Biology for Medical Students with Preparation for USMLE Exams

From 76.6 C$ /h

I hold a PhD in Biomedical Sciences, Biochemistry, and Molecular Biology. I am currently working as a researcher at the Hospital Universitario La Paz in Madrid, Spain. I have over 15 years’ experience in teaching medical students and have designed and taught courses in order to prepare for the USMLE exams. Can teach in both Spanish and English, though English is a must if you are preparing for the USMLE exams. All topics needed will be covered and special emphasis on material that are repeatedly included in the exams will be done.
I teach online by sharing a screen with a prepared PowerPoint presentation containing all the information needed for the session. You can ask as many questions as you want until you fully understand the topics being taught. All sessions will have clinical cases embedded within and I will teach you strategies on how to quickly and correctly answer them.

If you're looking for an organised and professional teacher to help you achieve your academic goals, look no further! The IB science subjects can be extremely difficult to go through on your own, and I'll be glad to use my experience to help you out.

A couple of things I like to do:

- Initial test or interview to assess your level.
- Use Notion as a platform to share all my resources.
- Use mock papers that lay out the exercises JUST like in the real exams, so you will feel really prepared.
- I give homework when appropriate.
- I provide any kind of mentoring and college counseling. People who study Biology and Chemistry usually want to pursue a clinical career-- and that is a complex process!

Do you want to maximize your chances of passing the entrance exam to study medicine and dentistry in Belgium? This training is for you!

Less than 7% of enrollees passed the exam in 2022. More than 93% of enrollees will therefore not be able to start their dream studies! Half of the exam covers topics as varied as ethics, empathy, communication and reasoning. Even if we all have notions on these subjects, few are those who have studied these subjects. By following my personalized training, you will study the basic theoretical notions, you will understand the requirements of the competition, you will learn the tips and tricks of the questions and you will practice on the exams of the previous years.

This individual online training was successfully given to students in Belgium, France (mainland and overseas) and Switzerland; they have multiplied by 10 their success rates in the competition! Plan your success to study and pursue your dream career

I can offer help in courses of Chemistry and Biology. This applies to all levels from High School, A-levels, IB up to university courses. I am a graduate of the Maastricht Science Programme from the University of Maastricht.
I believe that subjects such as biology or chemistry should be understood and not just memorized and I have worked hard as a tutor in MSP to convey this message to my students as well. I am excited for this new endeavor and I am eager to help you achieve your goals.

For any questions do not hesitate to contact me.

Anatomy is best understood by visualization, i will be starting from the basics of how to visualize and understand the concept behind the organization of body parts, neuroanatomy, including embryology and histology. Also how it is important in clinical applications will prepare the students for further examinations
I will be using chalk board method to do the same. In that way it will be more beneficial to understand and remember.

I hold a Doctorate in Pharmacy and 2 Masters degrees from the University of Paris V René-Descartes.
Since the beginning of my higher education, and since I established myself as a freelancer after 10 years of managerial career in the pharmaceutical industry, I have been used to regularly giving private lessons to pupils and students of all levels, Primary, Secondary and Higher, supporting them until they pass their exams.
The main disciplines in which I support students are essentially scientific.
The perspectives offered are transdisciplinary.

Are you preparing for the GAMSAT and feeling overwhelmed by Section III?

The Reasoning in Biological and Physical Sciences section is not a standard university science exam—it is a rigorous test of critical thinking, pattern recognition, and data interpretation under immense time pressure. To excel, you need more than just rote memorization; you need a strategic approach to problem-solving.

As a US-trained Ph.D. Scientist with over 10 years of teaching experience, I specialise in transforming complex scientific concepts into clear, manageable, and highly understandable lessons. My background spans advanced Chemistry, Medical Biochemistry, and Computational Biology, allowing me to seamlessly guide you through the toughest biology, chemistry, and physics questions the GAMSAT throws at you.

What you will learn & My Methodology:
🎯 Strategic Thinking: We move beyond simple memorization. I will teach you how to analyze complex questions critically, interpret data rapidly, and extract key information from dense scientific passages.
🔬 Solid Scientific Foundation: We will build and reinforce the essential principles of Physics, General/Organic Chemistry, and Biology, tailored exactly to the depth required by the GAMSAT syllabus.
📚 Advanced Learning Tools: I provide professionally structured, screen-sharing-friendly study guides formatted in LaTeX. Furthermore, we will implement evidence-based retention systems like Anki (spaced repetition) to ensure you permanently retain complex metabolic pathways and physics formulas for exam day.
💡 Simplifying the Complex: I break down intimidating topics into easy-to-understand segments using visual aids and interactive exercises to maximize your retention and minimize study fatigue.
