About Sultan


Bio

I am currently a 4th year medical student at Nova Southeastern University. I previously graduated from the University of California, Santa Barbara with a degree in biological sciences (honors) with an emphasis in immunology.

I have performed exceptionally well on numerous standardized tests including:
1) Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) | Score: 38 (99th percentile)
2) Dental Admissions Test (DAT) | Score: 24 (99th percentile)
3) United States Medical Licensing Exam (USMLE) Step 1 |...

I am currently a 4th year medical student at Nova Southeastern University. I previously graduated from the University of California, Santa Barbara with a degree in biological sciences (honors) with an emphasis in immunology.

I have performed exceptionally well on numerous standardized tests including:
1) Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) | Score: 38 (99th percentile)
2) Dental Admissions Test (DAT) | Score: 24 (99th percentile)
3) United States Medical Licensing Exam (USMLE) Step 1 | Score: 261 (98th percentile)
4) Comprehensive Osteopathic Medical Licensing Exam (COMLEX) Level 1 | Score: 812 (99th percentile)
5) USMLE Step 2 | Score: 271 (98th percentile)
6) COMLEX Level 2 | Score: 742 (96th percentile)

I achieve success with my students by minimizing the memorization of facts, and instead focusing on the conceptual understanding of information. For example, when studying physiology I helps students focus less on what a system is doing and more on the homeostatic rational of why a system is doing it. This style of logical thinking creates a more fun learning environment while giving students more flexibility in applying their knowledge, translating into significantly higher test scores.

Chemistry

Chemistry

- 1 year of general chemistry and lab taken at UCSB - 1 year of organic chemistry and lab taken at UCSB - Worked in a physical chemistry lab for 3 years at UCSB
Genetics

Genetics

I have completed two upper division courses at the college level in prokaryotic and eukaryotic genetics, as well as having tutored the subject for the MCAT. I believe that I am well qualified to tutor this subject due to my extensive experience in the area.
MCAT

MCAT

I have been tutoring online for the MCAT for the past month in physical sciences and biological sciences and am a great tutor. I scored a perfect 15/15 when I took the MCAT last August, as well as scoring a 14/15, 98-99 percentile, on the physical sciences section. This places me in the top 1% of all examinees.
Organic Chemistry

Organic Chemistry

I have competed a year of organic chemistry at UCSB as well as lab. I have been tutoring all summer for the MCAT, which includes organic chemistry. I believe I am well qualified to tutor this subject.

Great Tutor!!!

Sultan is an excellent tutor. His schedule is very flexible and he is very knowledgeable amongst many subjects. He has tutored me in Chemistry and Calculus. Sultan helps me conceptualize the information I am learning, rather than memorizing. He uses concepts I have learned in past classes to relate to the concepts I am learning currently. I have seen a huge difference in my grades and I go into the exams with much more confidence. I also retain what I learn now, rather than memorize and forget it after the exam. Sultan is an overall great guy, I would recommend him to anyone in need of tutoring.

Extremely helpful MCAT tutoring

Sultan has been extremely helpful during the MCAT studying process. The very first meeting, he made me a schedule and has individualized each session to meet my needs. He has been especially helpful in the physical sciences, but very encouraging and positive about overall improvement. He is organized, understanding, and accommodating. I have seen improvement in my score and have increased test taking confidence after only about a handful of sessions. I highly recommend him!

Very helpful!

Sultan has been helping me prepare for the organic chemistry section on the MCAT. Organic chemistry is not my strength, but he's been really focusing on teaching me the underlying fundamentals, and my understanding has greatly improved even after only a few sessions. Because I'm not just learning the reactions but learning why the reactions are occurring, my ability to answer any and all questions on the subject has tremendously increased, regardless of any curveballs the MCAT might decide to throw at me! He's very prepared for each lesson (has great study materials available), always punctual, and responds quickly to emails. I highly recommend him!

Great Tutor

Sultan is an awesome tutor, he really helps you understand the material rather than memorize it. One of his best abilities is how he interrelates topics, so for instance, if you do not know the answer to a certain question, you can recall other related information in order to deduce the correct answer. Also, he is incredibly helpful when answering questions. For me, there was not a question he did not have an answer to. And on the off chance he did not have the answer, he would look it up immediately and explain it via email after the lesson. He provides great tricks for memorizing and deducing formulas from other easier to understand formulas. All in all, he is a fantastic tutor who really helped me understand the material rather than memorize it. I would recommend him to anyone.

Very helpful, even with such a short amount of time

I came to Sultan with about a month left before my MCAT. He was very helpful and knowledgeable about all the subjects required. I spent the month doing lots of practice questions, and he helped explain questions and content that I struggled with in a way that it connected to other concepts as well. I feel like this approach helps build an understanding of a topic rather than just memorizing it. I live on the East Coast and go by EST and scheduling was never an issue. I highly recommend his services. He really wants you to understand the concepts so that you are able to apply them better, and in turn, improve your MCAT test taking skills.

Organized, Understanding and Knowledgeable

Sultan is a great tutor! He is very prepared and organized with great software that allows for tutor session notes to accessible online. From only 2 sessions before my 3rd chemistry midterm I had a 27% grade increase! I went from 60% to 87%!

Great tutor!

Sultan has been tutoring my son in high school chemistry for the past couple of months and they've been moving through the material fairly quickly, making the sessions with Sultan very cost-effective. My son finds Sultan's explanations clear and organized. Sultan has a great personality and seems to make the lessons interesting and fun. He is easy to reach by email, text, or phone and is always on time for the appointments.

Amazing Tutor

Sultan helped me improve my MCAT score by 8 points. He is extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for help on the MCAT.

Excellent tutor!

Sultan is tutoring our son in Algebra 1. He is very calm and has a lovely manner. Our son really likes him and feels very comfortable and also feels more confident after his sessions. Thank you Sultan.

Great tutor, patient and has all the materials.

Sultan was a great tutor for my preparation for taking the MCAT. He helps you understand the subject by teaching you the concepts behind a mechanism or formula instead of memorizing every little fact. He is very patient will skip around subjects based on what you want to learn or feel weak in. He is very patient and will help you understand a question or passage until you get it right. He also uses tutoring software so he is available across the globe. Recommend.
