Mariam: Portsmouth tutor
Certified Tutor
I am a graduate of Columbia University, where I earned a degree in Biomedical Engineering. My academic journey, coupled with my diverse professional experiences in project management, consulting, and teaching, has fueled my passion for education and helping students unlock their potential. Over the years, I have worked as a TA, guided students in STEM subjects, and currently tutor a variety of topics, including mathematics, science, and SAT preparation.
Among the subjects I tutor, I find immense joy in teaching science and mathematics. Breaking down complex concepts into relatable, digestible ideas and watching students gain confidence in their abilities is incredibly rewarding. My tutoring philosophy is rooted in patience, adaptability, and collaborationI strive to meet students where they are and tailor each session to their unique needs and learning styles.
Outside of tutoring, I enjoy exploring the world through travel, baking creative treats, and indulging in thought-provoking films. These hobbies enrich my perspective and creativity, which I often bring into my sessions to make learning engaging and relevant. Education is a gateway to empowerment, and I'm dedicated to helping my students walk through that gateway with confidence and curiosity.

Outside of tutoring, I’m someone who thrives on creativity and exploration. Traveling is one of my biggest passions—I love experiencing new cultures, learning about different histories, and finding inspiration in the variety of people and places the world has to offer. Baking is another favorite hobby of mine. There’s something therapeutic about experimenting with recipes and creating something that brings joy to others (and myself!). When I’m not traveling or in the kitchen, you can usually find me watching movies. I’m a big fan of thought-provoking films that stay with you long after the credits roll. Whether it’s an indie drama, a classic masterpiece, or a documentary, I’m always looking for films that spark deep conversations or inspire fresh ideas.
