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!

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.

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.
