Abrahim
BA University of California Los Angeles • Doctor of Medicine, Premedicine Medical College of Wisconsin
4+ Years Tutoring

I am passionate about teaching because I understand greatly a lot of the academic struggles and problems students may face through education, especially as a first generation college student. Currently I am studying for my medical doctorate degree (M.D.) at the Medical College of Wisconsin. I graduated UCLA with a Biology degree with Asian Languages minor in 2019, cum laude honors. Both during my undergrad and days since, I had a chance to tutor private clients in Southern California and work for a few exam prep companies. I enjoy tutoring math, sciences (chemistry, biology mainly), social sciences (history, politics), essay writing, and Japanese. I also help assist in studying for standardized exams (SAT, ACT, SAT Subject, AP, MCAT, PCAT, OAT)! My tutoring style will be very direct in trying to identify gaps in knowledge and working/practicing on those gaps. I like to be interactive and answer the students' questions directly. I strongly believe education is one path in which students may be able to reach their dreams and I will be your supporter along the way. In my free time, I enjoy playing the piano, practicing martial arts, and watching anime/playing games.

1+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of the University of California Santa Barbara. I received my Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences. I am currently a 3rd year dental student at the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine. I have tutored students from all backgrounds and ages, more specifically with a focus on elementary to high school education. My experiences range from instructing low-income and minority fifth grade students to that of high level 12th grade private school institutions. My favorite subjects to tutor are that of biology, including the topics of anatomy, microbiology, and physiology. I truly enjoy teaching biology because I believe that the human body is such a dynamic process and that there are so many advancements that have yet to be made in the field of science. In terms of my teaching philosophy, I believe in creating a nurturing environment inundated with encouragement, repetition, and positive feedback that allows my students to grow and develop accordingly. In my free time, I enjoy being outdoors and participate in many activities such as hiking, bicycling, swimming, going to the beach, and traveling to captivating foreign lands.

9+ Years Tutoring

I'm a 2016 graduate of Pepperdine University with my Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry. Currently I'm preparing to apply to optometry school; I hope to be accepted for the 2018-19 academic year. During my time in college, I was involved as a teaching assistant for General Chemistry I and II laboratory, as a tutor for General Chemistry I, as a member of the Regents Scholar Student Board, and as a "small group" leader through multiple organizations. I am a member of the sorority Pi Beta Phi and held the positions of Historian, Senior Transition Leader, and member of the Leadership and Nominating Committee during my undergraduate years. As far as tutoring goes, I offer my services to students of all ages and in numerous subjects. I particularly enjoy tutoring the STEM subjects. I also thoroughly enjoy working with female STEM students, which allows me to serve as a role model and to offer additional encouragement for my female students to not lose interest in STEM subjects. A large part of my tutoring style focuses on logical thinking for how to tackle new and difficult problems using previous knoledge and educated hypotheses; I have found that my students find both success and a boost in confidence using my methodology. Aside from my academic interests, I love cooking and baking, my cat, photography, and National Parks.

BA University of North Texas
6+ Years Tutoring

I am a rising senior at The University of North Texas in Denton. I am working towards my Bachelor of Arts in Spanish as well as English with a concentration in Creative Writing. I was raised in an academically competitive environment in Fort Bend County and my rigorous secondary education prepared me for success in college. I am a fortunate member of the Terry Scholarship Foundation, which has provided me and hundreds of other Texans with a private, four-year, full-ride scholarship. As a Terry Scholar, I am well-versed in all subjects and have taken on the role of mentor to many of the incoming freshmen. I have spent most of my free time in college as a nanny and tutor to families around the DFW area. I have experience with all age groups and there is nothing that intimidates me! While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, Literature, History, Spanish, and Government/Social Studies. Through my experiences helping struggling students and peers, I have realized the value of adaptability. Most people reach out to a tutor because the traditional classroom method is not best suited for their learning needs. There is nothing more joyful than when a student finally understands the material in a way that makes sense to them. Many times, students need flexibility and patience in order to grasp a foreign concept. I am a firm believer in the power of education and I hope to share my love of learning with all of my students. After graduation I plan on returning to Houston to obtain my Master of Arts in Teaching from Rice University. In my spare time, I enjoy reading and writing anything from poetry to screenplays. I have also been involved in competitive dance for most of my adolescence, so I understand the balance of academics and extracurriculars.

