Award-Winning MCAT Tutors in Delaware County, PA

Before I had...

My name is Jamal Alafifi. I graduated from the University of Arizona in 2009 with a Bachelor of Science in Microbiology and I hold a Master of Science from SUNY-Upstate Medical University. In my spare time I like to work out, go hiking, and play golf....

...them in their future academic endeavors. I have been an advocate for the advancement and growth STEM education since my freshman year of undergrad. I've found one of the best ways to enhance STEM education is to make sure students understand key concepts and receive quality assistance outside the classroom in the form of tutoring.

For a bit of background, I graduated from Amherst College with a B.A. in Architecture & Environmental Studies. After...

I am originally from Edmond, Oklahoma. I am a biomedical sciences graduate student at Drexel University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I am currently working toward medical school matriculation and I hope to be a cardiologist one day. I enjoy being outside and I like to take hikes with friends.

Asking engaging, challenging questions about the content frequently and having the student explain the content in their own words are important tools. This insures that they are digesting and appropriately recalling the material.

...and a range of SAT Subject Tests and AP Exams. Since I spend so much of my time studying sciences as a medical student, I like to tutor English and Verbal sections of standardized tests for a change of pace. My interest in the English language started as an AP English student in high school, took form in an English minor at Lehigh, and now continues in my tutoring sessions. I think all students should...
