"The Pre-Med Academy has transformed me from an aspiring medical student into a prepared applicant ready for a career in Medicine. What sets this program apart is its intention to offer more than tutoring—it provides a team of mentors dedicated to creating formative experiences that distinguish academy students during their pre-med preparation.

Through this program, I've not only accessed opportunities I once only dreamed about, but I've also developed critical thinking skills and a level of analysis I didn't know I was capable of achieving during my time as an undergraduate student.

For students who are passionate about medicine and want to build a diverse profile while developing the intellectual rigor medicine demands, the Pre-Med Academy is an investment worth considering for your future."

“Omar was a huge driving force on my success on the MCAT as well as the medical school admission cycle. Omar helped structure my study schedule to tailor to my needs and foster the correct mindset I need to achieve my goals. I am forever grateful for Omar for his guidance and expertise. I will carry the lessons he taught me In my professional career and beyond.”

“Omar brings out the best in each student as individuals. Omar has been championing me as an individual during my time at Ohio State… encouraging me to chase my full potential and challenging me to aim for the highest peaks. Whether it be through sharing his personal experiences, drawing allusions to history/philosophy, or connecting me to specific alumni, Omar has made a profound difference in my journey. [He is] an electric asset…and I can count on him for academic advice, professional support, and the warmest motivation.”

“Your dedication to ensuring my success has been nothing short of remarkable. From the moment I stepped into your office, you welcomed me with open arms and provided me with the valuable guidance that I needed academically, and in my life.

Your passion for helping students like me reach their full potential is truly amazing. You’ve instilled a confidence in me to pursue my goals and overcome any obstacle relentlessly.

I am deeply grateful for the countless hours you have dedicated to helping me at Ohio State… I cannot thank you enough for believing in me even when I doubted myself.”

“To all the students looking for an Orgo Tutor, I cannot recommend Omar enough!

I came to him halfway through the semester and he completely changed my experience with the class.

He helped me reorganize my notes and create study plans for our time apart. We would review all my errors and he patiently explained my mistakes.

He would even show multiple ways to approach the problem asked. Organic Chemistry with Omar felt like i found the secret guide to success!

Highly recommend!!

“Gaining acceptance to medical school is a long, demanding, and often opaque process. Beyond strong grades and test scores, successful applicants must navigate a complex set of expectations—clinical exposure, research, service, leadership, and timing—where access to the right opportunities at the right stages is critical.

Simply working hard, while necessary, is not sufficient to guarantee admission. In hindsight, having structured guidance as a premed student—someone who understood the admissions landscape and could help strategically shape academic and extracurricular choices—would have been invaluable.

The Pre-Med Academy provides that guiding hand, helping students intentionally tailor their college experience to maximize their competitiveness while avoiding common missteps that can derail even highly motivated candidates.”

A dedicated team that provides tailored support and is well versed in what medical school admissions committees are looking for would have been invaluable in helping me reach my full potential as an undergraduate. A program that can shape you into the strongest possible applicant is incredibly powerful, and any student interested in pursuing medicine should seriously consider it.

“Omar played a pivotal role in my personal and professional development during college. His mentorship and the trust he placed in me allowed me to grow and take on new challenges with confidence. He had believed in me from the day we met and continued to provide me advice after the fulfillment of his duties in my post-grad. Aside from all the wisdom he holds he is a true leader who not only guides but also empowers those around him.”

“I was completely lost and did not know how to approach organic chemistry at all. I was really stressed out because of how hard the class is. Fortunately, I came across Omar and utilized his tutoring services. Immediately after the first session I knew I was in great hands. He explained everything to me in simpler terms and truthfully made the class easy for me. If I did not have Omar as a tutor specifically, I really don’t think I would have done well. Before finding Omar, I was concerned I was not going to pass Organic Chemistry. With Omar’s help, I ended up finishing the course with an A. I am so happy with the decision I made by putting my trust in Omar as my tutor. I can easily say it was worth it!”

