Meet the Professor, Dr. Melia Khaziran!
As a life long learner, I am passionate about education and the many ways an education can lead to success in life. However, the classroom is becoming a place where students are having an increasingly difficult time learning. Most students in a classroom don’t start off with the same knowledge base, ultimately getting lost during lessons and falling behind quickly. Over the years, the most common complaint I’ve had from students is that they are so lost, they don’t even know where to start asking questions. My specialty as a tutor is identifying a student’s basic knowledge, building upon it like a pyramid, and ensuring that the student understands each step of the lesson. By developing a strong, respect-based relationship with my students, we work as a team to reach their learning objectives, succeed on exams, build confidence in learning and teach effective study methods.
Background in Education
I have been an educator, tutor, mentor, and college advisor for approximately 18 years. I am currently a college pre-medical and life science professor teaching Anatomy, Biology and Physiology. I love being in the classroom and in the lab! I am excited and passionate about education and the idea that education is about learning how to learn, communicate, listen, interpret and understand difficult concepts; not only about getting a degree.

Testimonial
I owe a majority of my success to Melia. She has worked with me since I was a freshman in college and worked through all of my pre-medicine classes with me. She has continued to help me in my masters program and applications for medical school. She is the reason I was able to be successful in my courses and has played the most influential part to my acceptance into medical school. She has been an amazing tutor but she has become much more than that. We have built a friendship that goes beyond academics and she will remain in my life even without needing tutoring. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a tutor!
Melia is an absolutely fabulous tutor. She helped my high school student go from no understanding in both lower and upper level high school math and science to passing with A’s. She explains things so that kids can understand. She creates a warm and fun learning environment making it easy for kids to relax and just grasp the concepts. She also helped my student with her college level courses too and as expected, my student thrived. Look no further for a tutor- you’ve found the right one!
Melia is truly exceptional! She began tutoring me during my freshman year of high school and continued to support me throughout all four years. Melia not only helped me stay organized with my assignments but also ensured I grasped the subject matter thoroughly. Even though she focused on one or two subjects at a time, she always kept a watchful eye on my other courses to ensure my success and maintain the A grades she knew I could achieve. Melia always knew my aspiration to attend a four-year university, and she guided me with each assignment, bringing me one step closer to achieving that goal. When the time came to apply to college, Melia played a pivotal role. She reviewed my essays to guarantee they were flawless and diligently prepared me for the SATs. Even in college, she continued to tutor me in math and science courses. I am greatly appreciative of Melia and the support she has provided me over the years!
Melia is hands-down the best tutor my kids have ever had. She always makes herself available even on short notice. My kids used to dread having a tutor, but those days are gone. Whenever they finish a session, they always feel so much more confident in the subject they are being tutored in. I cannot recommend Melia enough!
