Tonya S., MCAT Student
"I've had the pleasure of working with Zara as my tutor throughout my pre-medical studies and now as I prepare for medical school. Zara is incredibly knowledgable, adaptable, and a fantastic teacher. She genuinely wants you to understand the material, therefore she will explain things in a variety of ways to guarantee that you do. I've worked with numerous tutors before meeting Zara, and she is by far the best. No one matches her knowledge, nor gave me me the sense of sincere concern for my success as Zara did."
Pamela S., High School Parent
"Zara is a fantastic tutor and all around amazing human being. She has helped my daughter tremendously. She is warm, patient, nurturing, driven, and effortlessly makes learning attainable and fun."
Lydia F., Honors Physics
"Zara was an amazing physics tutor. She was always so encouraging and helpful and really took her time to make sure I understood what we were doing. She also gave great advice and tips...I couldn’t have made it through this class without her!"
Zaina C., MCAT Student
"Zara is an absolutely amazing tutor! After working with her, I noticed a significant jump in my score through my practice exams. She helped me not get intimidated by all the overwhelming information in the passages and helped me reason properly to reach the right answer. Most importantly though, Zara gave me the necessary confidence to take the exam!"
Sophia H., SAT Student
"When I began SAT prep, I was discouraged and struggling against a time limit--the test was coming up and I didn't feel I had sufficient time to prepare. In addition to needing to know how to master the test, I needed to re-learn a significant amount of the math concepts that I had forgotten, or learn those I had never understood! It felt like an insurmountable task. In the span of one week, Zara got my score up by 200 points--her clear and patient explanations of the math concepts and how I should go about confronting them on the test not only enabled me to score above what I had hoped to, but increased my confidence on test day. Zara was nothing but encouraging and helpful, and I really don't know what I would have done without her - Not only does she have extensive knowledge of the SAT as a test and the concepts it covers, but her ability to teach is unparalleled and she is capable of diagnosing a student's struggles and bringing them into new knowledge with remarkable speed and effectiveness. I would highly, highly recommend Zara to anyone in need of help with test prep, or tutoring for any subject!"
R. R., MCAT Student
"I have only been meeting with Zara for about a week but have already learned so much about the best way to approach MCAT passages. I have learned that most of the time my issues on the science sections stem from not understanding how valuable the passage is, in terms of many of the answers being in the passage. I am excited to continue to grow my confidence and knowledge [...]"
Sydney, High School Biology
"Zara has helped me so much this year. I was having a hard time with biology, and she has helped it all make more sense. I was struggling but now I'm doing really well.
Bella F., SAT Student
"Zara was a fantastic tutor, helping me make great strides in my SAT preparation. Working with her not only made me more confident in my test taking abilities, but also helped me achieve an increase of 150 points in the exam! She is both patient and encouraging, and all-around an excellent teacher!"
