I'm a second-year master's student at Georgia Tech studying Applied Mathematics. I've been a teaching assistant for undergraduate math courses for two years, covering everything from Calc I through Differential Equations.
My approach is pretty simple: I figure out where the confusion is and work backwards from there. A lot of students have one missing link in their understanding that makes everything after it feel impossible. Once we find that, the rest falls into place.
I'm especially good with students who think they're "not math people." If you've been struggling, I've probably worked with someone in the same spot before, and I know how to get through it.
Samira literally saved my grade. I was completely lost in Linear Algebra going into the midterm and she broke down eigenvalues in a way my professor never could. Went from a D to a B+ on the final.
Linear AlgebraSuper patient and really organized. She always comes to sessions with a plan and doesn't waste time. I felt like every minute was worth it. Already booked another block of sessions for Calc III this fall.
Calculus IIII thought I was bad at math. Turns out I just had a bad professor. Samira found the exact concept I was missing and everything clicked after two sessions. Wish I'd found her sooner.
Differential EquationsTook sessions with Samira every week leading up to finals. She explains things step by step without making you feel dumb for not getting it the first time. Highly recommend.
Linear AlgebraBest tutor I've had in college. She actually listens to where you're stuck instead of just re-lecturing the textbook. The recordings were clutch for reviewing before exams too.
