Ali is a positive, patient, and reliable tutor who has 6 years of experience as a private tutor. Ali started off tutoring his friends in organic chemistry and moved on to physics, chemistry, biology, and a variety of other topics. He’s tutored students from ages 8 to 30 and can connect with many different educational backgrounds because of these experiences. Ali's goal is to help students develop the long term skills necessary to excel not only on exams but in their future careers in medicine, and he hopes his own students go on to teach others these same lessons along the way. He is very invested in the success of his students and will help them break down complicated vignettes and develop a strong question strategy to tackle the boards. He is determined to continually improve not only his students’ scores but also his teaching ability and is very open to dialogue about how best to move forward if certain teaching methods aren’t working. Ali may sound tough as a tutor, but his sunny disposition will make this as enjoyable a process as studying for Step can be!
