Taariq H - Tutor in Franklin Roosevelt Park
I am a current 4th Year Medical Student at the University of the Witwatersand. I enjoy learning about about the world around us and how processes work, as well as passing that knowledge onto others. I try to break principles down in order to help learning. I feel understanding concepts, and applying them in situations like past papers, helps learning, and goes much further than brute memorization. I matriculated with 10 distinctions in 2016, before being accepted to study medicine at various Universities, including UCT and Wits. I was awarded the H.S. Ebrahim Memorial Medal for Physiology and Medical Biochemistry, given to the top Medical student in Physiology, as well as the Laurie and Flossie Adler Award for Haematology, given to the top student in Molecular Medicine. I have tutored various students privately, as well as for the Wits Office of Student Success (OSS).

Subjects taught
-
Chemistry
Chemistry, along with Physics, is one of the more difficult subjects in school. I have extensive experience of tutoring Chemistry, as well as access to past papers and notes that may help with learning. I matriculated with 97 percent in Physical Science (Physics and Chemistry) in 2016, as well as 90 percent in First Year Chemistry, giving me a good understanding of the course work.

Molecular and Cellular Biology
Molecular and Cell Biology is a constantly evolving field. I completed a full course in Molecular Medicine in my 2nd Year of Medicine, and am well placed to know, understand, and teach the elements of this field. Molecular pathways are one of my personal interests. I was awarded the Laurie and Flossie Adler Award for Haematology, given to the top Molecular Medicine student in Medicine, with 92 percent. Covered in the course were diverse fields such as Immunology, cellular replication, microRNAs, molecular cancer characteristics, infectious diseases, genetics and signalling pathways.
