About Omid


Bio

Dear Students and Parents,

My name is Omid, and I graduated from the University of California, Irvine, with a major in Biological Sciences. I am currently a medical student and throughout the past six years, have tutored many students through Wyzant's platform and many more privately, for about 2900 hours in different subjects. I specialize in tutoring Physics, Chemistry, Bio, and Math (all in University and High school levels).

Dear Students and Parents,

My name is Omid, and I graduated from the University of California, Irvine, with a major in Biological Sciences. I am currently a medical student and throughout the past six years, have tutored many students through Wyzant's platform and many more privately, for about 2900 hours in different subjects. I specialize in tutoring Physics, Chemistry, Bio, and Math (all in University and High school levels).

It's noteworthy to mention that I scored in the 99th percentile for the Chemistry/Physics portion of the MCAT (Medical College Admission Test), and the 90th percentile for Biology/Biochemistry.

Since I am a student as well, I know the points that teachers and professors emphasize on and ask questions of. I have the experience of tutoring kids and teenagers (9-18) and also college-level students (18-24), and all age groups have been great experiences for me. I believe in two-way communication between students and tutors, and I think that tutors need to understand how their students learn, and how they can be helped. In order to improve my tutoring skills, I always ask for feedback from my current students and try to deliver an excellent service that they deserve.

As for the sciences (physics, chemistry, bio, etc), I try to deliver the material in a way that students only memorize minimal info, and learn the rest. I do not believe in pure memorization, and try to connect the subject matter with everyday experience, so the students can have a better understanding.

I also spend a lot of time understanding computers and in the years 2010 and 2011, I was ranked number 1 in nationwide computer sciences Olympiads, so I feel comfortable teaching Windows too (I don't teach programming yet).

Thank you for reading this far! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me.
I hope you have a great day and good luck.
Don't forget, I'm here to help!

Great teacher

Omid was very good at explaining concepts and going over very difficult physics problems with my son. His topic was rotational motion and Newton’s law of gravity. He told me he was an excellent teacher.

Jeannie, 1 lesson with Omid

AP Physics

Excellent tutor. He was very good and explained everything in a way that made a lot of sense , using understandable examples. He also made sure to check in a few times to see if his teaching style was fitting with how I learned. Overall, I feel like the session with Omid helped a lot and improved my understanding on the concepts we covered.

Nadia, 1 lesson with Omid

Great teacher!

Over a very short period of time Omid has helped my son go from a low B in Chemistry to an A. My son is taking pride in his considerable progress. I've noticed he is less stressed with chemistry and that this is carrying over to his semester in general. Omid is a very effective and skilled tutor and I highly recommend him!

Susan, 29 lessons with Omid

Irina, 1 lesson with Omid

Knowledgeable, patient and helpful

My high school aged son worked with Omid for one semester on Geometry and Chemistry. My son gained confidence in his work and was able to raise his overall grade in each course from a C to a B. My son looks forward to continuing to work with Omid on Algebra II.

Pam, 59 lessons with Omid
