Saira: Costa Mesa tutor

Certified Tutor

I am a graduate of the University of Toronto and have received my Bachelor of Arts in Architectural Studies. I have been a math tutor for several years for Khan Academy, helping students from lower-income families gain access to quality academic support.

Although I teach many subjects, I am most passionate about math and English. Throughout my studies, writing and math have been crucial to my life.

I love helping students overcome the fear or frustration they might feel toward math by showing them clear, step-by-step strategies and real-life applications. I connect especially well with elementary and middle school students, as these formative years are when building confidence, curiosity, and strong learning habits can have the most lasting impact. My tutoring style is patient, encouraging, and student-centred. I focus on building a strong foundation while making sure each session is engaging and goal-oriented. Whether a student needs help catching up, staying on track, or getting ahead, I strive to meet them where they are and help them move forward with confidence.
