Akbar: East Hyde Park tutor

Certified Tutor

As a third-year Computer Engineering student at the University of Illinois Chicago, I am passionate about tutoring subjects such as Math, Engineering, and Science, drawing on my experiences as a teaching assistant and mentor. With over two years of tutoring experience, I excel at breaking down complex ideas into clear, relatable concepts and adapting my teaching style to fit each student's unique needs. I place a strong emphasis on teaching students how to learn: equipping them with problem-solving strategies, critical thinking skills, and comprehension techniques that they can apply for the rest of their lives. My lessons are designed to encourage curiosity, foster independence, and create those "eureka" moments that make learning both exciting and meaningful. I use real-world applications to show the relevance of what we cover, making abstract concepts easier to grasp and remember. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy coding and exploring new technologies, which allows me to bring fresh, practical perspectives into my teaching. I am committed to helping students succeed academically while building the confidence and lifelong skills they need to thrive in any learning environment.
