Tutors

Hello! My name is Yasser, and one of my passions besides playing tennis and getting outside time (when we get the chance at least), is to tutor. I’ve tutored friends and family members since high school and I’ve also worked as a substitute teacher. I’d be more than happy to help with TBL, ILS, DSA (all blocks except HDM) as well as TDP. Looking forward to meeting and working with you soon:)

Hey everyone, Ramiz here (pronounced like Ramen, but with a “z” at the end haha).  I have prior experience in teaching an Intro to Biology course during my time as an Undergraduate student and loved every bit of it.  I am looking forward to continuing my teaching endeavors.  The following are a few blocks/courses that interest me the most: MSK, Cardio/Pulm, Renal, Endo/Repro, GI, OPP, and TDP.  Whether you need help with a specific block/topic or just want to kick-it, I’d love to help out in any way that I can!

Hey future doc, I know you have lives to save in the future, and I would love to collaborate together to help you achieve your greatest goals. My name is Jacob Afable, and I am a passionate learner who loves using creative, yet effective study techniques to help my students thrive in school. I am all about collabs and would love to help tutor in a core block or longitudinal courses in any way I can with my background of tutoring at a college and graduate level. Your happiness and success is my greatest joy. I am ecstatic to tutor in MCM, HDM, Renal, and Endo/Repro.

Hi friends! My name is Bahar and I’m here to be a helping hand along the way.

Hello! My name is Valeria, a first-generation Latina who is excited to help you survive medical school! I was an Instructional Aide to high school students prior to arriving at CHSU, so I am familiar with tutoring one-on-one or in groups. As a native Spanish speaker, I can help with Medical Spanish. I am also comfortable tutoring for OPP, MCM, Renal, Endo-Repro, and Cardio-Pulm. I am excited to work with you and help you reach your goals!

Hi there! I’m from San Francisco and I graduated from UC Berkeley with a degree in Molecular and Cell Biology – I’ve previously tutored Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry during my time there. My tutoring style is synthesizing class material into a digestible manner starting with basic fundamentals, building the scaffolds, and leaving no stones unturned. I feel confident in tutoring for MCM, HDM, Cardio/Pulm, Renal, OPP, and TDP – Excited to be a part of your journey towards academic success!

I have a variety of teaching experience from being an undergraduate biology TA, training my peers as a manager at Chick-fil-a, and training new CNA’s at an acute care hospital during my gap years. I am passionate about learning have taken multiple classes on how to learn, and how to teach, so I am prepared to find resources that best fits your learning styles! I am often a visual learner personally, so drawing and making diagrams are my go-to. I strive to be a friendly face and will always find an answer to any questions you may have!

I believe that the best way to learn is to start with a big picture and they dive into the details. In my tutoring experience at Junior College, I have tutored 1:1, small and large groups. I understand and acknowledge that every student has a unique learning style, and I strive to cater to these individual needs in each tutoring session. I believe that with patience, understanding, and effective teaching strategies, every student can reach their full potential. I am confident in tutoring all blocks, TDP, and OPP.

Hey everyone, my name is Katrina! I’ve loved my past experiences tutoring and mentoring students in undergrad and can’t wait to work with you! Connection, empathy, and understanding the root problem are some of my strengths when helping others, so if these are qualities that you would like in a tutor, please don’t hesitate to reach out!

Hi peers! I have been a tutor since I graduated high school. My undergrad was in Biochemistry at UCLA. The hardest thing in med school is not having enough time to absorb the materials. I will show you different tricks and ways to understand the materials better in the least amount of time. If you struggle with MCM, MSK, HDM, RENAL, ENDO/REPRO, CARDIOPULM, or OPP please reach out!

If you are reading this, hiii! I like to think of medical school as a marathon, not a sprint. I’m here to help you on that marathon! I have had prior clinical experience working in the ER and in a Surgery practice that I would love to give insight on.  I’m also here help out in core classes in Biochemistry, HDM, MSK, Cardio, Renal, ERS, GI, TDP, and Med Spanish.

Hey everyone! I’m really excited to help you on your journey in medical school. I understand the epic highs and lows of medical school, and that’s why I can’t wait to make my place in your support system as we take on medical school together. Please feel free to reach out if you need help with any of your longitudinal or system-based courses. I’m looking forward to meeting you!

