Malaikah and Misbah Padaria are twin sisters heading to UNC Chapel Hill this fall, pre-med, majoring in Biochemistry and Neuroscience, after two years teaching PreK–12 students as Senior Lead Instructors at Mathnasium.
We know it. Here's what we do to make that easier, and what the students and teachers who actually know them have to say.
Book one session or every week this semester. Pause, change the cadence, or stop anytime, no packages to buy upfront.
The free intro call isn't a sales pitch. It's 15 minutes to see if it's a fit before any money changes hands.
Your child is matched to Malaikah or Misbah based on subject and schedule, and stays with that same tutor every session.
“Malaikah and Misbah were stellar students in my class their senior year. They are both focused, but not against having a bit of fun while learning! They demonstrated deep understanding of content through the types of questions they would ask me, and the conversations they would have amongst peers. They never showed discouragement when topics were difficult, but rather took it back to square one to try to understand the concept. Either sister would be a wonderful tutor, not just for their intelligence but for their processing skills that would be incredible for other students to learn from.”
“Malaikah and Misbah were both phenomenal students throughout high school. They both exhibited a very strong work ethic and a clear commitment to success. I observed both of them in AP Literature, where they worked well with others and encouraged their classmates to keep improving. They will both make wonderful tutors; any child would be lucky to learn from them.”
“The Padaria Team (of Malaikah and Misbah) will give your student the confidence to excel in their studies through the team's depth of knowledge, healthy study habits and positive attitudes. I have taught both members of the team and have taught for the past 13 years from K-12. Both Malaikah and Misbah are two of the most genuine and sincere students I have taught and have the unique skill set to teach students of all ages in a variety of subjects.”
“They tutored me throughout my sophomore year in Math 3 and AP Precalculus, and they were a huge help! They explained stuff in a way that was simpler and made sense to me, which helped my confidence. I would definitely recommend them for anyone looking for a tutor!”
Coming soonParent testimonials. Padaria's Tutoring just launched, so we don't have family reviews of our own yet, and we'd rather wait for real ones than make them up.
Weekly sessions, one-off exam prep, or focused help on a single unit your child is stuck on. Everything is scheduled around your family's calendar.
The core of both tutors’ Mathnasium experience, building number sense early, then algebra, geometry, and beyond.
Drawn from two future Biochemistry & Neuroscience majors, grounded in how the material connects, not just memorization.
Reading strategy and writing support for younger students building fluency and older students tackling essays.
Same GPA, same Mathnasium center, same AP Chemistry, Biology, and Calculus coursework, same college this fall, different students should still expect one-on-one attention, not a franchise rotation.
A quick, casual introduction to Malaikah and Misbah, their grades, their APs, and what two years at Mathnasium actually taught them.
Trained and mentored 10+ new instructors and co-hosted math game nights on top of her own tutoring load. Also a certified lifeguard and swim instructor, with years of practice keeping younger kids calm, patient, and willing to try again.
Tutors math from elementary foundations through Calculus, and leads her school's Key Club and HOSA chapter. Volunteers in the surgery unit at UNC Health, and is used to explaining things clearly under pressure.
15 minutes, no cost, tell us what your child needs help with and what's not working right now.
Subject, grade level, and weekly cadence, matched to one tutor. You'll leave the call with a clear rate, no published rate card, because no two students need the same thing.
Screen-shared worksheets and practice problems, worked through together in real time.
So you always know what's improving and what still needs work, no surprises before a report card.
You'll always work with Malaikah or Misbah directly, not whichever instructor is on shift that day.
Two years of Mathnasium instruction, taught the same patient, encouraging way it always has been. They're genuinely invested in whether it clicks.
Both scored in the 99th percentile on their own college entrance exams, so EOG, EOC, and standardized test prep comes from people who know exactly what's being tested.
Every student's needs are different, so pricing is set after a short conversation, not pulled from a published chart. Book the free intro call and leave with a clear rate and proposed schedule.
Every session is held over Zoom with screen sharing, so your child works through problems live with their tutor, just like sitting side by side.
With years of experience under our belt, our tutoring is individualized, not one-size-fits-all. It's meant to fit the student, not the curriculum. Beyond simply teaching math, we instill confidence in the kids to engage with the math they're learning and believe in themselves. Our focus is not only improving grades, but to build independent learning skills that carry on outside of the classroom.
The sessions are adaptable to what your child needs most. That could be homework help, where we go through each problem and solidify their understanding. It could be practicing a pre-specified concept (we will provide the practice worksheets). It could also be help learning and understanding a concept. Or it could be test or quiz review, whether it's a standardized test like the EOC or EOG, or an in-school test on a few specific topics.
Each session is 45 minutes to an hour. The weekly cadence depends on what your student needs, which we will discuss in your free consultation call.
We use Calendly to make scheduling simple. You'll see real-time availability and can book sessions up to four weeks in advance, so you can plan around school, sports, and everything else on your family's calendar.
3rd through 12th grade, in Math, Science, and Reading, including EOG and EOC prep, general homework help, and focused help in a specific area of concern.
No problem, we can absolutely provide tutoring in more than one subject for your student.
Yes, you're matched with one tutor based on subject and schedule. The other can step in only if needed.
Yes. Sessions are entirely virtual, so the move to Chapel Hill won't interrupt anything. Scheduling will work around their class schedule.
