About Farhad

Before I specifically focused on USMLE exams, I taught a vareity of medical topics to medical students of all levels. And in my experience, I have found that students find the lengthy, arduous usmle exams the toughest of all. I have met students so scared of the exams that they end up postponing them needlessly resulting in burn out and counter productive efforts in their bid to improve their score. Since the past 2-3 years, I have focused on helping these students face their biggest fear with a well thought out student centered approach. Before I get into my teaching techniques, here is my brief background:

I am currently working as a research fellow at Cleveland Clinic, Ohio. I have cleared USMLE exams with the following scores: Step1 261, Step 2 CK 263, CS pass 1st attempt. I have lived in the US in my journey and have interacted with many students and mentored them through their exams. I have a total of 3 years of teaching experience in medical field.

Now, coming to my teaching strategies, I always try to know my students in my first session. It gives me invaluable information about their study habits and type of resources that suit them. I also try to develop a healthy, professional teacher-student relationship with them as I feel this is an essential part of keeping them motivated and feel valued to get the best out of them.

Here are some of the basic points for my course blue print:

1- Set realistic but ambitious goals

2- Keep the teacher-patient relationship as a reciprocal one. I will give you my best but you have to give me your best too and I guarantee that you will exceed your goals.

3- Set milestones along the way, achieve them and treat yourself by taking breaks to avoid burn out.

4- Focus on Question solving techniques more than on objective knowledge. I truly believe that a vital factor for scoring really HIGH in step 1 and 2 is the ability to 'pick questions'. By that I mean, focusing everything you know and not know to get to the right answer in the given time. So, Questions are the KEY. I will help you by techniques that specifically target this aspect.

5- Spaced repetitions of what you have learnt. I will give my students short one line questions within my sessions to keep them actively thinking so that the learned information is easily accessible at any time.

6- Motivation. Sometimes students feel low, depressed and think of giving up. This is the time I will set aside the studies for a bit and focus on motivating you. DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE the importance of this. I have seen students exceed expectations just because they had positive energy around them.

7- Focusing on difficult/confusing topics and improving the weaknesses. STEPS are all about balancing different subjects and a small amount of improvement in your weak areas can translate to a 10-15 point increase in your scores. I am excellent in identifying and improving the weak subjects by subtly focusing on them in my lectures/sessions without the student even realizing it. The results of this will pleasantly surprise you.

8- My last point is THE STUDENT. Just be open with me and do tell me about what is bothering you in studies and I will give my all for you. You, the student are my priority. I assess myself on your performance. So, believe me when I say this, We are in this TOGETHER.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I hope to hear from you.

1- I am a physician

2- Having cleared Step 1 and 2 myself scoring 261 and 263 respectively has provided me with personally tried and tested learning strategies which I have successfully incorporated in my teaching for my students. I keep myself up to date to the tested concepts and focus on these for my students to get the best results possible.

3- 3 years experience of teaching medical students pursuing USMLE for a residency in the US.

4- Outstanding results of my students