Medical school can be challenging and I know how it feels to need that extra support. I’d love to be a help in any way I can. A lot of my experience has been tutoring middle schoolers in science and ELS, which has helped me learn to cater to different learning styles. I look forward to tutoring MSK, C/P, Renal, Endo/Repro, GI, and TDP!

Hello. I am excited to serve you as a tutor. If you need help with OPP, Cardio, or another class, feel free to reach out, and I am happy to assist you in whatever subject you need. Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you have a pleasant rest of your day.

Hello! My name is Arimi! I really enjoy helping other people achieve their goals in whatever way that might look like. I have experience as an Organic Chemistry II tutor and in training Behavior therapy clinical skills. Whether you need help in HDM, Endo/Repro, Cardio, need a listening ear, or help in any block, I would be honored to share that experience with you.

Hello! I have a background in Neurobiology, Physiology, and Behavior (Aggies ifykyk), but overall I am more than happy to help you with TDP, OPP, MSK, and other block classes. I have also worked as a medical assistant, clinical researcher, and am trained in EMT, so I would especially love to help you with TDP/clinical skills. I want to help you find ways to memorize and understand the information beyond using Anki. I hope we can work together soon!

Hi! I’m David. If you’re struggling in any block or courses, don’t be afraid to reach out to me. I’ll do my best to adapt and find ways to support you based on your personal learning styles. To me, learning in medical school is like trying to solve a puzzle…you just have to find and put the right pieces together. Looking forward to helping you all in MSK, Cardio/Pulm, Renal, Endocrine and GI!

Hi! I have a background in teaching a wide range of topics, from English for non-native speakers to design. I am pretty comfortable explaining abstract concepts into shorthand and can help particularly with mapping out concepts for visual learners. I am comfortable helping with any block or longitudinal course, but especially MSK, HDM, CardioPulm, Renal, and EndoRepro blocks. I view tutoring as a collaborative process, and I’m looking forward to working with you!

Hello! My name is Adil Yousaf and I am excited to be tutoring my fellow colleagues. I am from Clovis, California and I attended Fresno State University. I am open to tutoring many subjects, but some blocks I am excited to work on are Renal, Cardiopulmonary, OPP, TDP, and more. I will ensure to provide productive and comfortable sessions. Please feel free to contact me.

I graduated from UCSD as a Biochem and Cell Biology major and have experience teaching undergraduate biology labs. I taught both in person and remote labs so I am comfortable doing either if need be. I am comfortable tutoring everything except Spanish and OPP. Beyond our classes, I would also be happy helping you figure out how to integrate Anki and Step 1 studying.

My experience includes working as a TA for multiple upper-division biology courses during my undergraduate career, such as Human Physiology and Metabolic Biochemistry. I feel confident tutoring any of the system-based blocks, specifically Renal, HDM, Cardio/Pulm and MCM.

I have been tutoring for as long as I can remember, and I am super excited to finally focus on tutoring medicine! I’m sure if you are enrolled in this school then you share the passion for medicine that fuels our daily efforts, and I would be delighted to contribute to the mastery of content that our profession entails. I am willing to tutor in basically any subject between OMS 1 and 2, so please reach out and utilize this great resource provided by the University.

Hey, I’m from the Central Valley and went to Fresno State. Before CHSU I’ve worked in a biochemistry lab at Fresno State, and outside of school I’ve worked for the ambulance here in Fresno. I love hiking, fishing, video games, and sports. If you see me around say hi, and if you need a tutor don’t hesitate to reach out. 

I have experience as an AVID tutor and peer mentor working in large groups and 1:1 sessions helping students understand their weak points in various classes and building upon their strengths. My educational background includes a BS in Biotechnology with a minor in Chemistry and MS in Translational Medicine. I am happy to assist in OPP, TDP, HDM, Neuro, ERM, Nephrology, Med Spanish and Cardio/Pulm. 

I have first-handedly experienced the positive impact and fulfillment of tutoring as I have tutored and have been tutored before. I’ve tutored in English and Art History and trained in a specialized laboratory bench in a Covid-19 PCR lab. I am very excited to continue tutoring and enhancing the learning experience of others by helping them identify high-yield concepts that will maximize their success not only in their courses but also on national board exams. I feel most confident tutoring the cardiopulmonary, renal, endocrine/reproductive, and gastrointestinal blocks.

My teaching experience is varied, from teaching science to middle schoolers to tutoring adults in Chinese. As a tutor, I am here to ensure that information comes across in a digestible manner. I am happy to tutor individuals in the following system blocks: Biochemistry, Musculoskeletal, Cardiology, and Renal.