“I am honored to share that I have been named to the Board of Advisors of The Pre-Med Academy, an organization with such a noble mission — to empower future medical doctors around the world by helping them get an early knowledge of what it takes to me a physician that can truly spend time with and help their patients in a time we need doctors like this more than ever.

This role aligns with the increasing number of inquiries we have received regarding medical school admissions, career and employment opportunities, and undergraduate admissions assistance.”

“I would highly recommend Omar for tutoring. My son was struggling, as most do, and I randomly found Omar online. He reached out right away and immediately had a game plan for my son.

After one meeting he already had noticed my sons weakness and what he had missed in previous chemistry classes(thanks COVID). He was able to get my son caught up quickly. My son felt more confident and less defeated.

I didn’t expect to hear from Omar as my son is a college student, but Omar reached out on more than one occasion to keep me updated on my sons progress. I don’t think anyone should take O Chem without a tutor or a plan. I would encourage anyone taking the class to get a tutor before the class starts.

Again, I cannot say enough good things about Omar, if you have any doubts, don’t. If anyone has any questions or needs a personal recommendation, I would be happy to provide both.”

“I cannot express how grateful I am for the incredible support and guidance I received from Omar. With his expert tutoring, I not only passed Organic Chemistry but also received invaluable assistance in crafting my essay for vet school. Omar's depth of knowledge and his ability to explain complex concepts in a simple and relatable way truly set him apart.

His dedication to his students is unmatched, and he goes above and beyond to ensure their success. Omar was even able to have a vet who had past admissions committee experience read over my essay.

Thanks to Omar, I not only achieved my academic goals but also gained confidence in my abilities. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and caring tutor.”

Thank you for such a beautiful Senior Gala. The Evening was simply amazing! I appreciated every thought and detail [your team] poured into the gala to make this moment in time an experience the... seniors will never forget.

“I wanted to say thanks for all the help and support you provided this semester. You clearly went above and beyond what was asked of you as a TA, and I’m sure I speak for everyone when I say that we owe a lot of success to you. Thank you for believing in us (even when we didn’t believe in ourselves) and for making us feel that we, too, could do great things.”

“I would highly recommend Omar & his tutoring services & chemistry resources. Chemistry has always been a very hard subject for me, and when I decided to retake Organic Chemistry, I knew I needed a good tutor in order to get the grade I wanted.

I did not want to repeat any of the mistake I made the first time I took the course, and since it was during the summer semester I knew I had less time to get acclimated to the course. Omar met with me before the class started, and made sure I was on the right track to succeed in the course. He taught me great study skills & habits, and he helped explain concepts in a way that made sense to me.

His recommendations & study strategies ensured that I stayed on track throughout the semester, and I am happy to say that he helped me receive the grade I wanted.

I know all of the skills Omar taught me will stay with me and help me greatly throughout the rest of my academic career. He is a great teacher, he’s passionate about helping his students, and he is a very knowledgeable resource for all things chemistry.”

“I struggled in chemistry but was recommended by my organic 2 professor to Omar and I’m very glad it was him. A very flexible and smart outgoing tutor that does a very good job in devising a plan to your needs.

I was struggling a lot in chemistry as a whole because my foundation of chemistry was weak and was most likely gonna fail without the aid of a tutor so I did what any good student does and goes to their professor for help which he then recommended Omar to me and I’ve never had to have a tutor for any class before so it was new to me. After a few sessions with him I figured out he was a really good guy with a drive and determination to change things which I admire about him as well as his quality of tutoring for the price he gives is unparalleled.  Safe to say I chose to have him tutor me for the semester and passed organic chemistry 2 with his mentorship!

Highly encourage anyone seeking a tutor to give him a shot and stick it out with him and your hard work and you will surely pass!

Also if you haven’t read his book How to succeed in organic chemistry, it’s very thoughtful and insightful in getting yourself to think a different way and more I would definitely recommend!”

