Zaniya: Bethesda tutor
Certified Tutor
I am a dedicated and enthusiastic tutor with a strong academic background in biology, chemistry, and mathematics. My passion for helping students stems from my own journey in science and medicine, where I've experienced firsthand the value of a great mentor. I genuinely enjoy supporting students as they overcome academic challenges and discover their own potential.
Throughout my undergraduate studies in biology and chemistry, I served as a teacher's assistant for the chemistry department, where I provided personalized support and helped students grasp complex scientific principles. I've also mentored pre-health students through academic advising and professional development, offering guidance on coursework, study strategies, and career planning.
While I tutor a range of STEM subjects, I am especially passionate about biology and chemistry. These subjects provide insight into how the world functions at both microscopic and systemic levels, and I love helping students connect the dots in a way that sparks curiosity and confidence.
My tutoring style is patient, collaborative, and tailored to each student's learning preferences. I focus on building a solid foundation of understanding while creating a positive and encouraging learning environment. I believe in making science approachable and engaging, and I aim to equip my students with both subject knowledge and critical thinking skills that will serve them well beyond the classroom.

Outside of tutoring, my greatest joy comes from spending time with my husband and our young son. Being a mom has taught me patience, adaptability, and the importance of celebrating small milestones—qualities I bring into my tutoring style as well. I enjoy staying active, reading, and continuing to learn both academically and personally. Whether it’s exploring new places with my family or winding down with a good book, I value balance and intentionality in all areas of life.