I got my Bachelor’s in Biological Sciences and my Master’s in Biotechnology from UCI so to any of my fellow anteaters, “Zot! Zot! Zot!” (That was definitely not a favorite chant of mine). During my gap year, I had the pleasure of being an after-school teacher for my local elementary school and followed that experience as a full-time high school biology teacher. It was by far one of my most challenging, yet exciting, opportunities I have had thus far! I really enjoyed making strong connections with my students, getting them excited about STEM, and being a helpful resource for my students and my fellow co-workers. In terms of blocks I feel confident tutoring, I am comfortable with the majority of our core block classes (i.e. MCM, MSK, HDM, C/P, Renal, Endo/Repro, etc.) as well as TDP. My goal as a tutor is to be a friend, advocate, listener, confidante, and just a helpful resource to all fellow students!

 I have worked in an Emergency Room for five years and in a Labor and Delivery unit for two years before coming here. I was a tutor and mentor at the University of Central Missouri, and I love to help other students grow! I look forward to helping with OPP and TDP, along with MCM, MSK, Cardio/Pulm, and Renal systems. I am always open to help with questions about any other courses as well!

I enjoy explaining concepts to other students. I am excited to provide tutoring support in MSK, Renal, CP, and MCM, but I can help with tutoring anything. Do not hesitate to reach out to me.

I have an extensive background in anatomy and physiology at both the undergrad and graduate level. I have tutored first-year medical school courses at another medical school previously, and I am very familiar with the concepts, as well as many tips and tricks to master them! I am willing to tutor MSK, Cardiopulm, Renal, ERS, GI, neuro, and MOD.

I graduated from UCSD, originally from the Sacramento area– I have had past experiences in tutoring subjects such as AP Biology as well as English for non-native speakers. Subjects that I am interested in tutoring include MCM, HDM, MSK, Cardiology, and Endo/Repro.

Prior to attending CHSU, much of my experience teaching came from working in academic research. This included walking lab members through protocols and concepts pertaining to our projects. While not on campus, I enjoy playing sports, jamming to music, and playing board games. The courses I specialize in include MSK (1 and 2), HDM, Renal, MOD (1 and 2), TDP, TPP, and OPP.

I have a background as a teaching assistant in the social sciences at my undergraduate institution. I worked for two years as a medical scribe and have hands on experience with clinical skills. I am also a native Spanish speaker and currently a T.A. for Opp, I and am happy to tutor in medical Spanish, OPP, cardio/pulm, renal, psychiatry, and endo-repro!

I have experience coaching volleyball and teaching masters and undergrad students in my microbiology lab at UCSD and during my gap years. I am very passionate about OPP and the clinical skills courses and would be happy to tutor you in them. I am also confident in Renal, Cardio/Pulm, and MOD (especially bugs and drugs). 

Hi friends! I’m excited to help you on your journey through medical school. Whether it’s a core block or TDP/TPP, my approach to tutoring involves finding strategies and resources that fit your specific learning style(s). You can expect me to be your tutor, cheerleader, and overall hype woman! I’m excited to meet you!

I have various teaching and tutoring experiences before starting medical school, including working as a clinical therapist at UCLA and peer tutoring in multiple subjects throughout high school and at UC Berkeley. I am happy to tutor for MSK, HDM, CP, Renal, ERS, GI, Neuro, MOD, and OPP.

I was a learning assistant for an introductory biology course for two quarters at my undergraduate institution. I am most comfortable tutoring MCM, MSK, Cardiopulmonary, Renal, and Endocrine systems.

Hello my name is Duo- I graduated from UCLA with a degree in psychobiology. I have experience tutoring throughout my life and love to help out wherever I can. I am looking forward to helping students with OPP, TDP, Medical Spanish, and different blocks such as Cardio/Pulm, Renal, Endo/Repro, GI, and MOD. Thank you.

I’ve always found that the best way for me to learn is by teaching others. In high school and college, I hosted review sessions for myself and my peers, and postgrad I tutored neuro-divergent college students in areas of psychology, neurology, and biology. Although I am primarily a visual learner, I’ve had to adapt my methods as each block presents unique challenges. I’m more than happy to meet you where you are at, help answer your questions, and help you work out an effective way for you to study and learn. Medical school is tough – let’s share our knowledge & resources.