“Omar may be the best TA that I’ve had while at Ohio State. He was not only extremely helpful during lab but made himself available to answer questions and provide feedback outside of lab. He was extremely motivating, knew the material well, and was able to explain it in a manner we all easily understood. I don’t think I would have done nearly as well in this course without Omar’s guidance.”

“For every lab, Omar explained to each set of lab hoods the main concept/procedure of the respective experiment for that week. After talking to my friends in other sections, they informed me their TA’s did not do the same. I cannot thank Omar enough for his constructive feedback and dedication to our class. I hope to have a TA next semester that’s half as good as Omar because I know it won’t be matched.”

“I have to tell you how many students have remarked about how much they appreciated your guest lecture. You were a hit! Many said you were the best guest lecturer we’ve had, and they particularly liked your clarity and your energy. I am ever grateful!”

“Omar was by far the best TA for any chemistry class I have taken at OSU. Excellent Teacher.”

“[Thank You] for being a great TA, willing to do anything to help your students succeed. I couldn’t imagine a better TA than you.”

“You were the best TA I ever had for a class! I really appreciated your knowledge and perspective when taking Organic Chemistry.”

“Since lab is coming to an end, I just wanted to let you know and thank you for making such an impact on my life.

[…] you helped me through this incredibly difficult class. Thank you so much for understanding and being encouraging the entire lab. It inspired me to change my approach in school altogether, and overall live a happier life in college.”

“I didn't really get to tell you this in lab today, but thank you so so much for being so helpful and dedicated throughout lab this semester. I know I walked in thinking that Ochem lab was going to be the hardest class ever. It has been a hard semester, and there have definitely been some long nights, but it was all worth it. I actually really enjoyed what we learned this semester, especially learning about the different reactions and mechanisms!

So In my long and rambly way, thank you for making a seemingly impossible and stressful class doable and much less stressful!”

“Omar played a pivotal role in helping me achieve my goals. His combination of knowledge, personalized guidance, and motivational support truly set him apart.

Omar’s dedication and expertise was instrumental in my success. From the outset, it was evident that he possessed an unparalleled knowledge of the subject matter, making each session an enlightening and productive experience.

Omar put together a personalized study schedule that kept me on track and optimized my preparation. He really recognizes the uniqueness of each student and tailored our sessions to address my specific strengths and weaknesses, ensuring a targeted and efficient approach to mastering the material.

In the challenging journey, where perseverance is key, Omar’s encouraging words and motivational messages served as a driving force. The ability to uplift and instill confidence is a hallmark of a great tutor, and Omar excelled in this regard.

Omar consistently went above and beyond! I am grateful for the impact he has had on my journey, and I would recommend him to anyone seeking an exceptional tutor in any realm of academia.”

“Going into Ochem, I quickly realized how difficult the course load and material could be. With weekly meetings with Omar, I was able to bring my grade back up and finish the class successfully. He gave me great insight into the work, and many tips and strategies that helped me understand the course better. Ochem is a lot of work, but putting in the effort with someone like Omar helping you can make it possible.”“Going into Ochem, I quickly realized how difficult the course load and material could be.

"I feel so lucky to have had Omar as my TA for my first semester of OChem lab. He was extremely organized and always willing to help, both inside and outside the class. I felt that he was very fair in grading and he was VERY encouraging throughout the semester. He made me want to try harder just to prove to myself that I could do it. Omar went out of his way to teach us the lecture material during late each week, and he is the only TA I know who did that. I will mis him next semester, but still plan on going to his office hours frequently as those were a huge help to me this year. Omar is, by far, the best TA I have had at OSU so far."

"Omar was an amazing teaching assistant. He was very invested in our success in this course, and I feel that without his persistence and help, I would not have been as successful. He made Ochem lab fun and I feel like I really learned the material because of his in-lab "lectures.""

