Zahid - Know your tutor
Hi there! I'm Zahid Bashir, a Mathematics tutor with a degree in civil engineering. My teaching philosophy focuses on making math fun and relatable to everyday life. I believe in personalized learning to cater to individual student needs. By using real-life examples and interactive activities, I ensure students are engaged and grasp concepts effectively. From Elementary School Math to AP Calculus, I'm here to support students at all levels. Let's make math an enjoyable journey together! Additionally, I've developed unique problem-solving strategies that have helped many students achieve their academic goals. Whether it's through one-on-one sessions or group workshops, I strive to inspire a love for mathematics in every learner. My experience in civil engineering also allows me to provide practical applications of mathematical principles, showing students the real-world relevance of what they learn. I am passionate about fostering a positive and encouraging learning environment. I utilize various teaching tools, including digital resources and hands-on activities, to cater to different learning styles. My goal is not only to improve grades but also to build confidence in my students, empowering them to tackle challenges independently.
Class overview
As a versatile tutor specializing in various levels of math, I engage with students through practical and motivating teaching methods. I aim to adapt to each student's unique learning style and provide the necessary support to excel in subjects like Algebra, Geometry, and Calculus. By incorporating whiteboarding techniques, I help students visualize concepts clearly and interact with the material directly, leading to significant improvements in their grades. Additionally, I use interactive math games and puzzles to make learning enjoyable and reinforce key concepts. For more complex topics, I utilize 3D models to aid in visualizing mathematical ideas. My adaptable and supportive approach ensures that students not only understand the material but also feel confident in their abilities to excel in math.

Mathematics concept taught by Zahid
The session covered kinematics problems, including sketching motion graphs and calculating position, velocity, and acceleration with constant acceleration. The Student practiced applying kinematic equations to various scenarios, including projectile motion. The tutor assigned additional problems related to the concepts covered.
Acceleration vs. Time Graphs
Velocity vs. Time Graphs and Constant Velocity
Kinematic Equations: v = u + at
Kinematic Equations: s = ut + ½at²
Finding Maximum Displacement
Unit Conversions: Miles per Hour to Feet per Second
Kinematic Equations: v² = u² + 2as
The Student and Tutor worked on kinematics problems, focusing on interpreting graphs of motion and calculating distance, displacement, velocity, and acceleration. The session involved sketching velocity-time graphs, using integrals to find distance, and differentiating between distance and displacement, especially when velocity changes sign. They are planning to continue working on the problem set in the next session.
