Teaches: Math, and Sciences

I moved to Canada in 2024 to pursue a Master’s degree in Physics at Simon Fraser University, where I’m currently studying with a GPA of 4.33 and expect to graduate by May 2026. I completed my Bachelor’s in Physics at Kharazmi University in Iran with a GPA of 3.8 out of 4. In high school, I participated in the Math Olympiad and passed the first exam by tutoring myself in advanced math topics. This experience taught me how to break down difficult problems and approach learning step by step – a skill I now pass on to my students to help them tackle challenging subjects with confidence. During my undergraduate studies, I worked as a Teaching Assistant for courses like Analytical Mechanics, Electromagnetism, and Physics. I helped students understand difficult concepts by leading tutorials, assisting with labs, and explaining topics in simpler ways. I always aimed to create a supportive environment where students felt comfortable asking questions and developing problem-solving strategies. For over two years, I’ve also worked as a private tutor for high school students, teaching Math, Sciences, and programming. I focus on identifying areas where students struggle and guide them through problems step by step until they feel confident. I enjoy seeing students build their skills and gain a better understanding of STEM subjects over time. As President of the Physics Association at Kharazmi University, I organized academic events and workshops to encourage student participation in science and create opportunities for peer learning. I believe that fostering a collaborative environment helps students not only understand concepts better but also enjoy the learning process. My long-term goal is to pursue a PhD and become a researcher in Physics. I’m passionate about deepening my knowledge and contributing to the field, while continuing to mentor and inspire students along the way. I’m passionate about teaching and mentoring. I work to make complex topics more approachable and help students develop strong learning habits. I believe that with the right guidance and support, every student can improve and succeed in their studies

Teaches: Math and Sciences

 I am a graduate of the University of British Columbia, with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science (Software Engineering). I started tutoring during my high school years through assisting my classmates with math and science school work as well as volunteering with an after school robotics program for kids. I then went on to continue as a Teaching Assistant for an entry level course in Computer Science at UBC while I studied for my Bachelor's degree. I have a strong grasp of all aspects of K-12 mathematics and various other STEM subjects, such as Chemistry, Physics, and Computer Science. I also have extensive experience with competition level mathematics, having participated in and ranked highly in many mathematics competitions from grade 5 onwards, most notably the high school Math Challengers series of both individual and team based competitions. With lots of experience teaching STEM concepts to learners of all levels, I am able to break down the complex concepts and explain them in a way that doesn't simply allow students to complete the given problems, but also to build the fundamentals and problem solving strategies that they can apply to their future studies. I am fluent in English and Mandarin Chinese, and can assist with French and Japanese as well, having studied both languages to an intermediate level. I hope to be able to help students build confidence and further their personal growth through tutoring.

I am a current undergraduate Chemistry student at UBC. Throughout my schooling, I have always enjoyed explaining concepts to my friends while we studied together, as it reinforced my own learning and helped my friends succeed, too. I attended Sutherland Secondary school and I am well versed with the BC curriculum. During my undergraduate studies, I have worked as an Undergraduate Teaching Assistant for introductory chemistry labs, where I taught students practical lab skills and helped them gain a deeper understanding of chemistry theory. I enjoyed seeing how my students grew throughout the term and how my engagement with them played a part in their success. At AKILI, I hope to help students achieve their goals and gain confidence in their academic abilities through creating a welcoming learning environment.

I am an undergraduate Biology student at UBC with a deep enthusiasm for helping students unlock their academic potential.  I am eager to support students in their learning journeys. I completed the IB program at West Vancouver Secondary and  often assisted my classmates with topics that came more naturally to me, which not only reinforced my own understanding but also sparked my passion for teaching. I welcome students of all levels and enjoy breaking down complex concepts into simpler, more digestible parts. Having experienced tutoring myself at a younger age, I have a deep appreciation for the patience and dedication that tutors bring to their work. I am excited to teach English, Math, Chemistry, and Biology, and to help students build confidence and excel in their studies. I wish to help more and more students and play my part in positively impacting our community. I can teach in English and Farsi, and my long-term goal is to pursue medicine.

Teaches: Math and Sciences, Trains tutors to their full potential.

I am an internationally trained medical professional. I followed 7 years of primary education and 4 years of O'level education in Tanzania. I achieved a National top 10 best student status. I was awarded the highly acclaimed scholarship to complete my high school in Hong Kong. I attended the Li Po Chun United World College and did an International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma. I won another prestigious scholarship at Simon Fraser University and did a Bachelor of Science Degree in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry. Subsequently, I went to the Caribbean for medical school and graduated from Windsor University in St. Kitts. I have successfully passed all my medical board examinations and I am waiting for residency placement. I started tutoring Mathematics to my sister and nephew in Tanzania. I realized each session gave me a sense of fulfillment and wanted to do more. I extended my help to colleagues. When I went to Hong Kong, I did not shy away from Mathematics tutorials to my peers. After coming to Canada, I worked at different tutoring companies helping many students achieve their academic goals. Over the last 12 years, my forte in teaching Mathematics and the Sciences begins with the first session. I have a unique talent to adapt to each student's style of learning and infuse my ingredients. Some of the students I have helped are in law, medical, engineering, nursing, business, and graduate schools. The tutors I have mentored, enjoy their own successes as well. I hope to transform many more students and mentor other tutors through AKILI Education Services Inc.

Teaches: Math, Sciences, and Computer

I am a UBC graduate with a Master of Applied Science in Chemical and Biological Engineering. Altruism has always been a central part of my self-concept, and I have tried to fulfill it in different ways throughout my life. I explained complex mathematics, chemistry, and physics concepts to my classmates sharing the bench with me in high school. I did not anticipate that my explanations could make a difference until I realized two friends were arguing over sitting next to me for the chemistry class! I also received several positive feedbacks from others saying how helpful I was in making complex concepts understandable, resulting in their boosted quiz marks. I noticed that I am well competent in transferring my knowledge to others in an easily understandable way. I tried to utilize my teaching skills in a more challenging environment. In the fourth year of undergrad, I started working as a teaching assistant (TA) for engineering courses. I continued working as a teaching assistant (TA) until I graduated with my master's in 2019. I was engaged in holding tutorial sessions, available during office hours, and marking exams and assignments. My passion for teaching made me pursue tutoring as a profession. In 2017, I started tutoring my sister in Pre-Calculus and Chemistry 11. The word spread, and I got students from grades 10, 11, and 12, and first-year university whom I helped with Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry. I can teach lower grades as well as select university courses. I am incredibly patient, and my enthusiasm for teaching makes me unbound on time and place during tutorial sessions. I wish to help more and more students and play my part in positively impacting our community. I can teach in English and Farsi, and my long-term goal is to pursue medicine.