"Omar was the perfect lab TA. He went above and beyond what was required of him. He answered all questions I had and helped simplify some of the more difficult topics into something I could understand. When we would enter our lab room, he normally had an illustration of the procedure, key points to remember, and reminders for that week and the next week all neatly printed on the broad. He was always so cheerful. While we would be freaking out about a recrystallization or something, he would be right there smiling, making a joke, calming us down, and walking us through it. I'm truly going to miss seeing him every week. It's not that often that you meet someone that makes a lasting impact on you, but Omar is that type of person. He changed the way I studied, and the way I looked at chemistry, and the way I approached problems in general. Words cannot describe how appreciative I am that I had a TA as outgoing as him. Best TA ever."

"Phenomenal TA. Wish I could have him for other classes. He knows this stuff, comes prepared, and really works to make sure we understand the material rather than just get an answer."

"I can't say enough about [Omar's] love for teaching and desire for his students to succeed. He put in an incredible amount of time into his work, and was always very happy to be there. He went above and beyond what other TA's would do, and I think we all had an advantage over other sections because of it."

"I love Omar so much. He genuinely cares about his student and goes above and beyond to be there for them with his office hours and during class. His emails are funny too and always help to remind me of what I should do to be keeping up with in the course."

“Better and more helpful/knowledgeable than any TA I’ve ever had. Seriously, this dude deserves an award.”

“One of the best TA’s I’ve ever had. Very knowledgeable and eager to help.”

“Fantastic TA!”

“Best TA I’ve ever had. Omar made sure I understood the material and expected nothing less than [our] best.”

“Omar was the best TA I’ve had in college. He’s awesome.”

“[Omar] shows that he cares and wants you to do well.”

“He was very involved, highly motivated, and helpful. I especially appreciated the “mini-lessons” he would give to us to help us understand the questions on the lab report.”

“[Omar] brings passion and intensity to teaching. I’d give him a 12/10. Best TA I’ve ever had.”

“[Omar was] extremely motivated and knowledgeable. Always pushes students to work hard [&] do the best they can.”

“Omar was one of the best, if not the best, TA I’ve ever had.”

“The best TA I’ve had at OSU. Cares about his students more than any other TA or Teacher I’ve ever had.”

“Omar [was] the best teaching assistant I’ve had in any class at OSU.”

“[Omar was] by far the best TA I’ve ever had. Not only did he help us directly with Chem, but he helped motivate us for our education in general and showed genuine interest in our plans after undergrad. [He was] knowledgable, wise, and qualified to teach Ochem [&] taught very well.”

“Omar is the best science course TA I’ve had at OSU. He cares so much about the success of his students.”

“Probably one of the best [TAs]. He was always very enthusiastic about learning and always want us to push ourselves to learn. He went above and beyond what I expect from a TA.”

“Omar is an excellent TA. He truly wants students to understand concepts and pass with flying colors in this course.”

“[Omar] cares about his student’s success and seems dedicated to making sure students understand the concepts instead of just trying to get a good grade.”

“[Omar was] one of the best [TA’s] I’ve had. Really cares for the students and does everything he can to help them succeed.”

“Omar is an excellent teacher, speaker, and knowledgeable of interdisciplinary concepts. Omar is one of the best, undoubtedly.”

“Best TA ever!!! Seriously, no one else compares. This is the first time… I’ve felt a TA/Instructor has seen me as a real student and human rather than just a grade…”

"Easily one of the best TA's I have had. Always prepared for lab and understood all concepts completely. Able to answer all questions and encouraged students to work hard. Omar was invested in every student and unwilling to allow them to fail. This man deserves some sort of special recognition."

"I already gave my evaluation of Omar in class, however, to reiterate: Omar strives to have every student succeed. He is nothing but willing to help in almost any way possible. His example set ups and board notes during late are extremely helpful, and in my experience, very good at preventing typical careless late mistakes. He is constantly trying to inspire his students to achieve their potential. There was never a question that I asked him that he was unable to answer. Very knowledgeable, even for a TA. I have never had a better lab TA in all my years at OSU."

