The Tutors |
Riham Picione
Riham earned her bachelor's degree in Chemistry from St. Louis University in Missouri. She started her career as an applications scientist for world-renowned instrumentation companies. After moving to Daytona Beach area in 2007, she decided to apply her strong communication skills to teaching rather than selling. She started out teaching at Daytona State College as a Supplemental Instructor in Anatomy & Physiology and is also a certified high school chemistry teacher. She quickly fell in love with tutoring as she saw many students improve their grades vastly and in disciplines ranging from Chemistry to Algebra to SAT Prep and everything in between. She has a keen intuition for understanding people that when applied to a one-on-one tutoring setting, she can quickly identify a student's area of weakness and get to work on it right away. Her teaching motto is patience, trying different methods to explain a problem and the use of technology to augment understanding. Here is what her students are saying about her: |

"Amazing!"
- Rachel, Port Orange, FL on 7/15/14 "Riham was an amazing tutor. Very flexible, patient, and quick to respond to communication. I was in a bit of an emergency case and Riham met with me for multiple hours a day, 7 days a week. She was very knowledgeable and made concepts easy to understand. If I ever need another tutor in the Port Orange area, I will definitely choose her again." "Fantastic Tutor For All Sciences! Great With Teenagers!" - SASHA, Deland, FL on 2/27/14 "If you are looking for an extremely intelligent tutor for any of the sciences (we used her for an honors high school chemistry class), who is also skilled at teaching and reaching her student, then Ms. Riham is the tutor for you. She was fantastic with our daughter! Knew exactly how to approach the material and explain it in a way that allowed our daughter to understand it. She literally took our daughter's grade from an F to a C in just two one hour sessions. My daughter actually managed to get an A on her next test!! We highly recommend her!" "Great, dedicated tutor!" - Sheila, Daytona Beach, FL on 2/28/14 "Riham has been a great chemistry tutor for my 15 year old son. She is very dedicated and enthusiastic, and she tries to make learning chemistry fun and meaningful. She is very reliable, positive, and she has been a great help to us." "Great Teacher" - Karen, Oviedo, FL on 4/27/15 "My daughter came home from her first Algebra 2 session with Riham and told me that she had learned more from Riham than any other teacher she has had. Thank you Riham....Just wanted you know, you are helping Jessica more than you could imagine! Not only did she text me after her lesson with you today "I love my tutor", but then she called me and told me how much she felt like you cared about her learning. Jessica said you make her feel comfortable and when she doesn't "get" something, you are patient to explain to her until she understands and that you don't get frustrated with her!!! Thank you so much for helping her gain confidence, it will help her have a desire to learn which is the biggest hurdle Jessica has had with math. You have made a big difference!!" "Miracle Worker!!!" - Molly, Deland, FL on 10/1/14 "My daughter has been working with Riham for a week and what seemed like the impossible, passing Algebra 2, is starting to feel possible!! Thank goodness for you Riham!!" "Wonderful and Caring" - Ashley, Edgewater, FL on 6/2/14 "Thank you so much for all your help. You have helped Ashley tremendously." |
