Aaya

Applied Mathematics Tutor • +103 Subjects

As a former IB student, my love for knowledge runs deep. I majored in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, graduating in December 2015 with honors (BME honors and Science and Technology Honors program) and going on to earn a Master's degree in Management Information Systems from the same university in 2019. I am currently pursuing a Master of Engineering in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning from the University of Illinois at Chicago and hope to start a career in data science and analytics. I greatly enjoy helping others learn and tutored throughout high school and college; I love seeing the light flash on in a student's eyes when they finally understand something they had been struggling with or when they easily solve a problem. I have tutored both young children as well as high school and college students, in just about every subject. I particularly enjoy language tutoring; I am fluent in Arabic and French and I love literature and poetry. I also love to tutor math and science subjects. My tutoring style is very much student-first; I listen and observe to determine the best approach for each individual student and what methods or strategies will be most helpful for you specifically. I am not averse to making a fool of myself with song or dance if it will help! I enjoy what I do and I want the students I work with to enjoy learning as well.

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Hoover's 25 schools with personalized 1-on-1 instruction. Whether your student attends a school in the Hoover City Schools district or transfers between schools, we match them with tutors who understand the local curriculum and academic expectations.

Tutors work with students on Alabama's College and Career Readiness Standards, which emphasize critical thinking and subject mastery. With Hoover's 14.3:1 student-teacher ratio, personalized tutoring provides the focused attention that helps students master challenging concepts and build confidence in core subjects like math, English, and science.

Students in Hoover frequently seek help with algebra and geometry, chemistry and biology, English composition, and test preparation for the SAT and ACT. We also work with students on AP coursework and advanced placement exams, which are popular among Hoover's college-bound students.

During the first session, the tutor assesses your student's current level, identifies specific challenges, and learns about their goals. From there, the tutor creates a personalized plan tailored to your student's learning style and pace, whether they need help catching up, staying on track, or getting ahead.

Many students show noticeable progress within 4-6 weeks of consistent tutoring, though the timeline depends on the subject and your student's starting point. Research on 1-on-1 instruction shows that personalized tutoring significantly accelerates learning when students engage regularly with their tutor.

Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who have expertise in their subject areas and experience working with students at various levels. Each tutor is vetted to ensure they can deliver effective, personalized instruction aligned with what Hoover students need to succeed.
