"Hello, my name is Yara, and I’m a dedicated tutor with over a decade of experience supporting students from kindergarten through college in math, science, reading, writing, and SAT prep. I hold a degree in Psychological and Brain Sciences from the University of California, Santa Barbara, which allows me to combine subject expertise with a neuroscience-based approach to learning.

This means I focus on clear explanations, proven study strategies, and helping students understand how to learn effectively. not just memorize for the test!

I’ve worked with students across many levels: building strong foundations in younger learners, guiding high schoolers through advanced math and science, and supporting college students in demanding courses like chemistry and precalc.

If you’re looking for a tutor who combines academic strength with a practical, research-based approach, I’d be glad to support your goals!" less...
