Fall in love with Mathematics and Physics
I graduated with a master of science degree in physics from the University of Minnesota. I have a B.S. in astronomy as well as in physics, and I have great mathematics and problem solving skills. I interned at NASA Ames research center during the summer after my graduation, and I am currently working on getting back to school to finish my PhD. My future plans are to be involved in cutting edge research, but I will also always be involved in teaching, whether it is in classrooms or one-on-one …
Testimonials
David V. from Los Angeles, CA My daughter has used Sahel as a precalculus tutor since 1/13/13 (so far, 17 sessions) and our experience with her has been Great. Both my daughter and I have found Sahel to be intelligent, professional, patient, flexible and possesses excellent communication skills. Sahel has always understood the precalculus problems my daughter has presented to her and takes the extra time necessary to make sure my daughter fully understands the steps in order to complete them. As a busy parent, there have been several occasions in which I have had to change my daughter's appointment time or completely reschedule her appointment all together. Sahel has always done her best to accommodate my busy schedule and find the time to tutor my daughter, especially before a test date. Sahel tries to make my daughter, who has a difficult time with math, feel comfortable and has improved her confidence level considerably. Sahel not only understands my daughter's needs but communicates well with her. Also, Sahel has always communicated well with me, whether it has been to confirm an appointment time or inform me of any scheduling conflict. I would highly recommend Sahel as a math tutor to anyone seeking the qualities I have listed above.
Phillip A. from Los Angeles, CA My experience with Sahel was excellent. She made a project I thought to be difficult very clear and she explained things in a way that I totally understood.
Sybil S. from Los Angeles, CA Sahel is bright and energetic, a great match for my son who was struggling with Algebra. He has a renewed love for math with Sahel's assistance. His grade has soared.
Danielle L. from Manhattan Beach, CA Sahel is a wonderful tutor!! She was able to squeeze me in last minute for a large numbers of hours to study for my astronomy midterm. I'm not a science person, but Sahel was able to break down the material in a way that made sense to me. She was very patient and made sure we kept up a good pace-- we got an incredible amount of review done in a very short period of time! Sahel is super friendly and made me feel as ease the moment I sat down with her. Before meeting with Sahel I was worried that I might not pass the class. Now, not only do I have a grade I never thought I could get, but I thoroughly understand the material. I highly recommend Sahel: she's the best!
Meredith P. from Los Angeles, CA Sahel's sessions have really helped me. She breaks down each problem step by step so I can understand. It's always a pleasure and not to mention she's always on time! A++
Aly G. from Woodland Hills, CA I am taking an unbelievably difficult Astronomy course! My professor has very high expectations for students, who are given limited instruction. That is where Sahel came into the picture. She knows the material already, and does not need to refer back to the book. I recommend her!
Howie M. from Santa Monica, CA Sahel went above and beyond her requirements for the assignment. She is an excellent tutor, really knows her subject and was happy to help me. She conducted the session by e-mail and phone so no matter where you are on the planet, use Sahel! By the way, she contacted me at the exact moment she was supposed to and she sent me wonderful notes that we discussed.
VANESSA F. from Los Angeles, CA Sahel is extremely educated and works with my high schooler with fun, but lets him know she is serious about her lessons with him. She needs no interaction with the parent but once and jumps right in and takes over just like a true professional. I have no doubt my son will soar through the end of 12th grade with her. Brilliant!!!
Daniel A. from Los Angeles, CA Although she wasn't familiar with the MCAT physics portion, she was a good tutor. I would definitely use her again if I didn't find a tutor who specializes in the MCAT.
Anthony P. from Panorama City, CA Sahel is a bright and intelligent person who is very knowledgeable. She is able to take complex mathematic concepts and break them down step by step in order for the student to have a better understanding of the problem. She's very punctual and flexible with her schedule. Therefore, setting up a lesson time to meet with her for tutoring was no problem. Sahel is kind and patient which helped put me at ease in understanding Geometry. She's a terrific tutor and I would recommend Sahel to anybody who needs tutoring in Mathematics.
Joanna B. from Los Angeles, CA Sahel is patient and knowledgeable. My 8th grade daughter and my fifth grade son both love working with her. She is kind and really knows how to explain things to give them both a better understanding of the material they are working on.
Robert F. from Pacific Palisades, CA We've tried several tutors for our son and we are so happy to finally have found Sahel. She is patient, clear in her explanations and thorough in the work. Our son improved significantly in his first exam after one lesson with Sahel and has continued to increase his grades. We could not have found anyone better!
Hope B. from Los Angeles, CA Sahel is an excellent algebra tutor. She is always on time, friendly, patient and smart. My daughter LOVES her... and so do I.
Nan S. from Beverly Hills, CA Sahel is punctual, pleasant, prepared, knowledgeable, and experienced. She tutored my 5th grade daughter to prepare for a Milliken math exam. I was able to give her topics, and she took it from there. She understood exactly what she needed, and she made good use of her time. We will definitely ask her to tutor again.
Elena K. from Santa Monica, CA Sahel is a wonderful tutor and I am so happy that she is working with my daughter on calculus. She is also very easy to work with.

Julie B. from Studio City, CA Sahel is an amazing tutor! My son says she's helped clarify so many physics concepts and really provided him with a great understanding of complex problems in his class at UCLA this summer!
Ron S. from Beverly Hills, CA Sahel not only cares about my son's success while she's tutoring him, but she also follows up on her own unpaid time, to email him exercises to practice during the days he doesn't see her. We absolutely love Sahel and highly recommend her to anyone who's in need of a great Algebra/Biology tutor.
Ine K. from Culver City, CA Sahel has always been helpful to my daughters. She is patient, sweet, helpful, knowledgeable, and punctual. Sahel brought to my attention that this year the girls were placed in a lower level math class than their ability. Thanks to her, my girls were able to move up from 8th grade math to Algebra. We all love her. I would highly recommend her.