"Omar was the best TA I've had at Ohio State. He truly wanted every student to succeed and was a great deal of help throughout the semester. He made late enjoyable and organic chemistry more interesting."

"Reviewing the important topics covered in lecture during lab when there was time was really helpful. Important details were pointed out which otherwise might have been missed. The weekly emails made sure we knew everything that was supposed to be done for that week; they were helpful as well. Definitely kept the quote that "fear corrupts," even if students start to skip oner that part of the email because it's perfect for octhewm and it's completely true for everything in life. The board was well organized with what was to be done with lab, tips for the lab, what was due after lab, and having preparations for the next lab. Having a demo of the lab also helped to make sure we were setting up and doing the lab correctly. Using the day off to review for the midterm was a great idea, especially since we would normally be there anyways."

"I do not know how I would have made it through this class without Omar. He went above and beyond to not only help us to succeed in this class, but to motivate us to never back down when we reach complicated situations in the future. I will never forget that fear corrupts!"

"Well, Omar was hands down the best TA I've ever had. He was so excited to be helping us all and would go out of his way to help you if you didn't understand something. I wish all TA's could be like him because this was a class most people hated and I ended up enjoying it. Omar always reminded us to never give up and that fear corrupts. I will never forget that."

"[Omar] was the best TA I've ever had. I really enjoyed the lectures that he gave during lab if there was extra time. They were extremely helpful in understanding some of the mored difficult subject matter."

"Omar was a fantastic TA that really provided us with the means to do really well in this class. He is one of the most dedicated TA's that I have ever had here at OSU. His teaching style was perfect for this challenging course and he went above and beyond what was expected to him every week to ensure that we did well. Honestly, his inspirational speeches, emails, videos were really encouraging to have when Ochem kept bringing all of us down. It was really refreshing to see someone care so much about teaching us rather than shuffle us out in the least amount of time."

"Omar is the most encouraging instructors I've had. He has very high standards for all of us. He would answer any question. Lab with him was fun."

"Omar is the best TA I have ever had in my last three semesters, he wasn't only a great TA but also a teacher who cares for his students and try to let them feel good and motivated. He is a very great TA."

"[Omar was] one of the best TA's I have ever had. Went above and beyond to ensure the success of his students. Very kind person and very easy to approach not only with problems with the course material but of any life issue."

"I like how Omar sends out weekly e-mails and wrote on the board with the current week and next week's expectations. He is very open to answering any questions and wants to see his students succeed (very evident with his pep talks). Omar has been one of the best TA's I have had at OSU."

"One of the best TA's. Omar was always willing to answer any questions students had and genuinely wanted the students to succeed."

"It was very insightful to learn that impact and authenticity are valued over titles and prestige. I appreciated the panel’s perspectives into the inner-workings of the selections process and walked away with a better understanding of how to best poirtray myself on my application."

"The Pre-Med Academy’s [Med School Admissions] panel was incredibly clarifying and reassuring. It was refreshing to learn that genuine motivation and lived experiences matter more than résume labels or institutional prestige. I especailly valued the transparent breakdown of the admissions process and left with concrete guidance on how to present my story thoguhtfully and authentically in my medical school application."

“In many homes, parents grapple with whether to send their kids to public or private school. It’s a difficult discussion that involves questions around the quality of education in the local public school system, family financial priorities, and surely other, more personal considerations.

Fortunately, with our program, you don’t need to have this public vs. private debate. For hopeful medical students, our program is a bolt-on to traditional public or private schooling.

For public school students, you will get the individual attention that you would have received in private school but truly and rigorously focused on the field that you are aspiring to enter. For private school students, you get the same attention, but our program will surely give you a leg-up on your classmates that have similar aspirations.

Our program will help you successfully find your way to medical school and to a fulfilling career as a physician.”
