Hi, I’m Sameer! I am an otolaryngology-head and neck surgery resident at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. I earned my medical degree from McGovern Medical School and my bachelor’s degree in Nutritional Sciences from The University of Texas at Austin. I have several years of experience tutoring and mentoring students from middle school through medical school. I have worked with students in algebra, precalculus, calculus, biology, chemistry, physics, biochemistry, and genetics, including honors and AP coursework. During college, I served as a peer tutor in biochemistry and genetics, helping students organize complicated material and prepare for exams. I have also mentored premedical and medical students, helped students prepare for the MCAT, and supported medical students studying for USMLE exams. In each setting, I focus on strengthening content knowledge while helping students improve their study and test-taking skills.
My teaching style is patient, structured, and encouraging. I begin by identifying what a student understands and the specific point where the material becomes confusing. I then break the topic into manageable steps, explain the reasoning behind each concept, and work through practice problems before asking the student to apply the same process independently. This helps me identify gaps while allowing the student to build confidence in their own reasoning. For standardized exams, I also focus on question interpretation, eliminating incorrect choices, high-yield concepts, time management, and realistic study planning. I tailor each session to the student’s learning style, academic level, and goals, whether they need ongoing support, preparation for an exam, or stronger study habits. My goal is to create a comfortable environment where students feel confident asking questions and working through mistakes. I want each student to leave with a clearer understanding of the material and practical strategies they can continue using independently.
