Hello!

I’m passionate about helping students build confidence and truly understand the subjects they’re learning. Whether a student is struggling with a concept or wants to get ahead, my goal is to make learning clear and encouraging. I currently focus on working with students in pre-algebra, Algebra I, and PSAT/SAT preparation.

I’ve tutored students from elementary school through college in math, in both formal and informal, in-person settings. With a strong STEM background and coursework through Calculus IV, I break down both foundational and advanced concepts into manageable, intuitive steps. I also support elementary and middle school students in science, as well as college applicants with essays and academic projects.

I earned my BSE in Bioengineering from the University of Pennsylvania. My research experience in molecular biology labs and work in a startup environment strengthened my analytical thinking and problem-solving skills. During college, I worked as a teaching assistant, supporting students and troubleshooting technical challenges in upper-level courses.

I take preparation seriously and tailor each session to the student’s learning style to ensure our time together is productive.

If you’re looking for a patient, supportive tutor who emphasizes clarity and long-term understanding, I’d love to work with you!

Approved Subjects

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I have an engineering background with a good understanding of math. I have recently reviewed Algebra 1 and know how to teach it to others during my free time.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

I excelled in Algebra 2 Honors back in school, and with a little bit of a review/preparation before the session, I confident I will be able to help you improve your skills and math grade.
Elementary Math

Elementary Math

I have a BSE in Bioengineering, with a strong foundation in math and analytical skills. I tutor elementary, middle, and high school students in math, focusing on helping them understand the reasoning behind each solution rather than relying solely on quick tricks or rote methods. My approach encourages students to be more proactive during tutoring sessions, develop independent problem-solving skills, and truly grasp the concepts they are learning so they can reconstruct or derive forgotten facts using their understanding. I also check for any knowledge gaps and make sure to address them before moving on, unless the student is short on time for an upcoming test.
Prealgebra

Prealgebra

PSAT

PSAT

BSE in Bioengineering with a strong math and analytical background. I tutor elementary through high school students, focusing on understanding the reasoning behind solutions rather than memorization or shortcuts. I encourage active participation and independent problem-solving, helping students reconstruct concepts if forgotten. I identify and address knowledge gaps before moving forward when possible. For PSAT Math, I focus on building a strong conceptual foundation rather than rely solely on test-specific tricks, preparing students to handle both standard and unfamiliar problems.
SAT Math

An Exceptional Tutor!

Maliha is an exceptional tutor! She helped my daughter tremendously with Math 1. Her teaching style is very clear and engaging, and she excels at breaking down difficult concepts so they are easy to understand. Thanks to her help, my daughter feels much more confident in her skills. I highly recommend Maliha to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and supportive tutor!
