About Usman


Bio

Hey this is Usman! I am an Ursinus College Summa Cum Laude grad with a double major in Biology (honors) and Applied Ethics. Throughout my undergrad I tutored organic chemistry, chemistry, biology, and biochemistry. I tutored 1 on 1 but also would teach supplemental instruction classes where essentially I was group tutoring. Throughout my journey I have had countless mentees. Each of my mentees would go on to score really well in their exams and get admission into their respective graduate...

Hey this is Usman! I am an Ursinus College Summa Cum Laude grad with a double major in Biology (honors) and Applied Ethics. Throughout my undergrad I tutored organic chemistry, chemistry, biology, and biochemistry. I tutored 1 on 1 but also would teach supplemental instruction classes where essentially I was group tutoring. Throughout my journey I have had countless mentees. Each of my mentees would go on to score really well in their exams and get admission into their respective graduate schools.

I am currently pursuing my MD/PhD at Thomas Jefferson University, completed USMLE step 1 (75th percentile), completed my PhD with numerous first author manuscripts, and now in my last year of medical school. I love to mentor students and guide them through the process, especially those interested in the MD/PhD route.

I spend my free time working on the board of a couple nonprofits, one of them being a free clinic in Philadelphia. I also enjoy playing sports (basketball and football mainly) and reading books. I am an avid hunger games fan and recently started reading a lot more nonfiction. My favorite nonfiction books are by Atul Gawande.

I received an A+ in both of my organic chemistry classes and my introductory biology classes. My science GPA was a 3.9 and I received a 95% percentile score on my MCAT (129/128/130/130) and I have completed medical and graduate level courses.

Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions about medicine, MD/PhD, or simply need help going through a manuscript.

Usman was the perfect tutor

I could not have hoped for a better MCAT tutor. Usman was incredibly helpful, simply irreplaceable, as I studied to take the MCAT. He helped me in nearly every aspect of my studies. He helped me create a broad study plan, determine which resources to use and when, pace my studying, understand challenging material, apply my learning to both real-world examples and MCAT questions, understand the exam, gain advantages through test-taking strategies, and review my practice exams, and more. Most importantly, Usman is a wonderfully kind and supportive person who became a friend during over the course of my studies. He is patient, encouraging, non-judgmental, reliable, professional, compassionate, and genuinely wanted me to succeed on the exam beyond the expectation of a tutor. His continuous support, including texting after tutoring hours, helped me immensely throughout the 6-month study course. Thanks to Usman's tutoring, I got a 98th percentile MCAT score. I cannot recommend him strongly enough.
