Hi, I'm Musa, a pharmacist, scientist, and biotechnology leader with more than 15 years of teaching, tutoring, and mentoring experience. Throughout my career, I have combined my passion for science with a commitment to helping students build confidence and succeed academically. My background includes extensive experience in biology, chemistry, pharmacology, biochemistry, and pharmaceutical sciences, both in academia and the biopharmaceutical industry.

I currently serve as an Executive Director and Site Head at a leading biopharmaceutical company, where I lead scientific and manufacturing organizations responsible for developing peptide therapeutics. Prior to this role, I led the Production Scientist team at PolyPeptide Group, one of the world's leading peptide pharmaceutical companies. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of how scientific concepts are applied in research, medicine, and drug development, which I bring into every tutoring session.

In addition to my industry experience, I taught and managed the Advanced Clinical Excellence in Pharmacy Program at the USC Mann School of Pharmacy, where I worked with pharmacy students and international pharmacists preparing for the FPGEE and advanced pharmacy coursework. Over the years, I have taught and tutored high school students, college students, graduate students, and healthcare professionals in both classroom and one-on-one settings.

My tutoring approach focuses on understanding rather than memorization. I tailor each session to the student's learning style, simplify complex concepts, and help students develop the critical-thinking skills needed for long-term success. Whether you're preparing for an exam, improving your grades, or pursuing a career in healthcare or science, my goal is to help you achieve your academic and professional goals with confidence.

Approved Subjects

Arabic

Arabic

I lived for almost 26 years in Jordan, so Arabic is my first language. In addition to that, I used to teach Arabic for Foreigners in my country at all levels for reading, listening, speaking and writing. I also taught advanced Arabic I and Advanced writing for Arab students.
Biology

Biology

As a pharmacist, I took many classes covering most of the Biology field, including but not limited to general biology (the cell, respiration, mitosis/ meiosis, physiology, photosynthesis, evolution, etc.) I mastered Biochemistry as well as Molecular Biology. I use this knowledge every day in my current position, ensuring I never forget it. I've tutored AP Biology, Collegiate Biology, as well as MCAT.
Chemistry

Chemistry

As a pharmacist, I have taken General Chemistry, Nuclear Chemistry, and Physical/Medicinal Chemistry. I'm an expert in all types of reactions and formulas (stoichiometry), stereochemistry, and many other topics. At Shire Pharmaceuticals, we use many of these chemical concepts (pH adjustments, alcohol/ temperature adjustments, precipitations, etc.) to purify our proteins of interest.
Organic Chemistry

Organic Chemistry

As a pharmacist, I have taken all related organic chemistry classes. I'm an expert in all types of reactions and formulas (stoichiometry), stereochemistry, and many other topics. At Shire Pharmaceuticals, we use many of these chemical concepts (pH adjustments, alcohol/ temperature adjustments, precipitations, etc.) to purify our proteins of interest. I've specialized in carbon chains, structural isomers, functional groups and their relative reactions (SN1, SN2, E1and E2) in addition to many other topics.
Pharmacology

Pharmacology

I have a degree in Pharmacy from the University of Jordan, and have expertise in Pharmacology and Pharmacotherapy. I passed the FPGEE (Foreign Pharmacy graduated equivalency examination) from (NABP) National association of Boards of Pharmacy in 2012. I've been a tutor for almost 4 years in the subject matter related to Pharmacology/ Pharmacotherapy/ Biopharmaceuticals/ Immunology/ Medicinal Chemistry/ Instrumental Pharmacy/ Physical Chemistry.

Last minute Tutor was Great!

I was able to find Musa after a failed tutor experience for my daughter last minute. He was very kind to jump on a session with my daughter within 15 minutes. He really helped my daughter understand the concepts of chemistry honors for her test.

brings AP Bio concepts to life in an entertaining and clear way

Musa's been really helpful to my daughter who is an experiential learner and is/was struggling with a flipped classroom, where all lectures are watched at home on video. She was feeling like she was self-studying the entire AP Bio curriculum. As someone who learns best by asking questions as the concepts are presented, my daughter is way less confused, thanks to Musa's colorful examples and fun personification of complex biological processes.

Lucinda, 13 lessons with Musa

Great tutor, nice and very patient to students

Anthony, 1 lesson with Musa

Great Tutor!

Musa is incredibly knowledgable and patient. He was able to simplify complex information for my son (chem honors) and make it easy to understand and remember everything. My son is looking forward to more lessons with him!!

Jennifer, 2 lessons with Musa

Knowledgable, Fast, and efficient

Musa took what I had sent him for a presentation, and delved very deeply into it over an hour! He was able to explain concepts I have had trouble with very easily.

Emmanuel, 1 lesson with Musa

Very patient, knowledgeable and flexible tutor

I have 2 lessons of medicinal chemistry with Musa. I am very very impressed with his knowledge of Med Chem. He is very patient, flexible. He is willing to ask what I needed to learn before the lesson. I went to a C- to an A on a quiz after 2 lessons. I highly recommend Musa if you need help with Med Chem. Med Chem is a very difficult subject, and Musa taught the subject well. Highly recommended.

Christina, 36 lessons with Musa

Highly recommended!

This was the first AP Biology session for my 11th grade daughter with Musa. He clearly explained and made her think. He also asked questions essential to the topic along the way. This session made her more confident about the upcoming quiz. He was very flexible about time and location and very punctual too. We will book more sessions with him as needed.
