"I am currently an MD candidate at New Jersey Medical School, where I am completing my medical education with an anticipated graduation in 2026. Prior to medical school, I earned dual Bachelor of Arts degrees in Psychology and History from Rutgers University, graduating magna cum laude. My academic training has provided me with a strong foundation in the biological sciences, clinical reasoning, and the behavioral and social aspects of learning, which directly informs how I approach tutoring students across different subjects and levels.

I have several years of formal teaching and tutoring experience in both classroom-based and small-group settings. At Rutgers University, I served as a teaching assistant for undergraduate biology and physics courses, where I supported college-aged students through review sessions, one-on-one clarification of difficult concepts, and exam preparation. In these roles, I learned to adapt my explanations to different learning styles and to break down complex scientific material into clear, manageable steps. Earlier in my academic career, I also taught Arabic studies at a weekend school, working with school-aged children and adolescents, which strengthened my ability to teach younger learners with patience, structure, and engagement.

In addition to formal academic roles, my medical training and leadership experiences have reinforced my ability to teach in high-responsibility, individualized contexts. As a medical student, I routinely mentor peers and junior students, explain clinical concepts, and help others develop effective study strategies for demanding coursework. My background as a certified EMT further sharpened my communication skills, as I frequently educated patients and team members in high-pressure, one-on-one situations. Across all of these settings, my tutoring approach emphasizes clarity, active questioning, and encouraging students to build confidence by understanding underlying concepts rather than memorizing facts." less...
