Hood Qaim-maqami
MHS JUNIOR - HONORS STUDENT
Hi, my name is Hood. I'm a committed student and I'm most interested in computer science (with a focus on cybersecurity), mathematics, and writing. Over the summer, I participated in the Weston Science Scholars program, studying Marine Biology and trying to learn how to stop invasive species. Due to my passion for these subjects, I'm able to provide guidance and make difficult concepts more enjoyable to learn. I've been described as patient and approachable, and I really try to discover a student's unique learning preferences so I can bring out their best. When I'm not in class, you can find me at practice with the high school rowing team or getting in my reps at the YMCA. I also love listening to music, playing chess, and doing my best to give back to the community.

Jake Pearlman
MHS JUNIOR - HONORS STUDENT
Hey there, I’m Jake. My favorite subjects are history, science and math. I’ve recently become obsessed with statistics and sports analytics after a summer program at Wharton and I've created an MHS club for people who share this interest. I love a good challenge. Whether it’s AP Physics, climbing the Rockies or crushing my competition in Fifa, I'm up for it. I’ve been tutoring for 4 years now and love to help others learn strategies to succeed. I’m easygoing and patient and know how to make one-on-one tutoring seem like a fun activity rather than a chore for younger students. I am a sports fanatic and a die-hard Giants fan, but I’m still willing to tutor fans of all teams except the Cowboys (just kidding). In my free time, I love to hang out with friends, play tennis, box, ski, hike, work out, listen to music and watch stand up comedy.
Favorite Movie: Avengers Infinity War
Favorite Music Genre: Hip Hop

Preston Ward
MHS JUNIOR - HONORS STUDENT
Hello, I'm Preston. I thoroughly enjoy history and math and have been tutoring peers and younger students for several years. I also work with children at Kumon and as a counselor at Willow Lake Day Camp. I try to foster a positive, fun and comfortable learning environment for kids who may be struggling and encourage students to ask questions, as I believe the people who ask the most will learn the most. I'm an avid soccer fan and enjoy playing as well. I’m a hardcore Manchester City supporter and closer to home I help manage the Montclair High School soccer team. I'm also a member of Montclair High School’s Black Student Union. In my free time, I enjoy sports, video games, skiing, music, cooking, riddles, superheroes, movies, tv shows and most of all, hanging out with friends.
