Islam: Villa Park tutor
Certified Tutor
My name is Islam Hasasna. I am a junior student at temple university majoring in biochemistry and my minor is chemistry. I worked as a tutor at community college of Philadelphia for almost two years. I am working now at temple university as a tutor for math, general chemistry, organic chemistry and physics. My dream is to become an experience cardiologist. I am planning to take my MCAT test on July 2017 and start medical school on Fall 2018. I am doing volunteer at Fox Chase Cancer center in infusion room. I am also doing volunteer at university of Pennsylvania. I am also doing research at Jefferson Hospital. This opportunity will benefit me for the future and it will open a path of possibilities for me in regards to future jobs and helping people. This position will expand my view in life and provide me with future references. I already decided that nothing will stop me from achieving my dream.
