I am a graduate of University of Chicago and a current graduate of Holy Family Red Crescent Medical College. I have been teaching for the last 5 years and am very passionate about helping students achieve their goals. I believe a great teacher puts their students need first, and adheres to their students learning style. I am currently applying for residency in General surgery and I believe that I would be an excellent tutor to help you score well on your board exams. In my experience, helping students with crushing their board exams have been the most enjoyable because it allowed the students to have a tangible outcome on their future. With high stake exams its necessary to have a tutor who best understands your style of learning and tailors the experience to your needs. I look forward to working with you.
Aaya
Applied Mathematics Tutor • +38 Subjects
As a former IB student, my love for knowledge runs deep. I majored in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, graduating in December 2015 with honors (BME honors and Science and Technology Honors program) and going on to earn a Master's degree in Management Information Systems from the same university in 2019. I am currently pursuing a Master of Engineering in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning from the University of Illinois at Chicago and hope to start a career in data science and analytics. I greatly enjoy helping others learn and tutored throughout high school and college; I love seeing the light flash on in a student's eyes when they finally understand something they had been struggling with or when they easily solve a problem. I have tutored both young children as well as high school and college students, in just about every subject. I particularly enjoy language tutoring; I am fluent in Arabic and French and I love literature and poetry. I also love to tutor math and science subjects. My tutoring style is very much student-first; I listen and observe to determine the best approach for each individual student and what methods or strategies will be most helpful for you specifically. I am not averse to making a fool of myself with song or dance if it will help! I enjoy what I do and I want the students I work with to enjoy learning as well.

Frequently Asked Questions
Many anatomy students get stuck memorizing isolated terms without grasping how structures relate functionally. A tutor can help you build mental models by connecting anatomy to physiology—explaining why the heart has four chambers, how the structure of arteries differs from veins based on their function, or how skeletal leverage works. Using diagrams, 3D visualization, and tracing pathways (like blood flow or nerve signals) transforms memorization into genuine comprehension, which makes retention easier and exam performance stronger.
Spatial reasoning is critical in anatomy, and many students find it challenging to translate flat textbook images into 3D mental models. Tutors can use interactive tools, model demonstrations, and guided drawing exercises to help you build spatial awareness. They'll walk you through how to mentally rotate structures, understand cross-sections, and visualize how organs relate in three-dimensional space—skills that are essential for success in lab practicals and clinical applications.
Anatomy courses often teach systems in isolation—skeletal, muscular, nervous, circulatory—but real understanding requires seeing how they work together. A tutor can help you map these connections: how the nervous system controls muscles, how the skeletal system protects organs, how the circulatory system delivers oxygen to tissues. This systems-thinking approach deepens comprehension and prepares you for physiology and clinical coursework where integration is essential.
Lab practicals require recognizing structures quickly under pressure, which demands different study strategies than lecture exams. Tutors can simulate practical conditions by having you identify structures from multiple angles, using unlabeled diagrams, and practicing with actual lab models or images. They'll also help you develop systematic scanning techniques and mnemonic strategies specific to your course's anatomy model, ensuring you're prepared for the exact format and pace of your practical exam.
Directional terminology (anterior/posterior, medial/lateral, proximal/distal) and planes (sagittal, coronal, transverse) are foundational but confusing for many students. A tutor will use your own body as a reference tool—having you physically orient yourself and apply terms to real structures—making them concrete rather than abstract. With consistent practice and spatial reinforcement, these terms become automatic, which accelerates your ability to understand anatomical descriptions and excel in coursework.
The most common trouble spots are the brachial plexus (nerve branching patterns), the anatomy of the foot and ankle (complex articulations and ligaments), and the deep structures of the neck and pelvis (crowded, layered anatomy that's hard to visualize). The brain and spinal cord also challenge students because of their complexity and the need to understand functional anatomy alongside structure. Tutors who specialize in anatomy know these sticking points and have targeted strategies to break them down into manageable pieces.
Many anatomy courses now integrate clinical correlations—explaining why certain injuries occur, how disease affects structure, or why a doctor examines specific landmarks. Understanding the 'why' behind anatomical knowledge makes it more memorable and meaningful. Tutors can connect structures to clinical scenarios relevant to your course level, whether that's explaining nerve compression injuries, understanding surgical approaches, or recognizing how anatomical variations affect patient outcomes—deepening both understanding and retention.
Effective anatomy study combines multiple modalities: labeled and unlabeled diagrams, 3D models (physical or digital like BioRender or Visible Body), dissection images, and active recall practice. The best approach depends on your learning style and course requirements. A tutor can recommend which tools work best for your specific topics, help you use them strategically, and guide you toward active learning techniques (like teaching back to the tutor or creating your own labeled diagrams) rather than passive review—which significantly improves both understanding and exam performance.
