About Me

Hello! My name is Qays (like "rice" but with a "k" = "Kice") Abu-Saymeh, and I recently graduated from the University of Kansas Honors Program with a Bachelor of Science in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology and Psychology. This fall I will be attending medical school in Kansas City. As an undergraduate teaching assistant for the introductory biology course in college, I focused on assisting the professor with teaching biological concepts in a one-on-one and group setting. I would assist by creating workshops that allowed me to assess student's learning and help with understanding specific materials that they struggled with. By also having office hours frequently, I became well-versed in different learning styles of students and answering their questions. Additionally, weekly meetings were held with the professor and other teaching assistants to ensure student success by discussing their responses and preparing for administering the material for the following week. Through this experience, I have developed essential training skills for working with different learning preferences and accommodating student's needs resulting in positive feedback at the end of each semester with my students. Prior to college, I have had tutoring experience with students from K-12 years in many different subjects including Reading and Comprehension, Mathematics (Algebra to Calculus 3), Science (Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Environmental Science), and History. Leading sessions in these subjects with students helped them improve their proficiency in all areas and build on their learning skills. Having this knowledge, I also provide tutoring services for the ACT.As a future medical student, I have had great review over MCAT related subjects including Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Reading and Comprehension, Psychology, and Sociology.
