Hello! My name is Osamah and I am a rising 2nd year medical student at Brody School of Medicine. I graduated from UNC Chapel Hill and the Gilling's School of Public Health with distinction in 2023. I majored in Biostatistics and minored in Chemistry. At my university, I worked as a peer tutor for Organic Chemistry 1 and 2, Anatomy and Physiology, and Biostatistics. I believe that visual processing and interactive applications nurture proper conditions for learners to critically think about and grasp difficult concepts. Therefore, I prepared visual tools and asked inquisitive, step-by-step questions to guide my peers towards understanding the content we covered together. I was always keen to incorporate real-life examples in tackling tricky concepts. This helped my students explain their problem approaches, elevate their understanding, and improve their academic performance in their respective courses.
After college, I studied for a total of six months for the MCAT while also being a full-time student at an Arabic Institute. Here, I learned how to create a disciplined and structured timeline to prepare for and receive a 516 on the MCAT. Although I have enjoyed tutoring many subjects, I am excited to tutor for the Chemistry/Physics and Biology/Biochemical sections of the MCAT as I received 131s in both sections and would love to share my methods in any way possible. Juggling school or work while studying for the MCAT can be daunting, and I aim to navigate my students through their ideal schedule to prepare them the best for success. Having been through the application process myself, I also have experience editing and writing personal statements to create a competitive application that has aided in admission to medical school.
