Math Tutor – University of Pennsylvania Alumna

Malika S.

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, engaging, and encouraging.

I tutor middle school, high school, and college students in math through Pre-Calculus, including Algebra 1, Algebra 2, and Geometry. 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.

Beyond formal roles, I’ve tutored elementary through college students, helping younger learners build strong math foundations by using analogies and guiding peers through pre-calculus and calculus by simplifying complex ideas. I’ve also volunteered with homework help for students ages 10–12 and reviewed college essays for graduating seniors.

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!
