I have been teaching and tutoring over 6 years. My primary focus as a tutor is to understand the students' knowledge and interest in the subject, and fill in the gaps with fundamental concepts related to the subject matter. Mathematics and Science are subjects that build, from one area of study to the next. Without a strong foundation, students will often struggle with advanced concepts.

I have been teaching and tutoring over 6 years. My primary focus as a tutor is to understand the students' knowledge and interest in the subject, and fill in the gaps with fundamental concepts related to the subject matter. Mathematics and Science are subjects that build, from one area of study to the next. Without a strong foundation, students will often struggle with advanced concepts. My goal as a teacher and tutor is to strengthen the students' foundational knowledge, and provide relatable examples and practice to ensure the student is able to recall and apply that fundamental knowledge. I utilize examples from nature, finance, and physics to teach many mathematical concepts, which I have found to be effective because they are relatable, accessible, and apply to everyday life.

In my approach, I begin with a preliminary assessment of the students' knowledge and struggles, to determine what their current understanding is and what gaps exist. This usually occurs during an initial discussion of current course lessons and assignments. Secondly, I work with the student to connect the coded concepts and formulas to the verbal and graphical representations. Throughout the process, the student is the center and focus in learning. I am able to adapt my approach to suit their needs and interests, in order to concentrate more on the desired student and course outcomes. Finally, I encourage and work with students to create learning goals, to ensure that their achievements are measurable, and realistic. As a tutor and instructor, I strive to be professional, patient, reliable, as well as challenging, and I have both the knowledge and experience to help students achieve at a level of personal excellence.

Bakar is EXCELLENT - hire him!

I was so impressed with Bakar, and he helped my son make huge gains for the SAT math section. He is kind, extremely intelligent, and helps communicate concepts in a clear way. I highly recommend him, and would love to use his tutoring skills in the future for other topics, as well. It's obvious that he cares about students and helping them succeed, and we are grateful we found him. My son is feeling much more confident about the upcoming SAT. Thank you, Bakar!

Tutor responded:

Thank you for your endorsement, and for inviting me to work with your son! He kept a positive attitude each day we work and definitely did his part to earn those improvements. It was an outstanding experience.

Fun and patient tutor

Bakar has a great style that is working well with my 7th grader, who is very creative and also interested in exploring math and science. He puts my kid in the driver's seat, and pushes him to challenge himself while scaffolding along the way so he feels successful in trying out new problems.

Foundations of Engineering

Baker is very knowledgeable and patient and knows how to teach without being intimidating. He does not have to stop and look issues up, very familiar with the subject.

Carolyn, 5 lessons with Bakar

Knowledgeable, patient and accomodating

My son (sophomore)is having difficulty with his online class on math lessons, so I decided to look for help and find him a tutor. It is my first time to use the app as well and I did read all the profile . Bakar's profile is so impressive! I reached out to Bakar and he respond timely( same day I reached out, is also the same day my son had the session!) My son had a productive session and the best part my son likes him. My son's input about Bakar's teaching strategy is outstanding. So, if you need help or your child needs help,Bakar is the best person to help.

Very Knowledgeable and Easy to work with!

My son really enjoyed working with Bakar! He is looking forward to learning more from him. Bakar was able to take on my son very quickly and we are very appreciative of his support and all the knowledge he provided Zayden so far! He is a great tutor!

Sherrillan, 15 lessons with Bakar

Very refreshing!

I urgently needed a tutor for my high schooler who is taking both physics and precalculus this quarter. I reached out to Bakar based on his ratings. His response time was fast and professional. My daughter was beaming after her lesson. She has had two previous tutors and she said Bakar was by far the best. What amazed her out of the gate was that he took notes as he spoke with her to assess where she was in the subjects he would be helping her with. He was energetic, well-spoken, efficient, and kind. Not only will we have another session, we will use him for the rest of this school year for other students in our family, as well as for the plethora of other subjects that he is proficient in. This guy is top notch.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

We found this tutor last minute before my daughter’s homework due, he was very accommodating and taught her to ask the right questions when try to solve problem. Focusing on the why, great way to learn!
