Maham
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +71 Subjects
I am currently an undergraduate student at Rice University pursuing a bachelor of science in biochemistry and cell biology on the pre-med track. One of my most memorable experiences in the medical field has been working as a research intern at Texas Children's Hospital and collaborating with genetic specialists to publish a research paper about a rare genetic disease. Medicine is truly one of my greatest passions, and biology has been one of my favorite subjects to tutor through the peer mentorship program at my high school. Through this program, I have also extensively tutored math (from middle school math all the way through IB Mathematics) and find myself drawn by the methodical nature of the subject. Many times, I find that students simply label math as "difficult" because the concepts are brand new and numbers seem like a foreign language. Relating math concepts to simpler everyday ones is one of the many strategies I use when tutoring math, and I have found a lot of success through it. Throughout high school, I have been very active in my school community as the Editor-in-Chief of the school newspaper, president of the Speech and Debate Team, and president and founder of the Random Acts of Kindness Club. Through these roles, I have mentored younger students in areas such as writing, research, and public speaking. Additionally, I am fluent in 4 languages (English, Urdu, Arabic, and Spanish), although my favorite one to teach is Spanish. Attending an international school has emphasized to me the importance of diversity, inclusion, and tolerance, and I believe that learning a new language is one of the best ways to reinforce these ideals. In my spare time, you can find me engrossed in arts and crafts, running my Etsy store, or volunteering my local art museum's kids' crafts classes. I also love listening to music, creating music on my violin, and singing various genres.

Frequently Asked Questions
At grades 2-3, vocabulary sticks best through repetition in meaningful contexts rather than memorization lists. Tutors use spaced repetition—revisiting words across multiple sessions—combined with visual aids, gestures, and real objects to help words stick. For example, a tutor might teach "rojo, azul, verde" by having a student point to colored items around the room, then use those same colors in simple sentences in the next lesson, reinforcing both the word and its use.
Classroom Spanish instruction often focuses on reading and writing, leaving limited time for actual conversation. With personalized 1-on-1 instruction, students get consistent speaking practice in a low-pressure environment where they can make mistakes without self-consciousness. Tutors can adjust their pace and complexity to match each student's comfort level, gradually building confidence through simple exchanges like greetings, basic questions about family or pets, and describing everyday objects—skills that feel achievable at this age.
Rather than diving into grammar rules, tutors at this level introduce verb conjugation through pattern recognition and repetition. For example, a tutor might start with high-frequency verbs like "ser" (to be) and "tener" (to have) in songs, chants, or simple stories, letting students absorb the patterns naturally before explaining the "why." Breaking conjugation into small chunks—focusing on one or two verbs per session—prevents overwhelm and allows students to practice in context ("Yo tengo un gato") before moving to more complex forms.
Young learners at grades 2-3 benefit from listening practice that's tied to visuals, gestures, and context clues rather than abstract audio alone. Tutors use picture identification activities, simple stories with repetitive phrases, and commands paired with actions (total physical response) to build listening skills. Starting with slower speech and high-frequency words, then gradually increasing complexity, helps students train their ears to recognize Spanish sounds and patterns without feeling frustrated.
At this level, reading typically begins with sight words, simple pattern-based sentences, and high-frequency vocabulary students have already heard and spoken. Tutors often use decodable readers—books designed with repetitive structures and familiar words—so students can practice decoding without getting stuck on unfamiliar vocabulary. Pairing reading with pictures and allowing students to read aloud helps reinforce pronunciation while building confidence that they can "read" Spanish, even at a beginner level.
Incorporating culture—holidays, foods, music, and traditions—makes Spanish feel relevant and exciting rather than abstract. Tutors might teach vocabulary around Día de Muertos by discussing the tradition, singing a Spanish song, or creating simple crafts while using Spanish words. This approach helps students understand that Spanish is a living language spoken by real people with rich traditions, making them more motivated to learn and giving vocabulary deeper meaning than isolated word lists.
At this stage, writing typically starts with copying and simple sentence completion rather than creative composition. Students might practice writing basic words, filling in missing letters, or completing sentences with provided vocabulary (like "Me llamo ___" or "Tengo ___ años"). Tutors focus on building confidence and accuracy with high-frequency words and simple structures before expecting students to generate original sentences, which usually develops as their speaking and reading skills strengthen.
Young learners are excellent at mimicking sounds, so tutors leverage this by modeling correct pronunciation consistently and having students repeat and practice. Rather than explicit instruction about accent marks or phonetics, tutors use techniques like exaggerated mouth movements, comparing Spanish sounds to English equivalents (like the rolled "r" or the "ñ" sound), and lots of repetition through songs and games. Correcting pronunciation gently and positively—without making students self-conscious—keeps them engaged while building accurate speech patterns.
