Atousa P.

Hello, my name is Dr. Atousa P., and I’m passionate about helping students succeed in math, science, chemistry, and physics. I earned my Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from York University, where I taught and supported a wide range of courses— from physics and chemistry labs to advanced engineering design and sustainability courses. I’ve also worked closely with high school students through STEM outreach programs, guiding them in hands-on projects that make learning both practical and fun.

I believe every student learns differently, and my goal is to create a supportive, confidence-building environment where they can thrive. Families often describe me as patient, approachable, and encouraging. I take complex topics and break them down step by step, making them easier to understand and apply. Whether a student is struggling to keep up or aiming to excel, I tailor lessons to their pace and strengths.

I offer both in-person and online tutoring, always ensuring sessions are structured, engaging, and connected to real-world applications. My aim is not only to help students improve their grades but also to spark curiosity and build lifelong learning skills.

I’m excited to partner with families to help students grow in confidence and discover the joy in learning math and science!
