"Hi! I'm Mahfoud, but most call me Moof, and I have over 10 years of math and science teaching and tutoring experience. In 2013, I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Biology from University of California, Riverside, where I spent 3 years as a Supplemental Instruction (SI) Leader and Mentor, helping students succeed in a multitude of subjects, including precalculus, trigonometry, calculus, general chemistry, biology, organic chemistry, and biochemistry. Since graduating, I've been tutoring students of all ages in all sorts of math and science courses - from elementary arithmetic and algebra to college- and graduate-level biochemistry. I have also helped many pre-health professional students (including pre-medical, pre-dental, and pre-pharmacy students) succeed on standardized exams like the MCAT, DAT, PCAT, and more!

The most common feedback I receive from my students is that I have a knack for communicating seemingly complex concepts very quickly and very simply, saving them tons of study time. The reason I feel I have had so much success with this is that my teaching method is very unassuming. I start by asking the right questions to quickly assess a student's knowledge and understanding. Afterwards, I begin to fill in any knowledge/understanding gaps in a laser-focused manner, and I address any uncertainties or confusions as soon as they appear. This saves a ton of time, which is an all too precious resource when it comes to completing schoolwork and preparing for exams. Additionally, my approach is focused on achieving an in-depth understanding rather than a surface-level familiarity. Coupling the quick filling of learning gaps and the focus on deep understanding is what students seem to value most, which is why they are my priorities when tutoring!

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask! I would be happy to answer. Cheers!" less...
