I am a teacher at heart! I have learned many things through teaching. I believe our students teach us how to keep our hearts, minds and perspectives open. The world will continue to become a better place with the spread of education. Knowledge is shared by teaching, inspiring, motivating, listening, learning and, most of all, laughing with our students. Education will ultimately bring what the world truly needs...peace!With over 20 years teaching experience in three different countries including Pakistan, United States and Canada, I have come to believe even more so that education is the key to improving global relations as well as create a mutually respectful environment all around.

I am a graduate of the Georgia Institute of Technology with a degree in Computational Media (A hybrid degree between Liberal Arts and Computer Science), with a focus in Intelligence and Game Studies. I am working towards getting into the Digital Media Masters Program at Georgia Tech as well, with a focus on Game Artificial Intelligence. I also studied and did research into Augmented Reality and other Interactive Media technologies. Throughout my five years in college, I was a Teaching Assistant (and even Head TA) in various Computer Science classes, holding office hours weekly and helping to write and plan course material in 1st year, 2nd year, and 4th year level courses. If I had to pick a favorite subject to teach, it would have to be Game Design and Programming, as that is one of my own passions. What really drives me to teach is helping other people achieve in spite of obstacles they find themselves facing, helping them find techniques to learning that they can use, and helping them achieve success through their own power. In turn, I have the chance to improve my own knowledge and understanding of the subjects through helping them. I am a vary adaptable tutor, willing to try many different modes and methodologies of teaching to help a student understand the underlying principles of subjects, rather than memorization (unless it is called for). As for interests and hobbies, I like to help design Video Games and Tabletop Role-Playing Games and play them, and help running fan conventions (such as MomoCon or DragonCon) across the Southeast.

I graduated with a BA from Allegheny College in 2019 with a double major in English and Theatre and a minor in Education Studies. While I was at Allegheny, I was a tutor for the America Reads program where I was a classroom tutor in all subjects for a 6th grade class for all 4 years. I then graduated from Pitt's MAT program in 2020, and earned my English 7-12 Teaching Certificate,and completed my student teaching in an 8th grade Language Arts class. This year, I have been a long term substitute in a 6th grade English class for the entire school year. I also have experience tutoring for SATs and up through 8th grade level math. My main interests are in English and Literature, but I also enjoy Theatre and Drama, skiing, traveling, and knitting. I would describe myself as energetic, hardworking and friendly!

I graduated from Drexel University with a Bachelors in Biomedical Engineering and an MD. I've also done some masters courses in Biomed at Johns Hopkins and taught people from grade school to fellow physicians. I believe that the best knowledge comes from deep understanding of fundamental principles and building things up from there. I lean heavy towards science but am very appreciative of the humanities subjects and am happy to help students with either.

Frequently Asked Questions
First grade science introduces students to foundational concepts across life, earth, and physical science. Common topics include living things and their habitats, seasons and weather patterns, basic properties of materials, simple machines, the five senses, and how plants and animals grow and change. The curriculum emphasizes hands-on exploration and observation skills rather than memorization, helping students develop curiosity about the natural world.
Science tutors break down abstract concepts into concrete, observable experiences. For example, instead of just reading about how plants grow, a tutor might help your child plant seeds and observe changes over time, connecting theory to real-world outcomes. Tutors also teach the scientific method—asking questions, making predictions, and testing ideas—which builds both understanding and critical thinking skills. This approach helps students move beyond memorization to truly grasp why things happen in nature.
Great first grade science tutors are patient, curious, and skilled at making learning interactive and fun. They should understand how young learners think, use age-appropriate experiments and activities, and ask open-ended questions that encourage exploration. Look for tutors who can explain concepts simply, connect lessons to things your child sees every day, and adapt their teaching style based on your child's interests—whether that's animals, weather, plants, or how things work.
Personalized science instruction means your child learns at their own pace with a tutor who can pause on confusing ideas, repeat explanations in different ways, and choose examples that match their interests. Unlike classroom settings where teachers manage many students, one-on-one tutoring allows for immediate feedback and hands-on experiments tailored to your child's learning style. This focused attention helps build confidence and a genuine curiosity about science rather than anxiety about getting the right answer.
First graders often struggle with understanding cause and effect (why does this happen?), observing carefully, and using scientific vocabulary to describe what they see. Some students also find it hard to sit still during experiments or to predict outcomes before trying something. A tutor can help by breaking these skills into smaller steps, providing plenty of opportunities to practice observing and predicting, and making experiments engaging so your child stays focused and excited about learning.
Tutors choose simple, safe experiments that produce clear, immediate results—like observing how water changes states, watching seeds sprout, or testing which materials sink or float. They guide students through each step slowly, ask questions to help them notice patterns, and encourage predictions before revealing outcomes. This hands-on approach makes abstract concepts concrete and memorable, and helps students feel like real scientists rather than passive observers.
Simple activities make great science learning: observe bugs in the garden, watch clouds change shape, plant seeds indoors, compare how different objects float or sink, or notice how shadows change throughout the day. Ask your child "why" and "what if" questions to encourage curiosity, and let them lead exploration. A tutor can suggest specific experiments and activities tailored to your child's interests and help them develop the observation and questioning skills that make home learning more meaningful.