I am excited to have another opportunity to help other students again through Varsity Tutors because I truly believe that education is absolutely imperative to a better quality of life and that everyone is fully capable of learning and making potentials to reality. As for tutoring, I put much emphasis on active participation and positive reinforcement. A learning environment should stay interactive, fun, but challenging. By encountering challenges, I believe a student's potential could rise. Besides my life in academia, I enjoy traveling, photography, and physical activities including hiking, running, and skiing during winter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Memorizing that mitochondria are the "powerhouse of the cell" doesn't help you explain why cells need energy or how that energy gets used. True understanding means connecting concepts—knowing not just what happens, but why and how it matters. Personalized tutoring focuses on building that deeper comprehension by asking "why" questions, working through problems together, and helping you see how individual concepts fit into the bigger picture. This approach leads to better test performance and skills that actually stick with you.

Abstract concepts are one of the biggest challenges in natural sciences—you can't see an electron or hold a chemical bond. Expert tutors use multiple strategies: drawing diagrams, working with 3D models, using analogies, and walking through real-world examples where these invisible processes actually matter. For instance, understanding how molecular bonds break and form becomes clearer when you connect it to why materials behave the way they do. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction means your tutor can spend time on exactly the visualizations that click for your learning style.

A great natural sciences tutor does more than explain facts—they help you think like a scientist. Look for someone who emphasizes the scientific method, asks you to predict outcomes before solving problems, and connects classroom concepts to real-world applications. They should be comfortable with the specific challenges of your level, whether that's middle school earth science, high school biology or chemistry, or college-level coursework. When you connect with a tutor through Varsity Tutors, you're paired based on both subject expertise and teaching approach, so you get someone who matches how you learn best.

Scientific reasoning isn't just about knowing facts—it's about forming hypotheses, designing experiments, analyzing data, and drawing conclusions. Personalized instruction lets your tutor ask questions that push your thinking, have you explain your reasoning out loud, and give you immediate feedback on your logic. This repeated practice with genuine scientific thinking actually rewires how you approach problems. You'll get better at recognizing patterns, questioning assumptions, and understanding why certain methods work better than others—skills that transfer beyond any single test.

These are two of the most common stumbling blocks in chemistry and physics, but they're learnable once you understand the underlying logic. The problem is usually that students memorize steps without grasping why those steps work. A tutor can slow down, show you the conceptual foundation (why atoms must balance, how units cancel like fractions), and then work through problems with you until the process feels natural. Breaking it down into smaller pieces and practicing with feedback makes these skills click much faster than struggling alone.

You should notice progress in two ways: immediate (you understand concepts you didn't before, you can solve problems more confidently) and measurable (your test scores, assignment grades, or standardized test results improve). A good tutoring relationship includes regular check-ins on what's working. You might see progress in understanding before your grades shift—that's normal, because deeper learning takes time to show up on tests. Most students working 1-on-1 with a tutor start seeing grade improvements within a few weeks, especially if they're putting in consistent effort between sessions.

Yes. Whether you're preparing for a unit test, AP Biology or Chemistry, an ACT/SAT science section, or a science competition, personalized instruction targets exactly what you need. For standardized tests, tutors focus on test-specific strategies and the types of reasoning those exams reward. For competitions, they help you go beyond the standard curriculum and develop problem-solving depth. Your tutor can diagnose weak spots, create a study plan that works with your schedule, and give you practice with feedback—all much more effective than generic test prep materials.
