His Tutoring Philosophy

Abdullah is invested in the success of every single student he tutors.

During his high school years, Abdullah’s had some good and not so good teachers. The good teachers inspired him to follow their example of helping students discover the singular joy of the learning process.

Abdullah’s greatest fear is that the mind-numbing monotony of conventional teaching methods will cause students to close their minds to the universe’s astonishing wonders. The tragedy of that is if you stop being inquisitive, you’ll never have the intellectual drive to carry you to your full potential.

His positive experiences of consuming creative online educational content has convinced him that every student can develop a keen passion for learning if presented in a fun and engaging way.

He’s honored to have the privilege of tutoring students and takes this responsibility seriously. He’ll go out of his way to help students with things that go way beyond testing, such as college applications. He’s also resoundingly optimistic about students’ abilities to succeed, so he’ll explain things in alternate ways if one method isn’t working.

How He Ensures Your SAT Success

Abdullah never lets his students forget that they all, without exception, can get the SAT score they always dreamed of.

He can relate to students so much better than older tutors can because he only recently took the SAT, and it’s still fresh in his mind. He ensures that his students will increase their scores by working with them on three things:

  • Filling in knowledge gaps and making sure they understand key concepts
  • Teaching tips, tricks, and strategies
  • Ensuring students practice regularly with high-quality material
