About Me

I hold a Doctorate in Biology from the University of Illinois, Chicago. I am a self-motivated, results driven individual with strong leadership and interpersonal skills and the ability to work with students of all stages and from diverse backgrounds. My life’s goal is to help improve the lives of people through biologics discovery, Teaching and Philanthropy. I strive to achieve these goals through research, teaching/tutoring, and managing my Charity Foundation. In my spare time, I watch TV shows, hung out with friends, cook or read novels.

Tutor Experience

I have over 4 years’ experience teaching college level biology courses in classroom (as a teaching assistant) and in private tutoring settings. As a teaching assistant, I plan and lead discussion sections in Mendelian and Molecular Genetics, Biochemistry, and Cell Biology. I create worksheets and practice questions to help student prepare for exams. As a private tutor, I guide students to understand and master course concepts in the above-mentioned courses as well as in research methods, and dissertation writing . I have helped improve students' grades, self-confidence and study skills. I achieved these successes in part through motivating students and practicing constructivist teaching/learning approaches.

Topic Expertise

Cell and Molecular Biology, Mendelian and Molecular Genetics, Biochemistry (metabolism, cellular respiration, photosynthesis, etc)

Client Reviews

Wonderful teaching techniques and beneficial tips!

Rashida was a very helpful tutor you can tell she knows her stuff and makes you feel comfortable asking any question no matter how silly you think it is she is a must have!

- Biological Sciences

Rashida was very helpful in her advice, thorough and precise in helping me prood read my thesis. Highly recommend

- Biological Sciences

Rashida is a very helpful and patience tutor. we faced some of technical issues with the audio, But rashida tried to fix it

- Biological Sciences

Rashida is a very friendly tutor, with a patient approach. She has identified after our first lesson where I need help and has helped me grasp and look at questions from a different angle. The best tutors are those who make it simplistic and make you wonder how could I have not known that!! Highly recommended tutor and a true credit to Spires.

- Biological Sciences

Rashida does a great job with explaining concepts that often may seem daunting but all it takes is a little more application. She makes learning new concepts and ideas simpler as well as challenges a person to work through problems on their own too, which I find is very helpful.

- Biochemistry

The lesson went smooth, communication was clear and effective. Rashida helped me understand my work better. I will definitely work with her again.