I’m a San Diego native and received my Bachelor’s degree in Biochemistry and Cellular Biology from UCSD. My research interests include colorectal cancer and the gut microbiome. I’m an avid Anki user and would be happy to show you how to integrate it into your studying! I am willing to tutor most courses, specifically MCM, HDM, GI, C/P, Renal, Endo/Repro, TDP, etc.

As a previous undergraduate student in human anatomy at UC Berkeley, I enjoy helping others learn whether that be through models, diagrams, charts, or videos. As a fellow medical student, I know how hard school can be and I’d love to help anyone and give little tips and tricks, especially for MCM, MSK, OPP, ERM and ILS, or any block you may need help with! Please feel free to reach out to me at any time!

I have had extensive experience tutoring, including during my time as an undergraduate student at UCSD. There, I was a TA for general physiology, including biochemistry, both rigorous upper-division courses. Here at CHSU, I am the most comfortable tutoring in the Biochemistry, Renal, Endocrine, and Neurology blocks.

I have previously tutored 1:1 and also trained medical scribes. I look forward to helping to provide some extra support in whichever block you need, including TDP and OPP. I’m open to adapting my tutoring methods to your preferred learning style, whether that be working on practice questions together or talking through concepts!

I went to the University of Pittsburgh for undergrad where I majored in neuroscience and minored in chemistry. During this time, I was an undergraduate TA for Human Physiology for 3 semesters and Biology 2 lab for 2 semesters. During my gap year, I was a chief medical scribe where I trained over 20 students how to scribe. As a student at CHSU-COM, I have helped lead review sessions for both OMS I and II students. I have also created countless study guides for my peers. Helping students in any way I can has been my favorite part of being a student here at CHSU-COM. I am very passionate about Neuro I and II, as neuroscience is my love! I am also very comfortable tutoring in MCM, MSK I, HDM, Renal I, Endo/Repro I, TDP, and TPP. My goal at CHSU-COM has always been to be the best leader, role model, advocate, and friend I can be!

My experience as a tutor stems from tutoring math and statistics in 1-on-1 and small-group tutoring sessions with other students at my previous college. I am confident in tutoring the following courses: Musculoskeletal System, Cardiopulmonary System, Renal System, Endocrine and Reproductive Systems, OPP and TDP.

I’d enjoy and feel most confident tutoring in MCM, MSK, Cardiopulm, Renal, and GI system blocks, as well as OPP and Medical Spanish. Although I’m not a “fluent” speaker, it’s worth mentioning that I have three years of Spanish experience from high school and several quarters of Spanish in college, so I feel comfortable teaching the concepts taught in our Medical Spanish course since they’re mainly fundamentals. In addition to breaking down topics for my study group, I can apply my skills as a former Supplemental Instruction Leader (SIL) to engage and facilitate active learning for students in any of the aforementioned subjects.  I’ve learned the material well enough to earn an overall A in the courses I’ve mentioned, but I also continue to retain the information long-term through spaced repetition and active recall. 

I like to cater to the type of learning style the student has because I have noticed that it helps them understand the material better. I am a visual learner, so actively visualizing the materials is what helps me during exams. I really enjoyed and feel most confident tutoring in MCM, MSK, Renal, and Endo/Reproduction system blocks.

My background is in microbiology and physiology. However, I did take a detour in my career and taught five years of high school physiology, while completing a master’s degree in education. I genuinely enjoy the combination between medicine and education, including being able to help others understand concepts in a way that facilitates long-term retention. I look forward to being able to help several medical students through tough blocks and offering my guidance or advice if needed. 

I have experience as a lead trainer for prior jobs and current hospital volunteer positions. I am comfortable with tutoring MCM, MSK, HDM (not preferred, but willing to help still), Cardio/Pulm, TDP I, OPP I, Renal, ERS, and Medical Spanish. If I do well on TDP 2, OPP 2, GI, Neuro, and MOD 1, I would also be willing to tutor those courses.

As a proud UC Irvine graduate, I find interest in the reciprocal process of teaching and learning. I genuinely empathize with students and can confidently say, “I’ve been where you are.” I enjoy teaching Renal, Cardio, and Endocrine, along with TDP, TPP, and OPP. With previous one-on-one and group tutoring experience, I’m here to support students’ success.

