• When did you develop an interest in your chosen field and in private tutoring?

  Medicine has been always one of my most favorite disciplines. The contemplation of the human body and the illnesses curing aspect of it. Understanding all the relevant psychological events and mechanisms of all the existing diseases have always been fascinating. I decided to spread the knowledge and comprehension of this subject as much as I could using this platform where people come for assistance. It is amazing how simple manoeuvres can save lives and I love to teach and discuss these with y students.

• Did you have any role models; a teacher that inspired you?

  The teachers I came across during my studies and medical residency have all been immensely helpful and assisted me in gaining all the knowledge and experience that I needed. One of my Neurosurgery Consultants has been my role model as he performed hours of surgeries with pure dedication and focus and his success rate was higher than all of the doctors working alongside him. His passion for Neurosurgery, his patience for long surgeries, and his willpower to do the best for his patients all made me more passionate about my studies and the healthcare profession.

• What do you think are the qualities required to be a good tutor?

  I believe a strong passion for teaching, enthusiasm, strong will and patience is required to be a good teacher. Understanding the needs and comprehension level of each student, their strengths and weaknesses are also needed to help an individual student in the best way possible. All of this can help devise a teaching plan that is best suited for a student. Only then students can be polished to reach their full potential.

• Provide a valuable anecdote related to your subject or your days at school.

  I and my classmates used to love explaining the concepts to teach others when we had exams during medical school. I believe only a student can truly understand how another student is struggling. Most of the time, the level of knowledge and concepts of many students are at the same level and every student has a strong grasp on one or more topics, all of this help students to share their thoughts and experiences with each other to devise the best possible solutions.

• What were the difficulties or challenges you faced or still facing in your subject?

  There are a number of ways to learn online these days. It has a myriad of benefits but it also comes with a few drawbacks. Adequate learning is not experienced by students who prefer in-person teaching and one on one sessions. However, I also tried to overcome such hurdles by choosing the best resource available to study certain aspects of different subjects.

• Do you have a particular passion? Is it teaching in general or an element of the subject or something completely different?

  Teaching is my passion since the beginning and that is the reason that even with my busy schedule at the hospital, I still manage to time my schedule in such a way that I can teach some of the students every week and spread the knowledge and experience that I have. Physiology and Anatomy are my favorites.

• What makes you a Superprof (besides answering these interview questions :-P) ?

  My passion and dedication to help my students achieve the best results and to put myself in their shoes and their specific situation makes me a Superprof. As I have gone through the phase of cumbersome concepts and huge bundles of books of medical-related studies, it makes me understand what my students are really looking for when they invest their time, energy and money at Superprof to find a Superprof like me and others.
