PhD Organic Chemist | Award-Winning University Educator

I highly recommend Nazanin as a tutor. She was my TA for both Organic Chemistry courses at SFU, and she was always patient, knowledgeable, and great at explaining difficult concepts in a way that actually made sense. She was approachable, encouraging, and genuinely cared about helping students understand the material rather than just memorizing it. Her explanations and guidance made a big difference in my confidence with organic chemistry. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a great organic chemistry tutor!

Nazanin was my private tutor for CHEM 282 (Fall 2025) at SFU. She had all the knowledge about the different types of reactions and substances. The practices problems and discussions helped me easily understand the concept and succeed in the course. Anytime something distracts me and I remind her, she puts it away. Nazanin is too awesome.

Nazanin was my TA for both General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry at the University of Alberta, and she was fantastic. She had a rare ability to take complicated chemistry concepts and explain them in a simple, clear way that actually stayed with me long after the course was over. She was always patient, kind, polite, and professional, and she made it easy to ask questions without feeling uncomfortable or rushed. What stood out most was how well she could identify exactly where a student was getting confused and then explain the concept from a different angle until it made sense. Her teaching helped me build a much stronger understanding of chemistry, not just memorize material for exams. I would highly recommend Nazanin to any student looking for a knowledgeable, supportive, and exceptionally effective chemistry tutor.

I had the privilege of being in Nazanin's tutorial section for CHEM 282 at SFU. She is not only one of the best TA's I have had at SFU overall but she is brilliant when it comes to Organic Chemistry. She has a gift and is able to simplify complex concepts making them very straightforward and easy to understand. She is also very patient with students of all levels and makes OCHEM far less stressful. I don't think I would have survived this course without Nazanin. She's the best!
