Fardeen M.

I am currently on the pre-med track and studying for my MCAT. I am very passionate about learning and teaching the natural sciences and am happy to leverage my strong science background to help younger students who are struggling to realize their full potential which will help them succeed in STEM-related careers, healthcare, etc.

I have 1 year of previous tutoring experience in my local neighborhood teaching middle school kids in Queens, NYC. I am open to teaching from elementary to high school level.

In addition to basic introductory BCPM courses in college, I took many challenging upper division courses including (but not limited to) biochemistry, neuroanatomy (which I got an A- in), cancer biology, cognitive neuroscience, and psychopathology.

I truly believe that the importance of scientific literacy goes beyond the classroom and getting good grades. A basic understanding of biology, chemistry, and physics is essential for the average citizen to understand the science behind everyday activities like cooking/baking, make informed decisions about their health, knowing how devices work, and more.

In addition to science tutoring I am eager to teach ESL to new immigrants arriving in the US, as I am the child of immigrants myself and I get the struggle of learning English for newcomers to America. I'd like to be exposed to people from different cultures from my own with the intention to strengthen cross-cultural understanding while teaching them a new language.

I am bilingual in English and Bengali, and I also scored a 680 on the SAT verbal section (90th to 95th percentile) back in 2019 when I took the test and am also scoring above average on CARS (the MCAT's reading section) on AAMC practice tests, which is far more complex and convoluted in its use of the English language than the SAT).
