Hello! My name is Busayo, and I’m currently a medical student at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. I graduated from the University of Florida with a degree in Biomedical Engineering, where I spent all four years actively involved in tutoring and teaching. My experience began as a student counselor and tutor for a year-long summer engineering program, where I guided incoming college students through fundamental STEM concepts using hands-on, project-based learning. Later on, I served as a Teaching Assistant during my junior and senior years, providing one-on-one academic support, running review sessions, and helping students build confidence in their coursework. In addition to tutoring, I founded and led the University of Florida's 3D Printing Club, where I introduced students to design software like AutoCAD, Onshape, and TinkerCAD, and helped them bring innovative biomedical projects to life through modeling and prototyping.
As someone who has navigated the rigors of both engineering and medical school, I understand how challenging and overwhelming academic life can be. My own journey through the early years of medical school wasn’t without struggles, but it taught me how to develop effective study strategies, manage time, and remain resilient in the face of difficulty. These experiences helped shape my tutoring philosophy: I strive to meet students where they are, break down complex topics into understandable parts, and offer both academic and emotional support along the way. I believe in creating a supportive learning environment that not only improves grades but also builds long-term confidence and critical thinking skills.
Whether you’re looking for help with technical subjects like CAD modelling and biomedical engineering or need support navigating the challenges of pre-med or medical coursework, I’m here to help. I’m passionate about teaching, and I’m excited to share the tools, mindset, and knowledge I’ve gained to help you succeed and thrive!
