We've tried a couple of tutors for my son's Physics AP subject. When I interviewed Zeinab on the phone, she proactively inquired about my son's needs and the specific subjects and concepts he struggled with. Zeinab asked for the book and the specific chapters he studied. She made sure she was up to date on the subjects and showed up fully prepared. She covered all the problems and concepts for force and friction effectively and effiecently. Zeinab taught my son how to break down the problems into logical elements/components and then proceed to solve the problem. Zeinab is patient, thorough, objective, efficient, effective and most of all, she shows up very well prepared. She had actually looked for the similar text book my son is using and reviewed it. Based on the material that was covered, she actually condensed what would be a four hour session into 2.5 to 3 hours. I am very happy with Zeinab's efforts. She does quality work!

As a college student struggling with calculus for business, it is not easy to find a tutor who not only knows her material but is willing to spend extra time explaining problems. When I first talked to Zeinab, my first impression was that she was very committed to helping me achieve my academic goals. I believe that she goes out of her way to help her students. Before we met, she got a copy of my math textbook so that she could further understand the class material and answer any of my questions. It pleased me to know that she knew exactly what I was learning in class each week because she had a copy of my textbook. When we met, Zeinab was fully prepared and was very patient and encouraging throughout the lesson. She not only answered all my questions, but explained to me the basic concepts of each section. She would also ask me questions to see if I truly understood the material and when it was almost time to end our lesson, she reviewed everything that we went over during that time. When I had questions the day before a quiz, I emailed Zeinab and she responded right away to my questions over the phone. I was very prepared for the quiz and because Zeinab taught me how to study my textbook and practice the chapter problems, I am now more confident in my calculus for business class. I started off struggling in the class but after getting tutored by Zeinab, I am doing well to the point that I no longer need any more tutoring.

I was looking for an AP Calculus tutor for my very busy son who is a junior in high school. Since my son had a test that week I contacted Zeinab and she was able to come that week. I had read her other reviews which had mentioned how prepared she was. She showed up with the same AP Calculus book that my son was using and she had asked ahead of time what chapter he was on. She came very prepared. She is very patient also. Zeinab was the perfect choice for my son. She is able to accomplish a lot at each session since she knows so much about the subject. My son says that she's able to break it down in a way that he can understand it. I am so glad that Zeinab is my son's tutor because I know that he is now getting the one on one help he needed to succeed in the class.

Zeinab has given my daughter a much better understanding of Physics and I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a tutor. Based on conversations with my daughter, Zeinab knows her stuff, is easy to learn from and is very patient. As a mother, I like that Zeinab comes prepared for the sessions and expects the same from my daughter. After her sessions, my daughter has a renewed sense of confidence and I thank Zeinab for this.

I needed a tutor immediately for my son who attends a local university. Due to his learning disability I was concerned about finding the right tutor within a short time frame. We chose Zeinab and she was a perfect match with my son. She was very accessible, organized, timely and arranged her schedule to assist him. She was extremely patient and encouraging. She motivated him to excel and after 10 consecutive days of tutoring he took his final and passed! I highly recommend her especially for those students with learning disabilities.

Looking for a tutor can be quite a task. Finding Zeinab for precalculus tutoring went very smooth. She contacted our son and got the information she needed from him. The feedback from our son was very positive and it improved his test scores. Zeinab has patience and is a good listener. Tutoring must come within a person's desire and Zeinab fulfilled our needs. I would highly recommend Zeinab. Great tutor!
Debbie A. from Santa Monica, CA
I had one day to find a tutor for my son's AP Physics exam and Zeinab was gracious enough to accommodate our schedule. Not only is she polite and patient, she knows her subject well and comes prepared. My son is not the most focused kid and she immediately engaged him into the subject matter and they worked for hours on the problems. I would highly recommend her and only wish I contacted Zeinab earlier in the year. Thank you, Zeinab!

I am a sophomore at UC Irvine and Zeinab helped me with my physics course. I met with Zeinab for two terms and with her help was able to succeed in a rather difficult class (my first labmate dropped out of the class in the very beginning of the first term). Zeinab was prepared and always helped me understand the material and helped me solve the problems. I am glad I found Zeinab and highly recommend her.

Zeinab tutored my daughter in physics last year. She was very flexible with her time, and even came late some evenings to work with my daughter's schedule. She knows her material, is very bright and very patient.

Zeinab works very well with my daughter who has a math learning disability. She is amazingly patient and at the same time teaches up instead of down, always wanting the student to try a little more. She is remarkably smart and educated and a delight to have as a tutor.

Zeinab is an excellent tutor. She a consistently helped my achieve high scores on my Alg/Trig weekly tests in school. I have worked with her for over two months now and have come to depend on her to help me reach my scholastic goals.
