Experience
I have several years of experience tutoring students from elementary through college, with a strong background in Math, Science, English, and Writing. I specialize in Algebra, Biology, and life sciences, and have successfully helped AP Biology students prepare for their exams. At the college level, I have tutored English and writing courses, including supporting ESL students, as well as advanced Biology and Algebra. I also have experience working with students on the autism spectrum and adapt my approach to meet each learner’s individual needs. I hold a master’s degree in Biomedical Sciences and have research, teaching, and mentoring experience that allow me to bring both subject expertise and a supportive, confidence-building approach to every session. Most of my students see significant improvement in both their grades and their motivation to learn.
Teaching Methodology
My teaching approach is built on breaking down difficult concepts into clear, step-by-step explanations and reinforcing them with practice and real-world examples. I use a variety of techniques — from visual aids and guided problem-solving to discussion-based learning — to match each student’s preferred learning style. I believe in meeting students where they are, whether that means slowing down for mastery or challenging them with enrichment. I adapt my methods for each learner, including those with unique needs such as ESL students or children on the autism spectrum, ensuring that every student feels supported and capable. Above all, I create a positive and engaging environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, building confidence, and developing the skills to become independent learners.
Why Choose Mariam?
What sets me apart as a tutor is my ability to connect with students of all backgrounds and guide them to lasting success. I don’t just focus on short-term grade boosts — I help students build confidence, independence, and a love of learning. For example, I worked with one ESL student from the early stages of learning academic writing through to her first college-level composition course, where she earned the highest grade in her class.

Other Interests
In my free time, I enjoy reading and writing, which keep me curious and always learning. I also love cooking and baking, where I get to be creative and detail-oriented — qualities that I bring into my tutoring sessions. Outside of academics, I’m preparing for the MCAT and pursuing my passion for science and medicine, which helps me connect classroom learning to real-world goals. These activities keep me balanced and give me new ways to inspire students to enjoy learning.

I highly respect Tasha and definitely ask her for feedback & teaching suggestions often because I fully trust her. Also, she speaks Spanish! She is extremely intelligent and some day she's going to be one of the most successful teachers in her district. Thank you for everything you do for our children. We couldn't be more grateful.

Jad, the tutor I work with that is an associate of this company, is tremendous. Hands down best tutor I have ever had. Very knowledgeable of a multitude of math subjects and is pretty much always available! Has helped me pass all my college math courses! Lifesaver! He's also a really great guy! Highly recommend him and this company! Great all around!

It was a hectic Sunday, and my son was struggling with coding which is a language I am not familiar with. I luckily stumbled on TutorNerds and Adam was able to connect us with a fantastic teacher. I cannot express my gratitude enough for Mark for his exceptional skills and extraordinary care for my son. I have never seen my son so elevated after a tutorial. I am glad I stumbled upon this place and look forward to using them for many more years! Thank you, Adam and Mark, for making a difference! You guys are amazing! If you are looking for a tutor, I HIGHLY recommend trying TutorNerds, from my experience so far this place is a gem!

Getting my child help with her school work was a real struggle for me. Having a tutor that I could rely on was the biggest difference. We are so happy with Janelle from TutorNerds. They are highly recommended for any little ones that need some extra help.

I am very impress so far with TutorNerds. Brandy was very helpful and responsive when I was first asking questions about the services TutorNerds had to offer. She was able to pair my son with Sydney who is incredibly sweet, friendly and patient. She is helping my son who just started the 7th grade with homework help and building his confidence. My family was so happy with their services that my nephew has started tutoring with Sydney as well. I would 100% recommend TutorNerds.

There are no words to express how thankful I am for TutorNerds! I called them last semester when I was panicking over my "F" in my intro to symbolic logic college course. Thankfully, they were able to send Brandy over as my tutor. We worked diligently for two months, and I mastered a course I never thought I stood a chance in.

Chemistry English Tutoring

I was recommended here by a class mate, and I'm so glad I followed through. I was struggling to keep up with the material in class and I knew I needed some extra one on one time to really understand the material. Ramin has been so helpful with each chapter and going over the practice midterm. I went from getting C's on test to A's. I highly recommend this as an investment into yourself and your education, versus failing classes. He is patient but will also push you to do better every time! Thank you Ramin!

Precalculus, Calculus Science Tutoring - Biology

TutorNerds is an amazing tutoring service! I can't speak highly enough about them. Farzan has been an incredible help to my daughter in math and science. He is able to explain things in a way that she understands and is so patient, friendly and kind. It has made such a difference for her and he always makes time when she needs help. We appreciate him so much and highly recommend Tutor Nerds for their exceptional tutoring and customer service.

Tutor Nerds are the BEST!! I was desperate to find someone to help me with my college Statistics class, so at the suggestion of a friend I contacted Adam at Tutor Nerds. The demand is high at this time of year for tutoring assistance since the semester is coming to an end, but Adam was quick to find an appropriate tutor for me. Steven was helpful for one session but was unable to continue due to his own studies. Adam B. was then scheduled to meet with me. He is SO smart, and kind, and patient and was actually able to help me understand this very complex subject. I passed the class! THANKS, Tutor Nerds. I'm getting closer to my goal of obtaining my BS degree in nursing. I HIGHLY recommend Tutor Nerds and will happily give their name as a referral to friends and colleagues who need assistance with their studies--specifically statistics.

If you are doubting about getting a tutor with Tutornerds do not hesitate any longer and go for it! I can honestly say that my experience overall with this amazing company and amazing tutor Andrew has been 10 out of 10. Andrew is a great teacher and he is pretty much a human calculator. I am so happy....I am right on track to receive the grade I really wanted in my College Algebra/Pre Calculus class. Tutornerds has helped me learn the material, finish all of my homework and prepare for the exams. My GPA is going to be where it needs to be and I am so thankful.
