Second year Harvard Medical School Student

Ammar D.

I’m a second-year student at Harvard Medical School who scored in the 99th percentile on the MCAT and passed USMLE Step 1. I specialize in helping students prepare for the MCAT and Step 1, as well as guiding applicants through the medical school application process.

My teaching philosophy focuses on building deep conceptual understanding and strong test-taking strategies, rather than memorizing endless details. Medical exams nowadays reward students who can recognize patterns, reason through unfamiliar problems, and apply core principles—skills I help my students develop. I work with students to break down complex topics into clear frameworks, connect concepts across subjects, and approach questions strategically, all in the least amount of time possible.

I was a Supplemental Instructor at USC and have taught Organic Chemistry to over 300 students, I have taught MCAT and helped students get 520+ above scores, and am also teaching USMLE Step 1.
