I’m a graduate of Princeton currently on a Fulbright scholarship. I have always found tutoring and mentoring very rewarding and fulfilling.

In high school, I was one of three students from my city selected to attend Southwest Virginia Governor’s School for advanced math and science. My strong background in math and science have prepared me to teach these subjects. At Princeton, I took a variety of courses across the social sciences and humanities. Many of my courses emphasized strong analytical thinking and writing skills. I’m well-equipped to tutor history, psychology, English, writing, and math.

I have had various teaching and tutoring experiences, starting in high school. I taught math and science to younger high school students. I also taught Arabic to both adults and children. At Princeton, I mentored for first-year students in Butler College. I also tutored students in Arabic. Currently, I’m tutoring middle and high school students in math, history, and science.
