Hi, I’m Rafah! I speak English and Arabic; I have a Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering from University of Technology / Baghdad, Iraq. I have worked in the educational field for more than 15 years teaching college students in technical institutes.

I worked for one year at a private school in Orange County teaching math to middle and high school students. Also I did one-on-one tutoring in algebra and calculus to help students understand different concepts and to be independent to solve problems later on their own. I believe that most of the students’ problems with math can be solved by spotting their areas of weakness and to overcome them step by step.

Besides of my Master's degree in Electrical Engineering which required a deep knowledge at math, recently, I completed four math courses at Fullerton college : College Algebra, Calculus 1, Calculus 2, and Calculus 3. I did exceptionally well in all my courses and became a member of the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society.

I am a firm believer that being good in math helps to understand all other subjects quickly and makes the mind more flexible to receive and analyze information. I want to help students to not only understand but also love math. I am easy to reach and will respond quickly. Feel free to contact me with any questions or to schedule a tutoring session.

Awesome Tutor

I feel so lucky to have Rafah as my tutor. It's as if she is teaching me from the same text book as my professor. She tutors me in Calc 2, and has really helped me bring my grades up.

Knows her stuff

Rafah was very patient and prepared. During our first lesson, she’s had some problem tailored for my understanding in advanced and provided as many examples as needed to ensure I understood the material. I was able to gain a better understanding after working with her. Would recommend!

Helps you understand

Rafah is a great tutor. She tutored me for my calc 2 class and she was really great. She really makes sure that you understand the topic before she moves on. She has a way to make sure that you understand complex topics quickly. If you ever have a question she will make sure that you understand before moving on. Highly recommend :)

Calculus

Great tutor, helped me understand the material better for my final. She worked out every question with me and was patient with me. She was on time and made sure I understood every concept to the fullest. I would recommend this tutor to anybody struggling with calculus because she was a great help.

She is very understanding and intelligent!

Rafah is helping me with my college algebra class. We are assigned group worksheets in class. I don't have a group; I stay home due to a disability. Rafah has been my partner through tutoring to complete the assignments. I can now complete my group assignments at home. I like that she can come up with her examples. I like that she lets me try to work the problems out before showing me how to retrieve the answer. She is more of a teacher than a tutor! I am grateful to have found Rafah!

Helped with everything and made sure all topics were clear after moving on. Also used intuitive methods of teaching that helped.

Ab, 9 lessons with Rafah

Great tutor!

Ms. Rafah has been helping me over a year now with precalculus and AP calculus AB and BC. She is very patient and makes sure you understand the concept. She will not move on until she is confident that I understand. I am very thankful for Ms. Rafah as she helped me get a 5 on my AP Calculus AB test.
