Hello!

I’m passionate about helping students build confidence and develop a genuine understanding of math. Whether a student needs help with challenging concepts or wants to get ahead, I aim to make learning clear, approachable, and encouraging. I currently focus on Pre-Algebra, Algebra I, and PSAT/SAT preparation.

I’ve tutored students from elementary school through college in various settings. With a BSE in Bioengineering from the University of Pennsylvania and coursework through Calculus IV, I bring a strong STEM foundation and analytical approach to teaching. My experience as a college teaching assistant further strengthened my ability to explain complex concepts and support students through challenging material.

My style emphasizes understanding the reasoning behind mathematical methods rather than memorizing formulas and procedures. By explaining why a method works, I aim to teach students reconstruct what they’ve forgotten and solve problems independently. I tailor each session to the student’s needs and goals to build lasting understanding and confidence.

If you’re looking for a patient, supportive tutor who values 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

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

Absolutely wonderful tutor

Malika is an absolutely wonderful tutor, and I cannot recommend her enough! My 8-year-old daughter, Elene, was significantly behind in math when we started working with Malika. She struggled with basic concepts, lacked confidence, and math had become very frustrating for her. Since starting lessons with Malika, the improvement has been incredible. She is extremely patient, kind, encouraging, and knows exactly how to explain difficult concepts in a way that a child can understand. Most importantly, she has helped Elene become much more confident and comfortable with math. We have seen a huge difference not only in her skills, but also in her attitude toward learning. Malika genuinely cares about her students and puts so much effort into every lesson. We feel very lucky to have found her and plan to continue working with her. She is an amazing teacher and absolutely deserves 5 stars!

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!