I have been tutoring since my undergraduate years at USC, where I graduated with a BS in human biology and a minor in healthcare studies! I also tutored while completing my MS and MPH. I am open to working with different learning styles and I love trying to explain things in ways that are understandable to people. In addition to the tutoring experiences, I have also worked as a scribe, and have volunteered as a health scholar too! Let me know if you have any questions or need any help in your blocks! I would be most comfortable tutoring MCM, Renal, and Endo/Repro, but I am also open to tutoring in other blocks, in addition to TDP and OPP! 

My tutoring experience stems from my undergraduate years at UC Berkeley. I not only enjoyed starting and teaching my own course in health and wellness for students, but also found joy in providing a safe space for students to feel validated, seen, and encouraged to seek help. My teaching style is both visual and relatable: I enjoy relating to my students’ struggles–reassuring them that I also once struggled with this exact topic and explaining things with patience and clarity. My favorite system blocks thus far have been HDM (Immunology) and Endocrine/Reproductive Systems, as they allowed me to get creative with my visual sketches and make studying much more enjoyable. As I have learned to crack the code in my favorite courses, I would love to help anyone else that is struggling and hopefully make things more clear and more concise.

In undergrad, I volunteered for the UCLA Online Tutoring & Mentoring Program and worked as a peer tutor for the Biomedical Engineering Society. I enjoy using diagrams and drawings to show my interpretation of the material, so you can expect plenty of visual aids from me. I’m comfortable tutoring MSK, CP, Renal, GI, Neuro, TDP, and OPP.

Prior to receiving my Master’s degree in Anatomical Sciences, I tutored ESL students and served as a TA for Gross Anatomy courses. I also have experience as a Life Science Instructor at Santa Monica College where I taught Human Biology, Human Anatomy, and General Biology for two years.   The blocks I am most passionate and feel most confident in tutoring are: MSK, Endo/Repro, and GI. I would also love to help with any TDP coursework or ILS-related content for any of the blocks!

Hi, so I have had previous tutoring experience teaching high school students with multiple subjects and exams as well as even adults for their work certification exams. I am also a mentor for second years, first years, and premedical students, so I can help you learn not only what you need help in, but also beyond that. Some fun facts about me is I like rock climbing, I love anime, and I have written and directed my own horror movie! Looking forward to helping you.

My tutoring style is designed to fit your needs! I am happy to discuss topics, draw on the whiteboard, or sit with you while you study and answer questions as needed. I have also tried many different studying styles and I am happy to meet to discuss options and what might work best for you! I can tutor any block course. I am also available for review and practice for both OPP and TDP/TPP Practical Exams, and we can do group practices as well.

Since my undergraduate years, I’ve been serving as a tutor and mentor. I majored in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. My approach focuses on comprehension and creating mental connections to solidify knowledge. My strong areas are MSK, Pharm, Micro, and Patho, but I’m also happy to help with other blocks such as Neuro, GI, and Renal!

I am happy to help you with any block, including TDP/TPP! I will first hear your approach and discuss some ideas to help you improve. I am also here to talk through topics with you and share some of the resources that have helped me through my first and second years. We can also have venting sessions while tutoring. Looking forward to working with you!

I have been tutoring and helping my peers excel academically since 2015, and I am eager to assist my fellow CHSU students in achieving their goals and thriving as medical students. I am happy to help in any systems and courses, specifically MSK, MCM, HDM, Cardio, Renal, and MOD.

My primary goal as a tutor is to provide a supportive and enriching learning experience. My approach to tutoring is flexible and adaptive. I firmly believe that learning is not a one-size-fits-all process, and I am eager to tailor our sessions to align with your preferred learning methods. I am comfortable helping in any blocks of OMS II.

I have been a tutor for much of my undergraduate and most of my career here at CHSU. I am always open to adapting learning styles to whatever best fits your needs and am focused on getting you all of the high-yield points to maximize your points for all exams. I am most comfortable tutoring second-year material and OPP and TPP for both years. I’m your guy if you have any questions or even want a tutor to sit across from you while you study and answer random questions and concepts! I look forward to hearing from y’all, and best of luck with your studies!

I can help integrate CHSU lectures with UWorld/step1 and TrueLearn/complex1. You wouldn’t have to work outside our sessions so I can help you build momentum for only a small and consistent time investment. Watching me attack some questions and then trying some yourself will help you build confidence in your inherent ability to handle boards while keeping up with CHSU curriculum. You may be pleasantly surprised at how this loops back and makes it easier to go through lectures! You will sharpen your skill of identifying why something might be clinically important versus things that are minutia and don’t deserve your brain space.
