About Abbas


Bio

Hi, I'm a medical student at LSU SoM working towards my M.D. degree. I have successfully completed courses including Gross Anatomy (w/ dissection lab), Medical Biochemistry, Medical Physiology, Biostats/Epidemiology, and many others. During my undergraduate years, I also challenged myself by taking plenty of upper level/rigorous courses -- these courses included Anatomy & Physiology (A&P), Biochemistry I, Biochemistry II, Vertebrate Physiology, Molecular Biology, Embryology, Histology,...

Hi, I'm a medical student at LSU SoM working towards my M.D. degree. I have successfully completed courses including Gross Anatomy (w/ dissection lab), Medical Biochemistry, Medical Physiology, Biostats/Epidemiology, and many others. During my undergraduate years, I also challenged myself by taking plenty of upper level/rigorous courses -- these courses included Anatomy & Physiology (A&P), Biochemistry I, Biochemistry II, Vertebrate Physiology, Molecular Biology, Embryology, Histology, Genetics, and Cell & Molecular Bio. Earning an "A" average in the aforementioned courses, I was awarded with the 'Biological Sciences Achievement Award,' at the end of my senior year. I'm grateful to have graduated with Magna Cum Laude Honors; completing my B.S. degree in Biology with a minor in Chemistry.

For the next ~2 years, until I started medical school, I went on to gain some truly invaluable clinical experience working as a Medical Assistant. Undoubtedly, I learned so much from that clinical experience, as it not only just further solidify that I was choosing the right career path; it allowed me to finally understand what intrigued me about the field of medicine, and science, as a whole. From the intricacies of the human body, to helping me apply and further integrate my classroom knowledge via a clinical standpoint.

As a tutor, I want to help explain many of those "challenging/complex" topics, in a way that will help you, or your child, truly grasp and retain that information What I find intriguing about teaching, regardless of whichever topic, is finding a way to explain it differently. And by differently, just in a way that topic can actually be understood well; even by one who has brief, if any prior knowledge of it. I always keep in mind what would have helped me learn the same exact subject more efficiently, only if it was explained in "simpler" terms, per se. Because often times, if a topic is overwhelming, more than likely, it can very well be understood if taught from a different perspective.

Approved Subjects

ACT English

ACT English

I have always enjoyed editing essays for friends, colleagues, etc. Scored a 30 on the ACT English section without much preparation at all, including a 35 on a timed practice test. Took AP English in high school, earning credit for college entry-level English. Then took two more English courses as well (English Composition & African-American Literature).
Anatomy

Anatomy

Successfully completed Gross Anatomy with dissection lab during first year of medical school!
Biochemistry

Biochemistry

I self-studied Biochemistry prior to taking the MCAT my first time. Then took, two semesters worth during my senior year (Biochemistry I and Biochemistry II); received an A in both courses, including highest grade in my class for Biochemistry I. Finally, took Medical Biochemistry as a freshman in med school and high-passed the course, including passing its national board exam. Biochem is undoubtedly my favorite subject to tutor!
Biology

Biology

Majored in Biological Sciences, graduating with Magna Cum Laude honors. Had an overall 3.98 Biology GPA during undergrad, while taking tough, upper level courses such as Molecular Biology, Genetics, Vertebrate Physio, Biochemistry I, Biochemistry II, Embryology, and more.
Elementary Science

Elementary Science

In M.D. school so have taken way too many science courses. Always did well in science courses in elementary school and middle school as well, earning Breakfast of Champions honors. Scored a 100% here.
Grammar

Grammar

Always done well in English courses during all of schooling. I have edited professional school statements for friends, colleagues, etc. Scored a 30 on the ACT English and Reading sections. Passed this quiz with a 100%.
MCAT

MCAT

Took the MCAT exam twice. Scored a 504 before taking Biochemistry in my senior year, then a 507 the summer after graduating college. Earned a B.S. in Biological Sciences and now in 2 years into M.D. school. I have learned test-taking skills and time management throughout the years. I believe efficiency and focusing on the high-yield material is the ultimate key for the MCAT. The amount of time spent reviewing/prepping is not positively correlated to your ultimate score. Highest scores from my two attempts were 127/127/126/130 (CP/CARS/BIO/PSYC).
Pharmacology

Pharmacology

Studying pharmacology related to every organ system currently in medical school. Along with pathophysiology, has provided an extensive knowledge related to the topic. This includes: MOA, clinical use, adverse effects, antidotes, and more related to a plethora of drugs. I know drugs based off their categories, suffixes, prefixes, binding site. Also worked at a clinic for two years where I wrote down medications for every patient which also helped me learn the generic and brand names.
Physiology

Physiology

Completed Vertebrate Physiology with lab and Anatomy & Physiology with A grades, receiving the highest GPA in my A&P course. Have finished Medical Physiology in medical school with a high pass grade (>80% average). Also passed the Med Phys NBME board exam for the course.
Proofreading

Proofreading

Just like English, proofreading, writing etc., I enjoy editing papers, and proper grammar usage. I have edited professional school statements for friends, colleagues, etc. Scored a 30 on the ACT English and Reading sections.
Psychology

Psychology

Scored a 130 (97th percentile) on the Psych/Soc section of the MCAT. Also, honored my Human Behavior & Development course in medical school. Psych is one of my top, favorite subjects to explain/discuss.
