutor (Algebra to Calculus, SAT/ACT/GRE)

Iram S.

I hold a Ph.D. in Materials Science and have nearly eight years of experience as a Process Engineer at Intel, where I applied mathematics, physics, and analytical problem-solving to real-world engineering challenges. I enjoy helping students understand math, build confidence, and develop the skills they need to succeed academically.

I offer personalized tutoring in middle school math, Pre-Algebra, Algebra I & II, Geometry, and SAT, ACT, and GRE Math preparation. As a parent of a high school student taking advanced math courses, I also understand the challenges students and families face when navigating demanding coursework.
My teaching approach is patient, supportive, and tailored to each student's needs. I begin by understanding where a student is struggling, reviewing their classwork or practice problems, and identifying areas that need improvement. From there, we work through concepts step by step, strengthen problem-solving skills, and build a solid mathematical foundation.

My goal is not simply to help students complete assignments or prepare for exams, but to help them understand the reasoning behind the math so they can approach new problems with greater confidence and independence.
