Hello! My name is Fida and I’m a junior at Smith College, where I’m double majoring in Mathematical Sciences and Middle East Studies. I’ve always loved helping others learn. Before college, I used to work as a tutor in my home state Arizona, where I helped K–12 students in math, science, English, and Latin. At Smith, I’ve continued developing my communication and mentoring skills through research and math tutoring. I’m passionate about making complex ideas clear and helping students feel confident and capable in any subject. Outside academics, I love exploring art and language learning, I've learned Latin for many years and have volunteered with some youth art programs. I have also been training in classical voice and opera for 6 years and enjoy helping young singers develop both their technique and confidence. My favorite part of tutoring has always been making connections with students and helping them have fun with their passions and I'm looking forward to more incredible students and connections!

Hey! My name is Evy and I’m a first year at Smith College majoring in Education and on the elementary teaching licensure track. I have extensive experience working with kids through experiences working at a preschool, several years of babysitting, and an internship at my local children’s museum. I designed lessons and activities, co-running classrooms in both the preschool and children's museum and I have extensive experience with younger children. Currently, I am a volunteer tutor for under-achieving elementary school students at a local community center, which has been a very fulfilling role. I have the most experience with teaching younger kids, so I would be a great fit for early math, science, reading, or writing help! I tutor in all subjects for lower grades (K-8) and I would love to help with high school level writing. Through high school, I excelled at English, proofreading peer works, and also took AP courses in several different disciplines, which I would love to help with as well. Additionally, I’ve been learning Japanese for over ten years and would be open to teaching the language at a beginner to low-intermediate level, potentially covering the two alphabets, basic kanji, beginning vocabulary, and more. I like to teach by breaking complex or difficult ideas into simpler concepts, because it’s the way that I’ve always learned too, but I take time to get to know each student’s learning style so I can tailor lessons to what engages them most. Above all, my goal is to make tutoring enjoyable for a student—not just another task on their to-do list.
