Fourth-Year Medical Student Specializing in Step 1/2 Tutoring

Amir K.

Hi! I am a fourth-year medical student at the University of Colorado with a passion for teaching and medical education. Through my education, I have loved helping students build their confidence and motivation by overcoming their obstacles and understanding concepts beyond just memorization. I have a strong academic background in both clinical and didactic settings, and I am excited to help you in any step of your medical journey! My teaching philosophy revolves around adapting to your learning style so that you can grow your critical thinking, problem solving, and long term fundamental understanding of difficult topics. Whether its medical school course work, USMLE Step 1 or 2 testing, MCAT material, or a science course, I focus on working with you to help them through your struggles, and to also share my struggles as a student and how I navigated them. I believe that success in academics comes from learning methods that help you navigate weaknesses, although learning is not easy, with the right framework, any student can achieve success.
During college, I served as an teaching assistant for molecular biology where I taught weekly recitation sessions of 30 students each. In this role I would lecture on science content, facilitate active learning, ask and answer questions, and promote collaboration in a classroom setting. I also have multiple years of one-on-one tutoring in biology, physiology, and chemistry to both high school and undergraduate students.
I hope to pursue medical education as part of my career as a physician and tutoring allows me to combine my interests in teaching, mentorship, and medicine.
