Hello everyone!
My name is Usama Anwar, and I am a graduate of King Edward Medical University, Class of 2022, one of the most prestigious medical institutions in the subcontinent. I am currently working as a Radiology Resident at Trinity Health Mid-Atlantic. Previously, I had the privilege of working as a Research Fellow at Harvard Medical School, where I learned from incredible mentors and gained valuable experience in academic medicine, clinical research, and medical education.
I know how overwhelming medical school and exam preparation can feel. Anatomy, neuroanatomy, physiology, and USMLE concepts can seem difficult at first, but with the right guidance, they become much easier, more logical, and even enjoyable. That is exactly what I try to do in my classes.
My goal is to create a friendly, comfortable, and interactive learning environment where students can ask questions freely, build confidence, and truly understand concepts instead of just memorizing them. I try to teach the way I wish I had been taught: with simple explanations, clear illustrations, clinical correlations, and step-by-step guidance.
Just leave a message and I will share my illustrations FOR FREE.

I have had the pleasure of teaching and mentoring students from the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Jordan, India, and many other countries. Working with students from different backgrounds has helped me understand how to adapt my teaching style according to each student’s needs, learning pace, and exam goals.
For me, teaching is not just about delivering lectures. It is about mentorship, encouragement, and helping students believe that they can do well. Whether you are struggling with the basics, preparing for medical school exams, aiming for a high USMLE score, or looking for guidance in research, I would be happy to help you through the process.
My ultimate goal is to help students become more confident, more efficient, and better prepared for their medical journey. I want every student to feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and improving step by step.
Looking forward to meeting you in class soon. Best of luck with your medical journey!

I'm from Dukhan, an MS3 at UOT. I started classes with him when i was an MS2. I actually completed my sessions with Dr. Usama a few months back. He asked me to put an honest review for him. So here it goes.
Dr. Usama is a very knowledgeable person and an excellent illustrator. Honestly, the internet was an issue a couple of times but he got it resolved and it was worth the effort he puts in when he is taking a lecture. Taking no credit away from him. He helped me with Anatomy and Physiology. I got an 89 in anatomy and a 94 in Physiology. All thanks to me. JK :D Thanks to him for his dedication to putting up with me.

Hello,
I am a second-year student at UCLA. I hated neuroanatomy. It is so annoying; all the tracts and the ganglia frustrated me. Dr. Anwar has been kind enough to help and guide me through it. His method is innovative and different. He understands his students before going into detail and I believe that is the main reason this worked for me. Thank you.

Embryo Expert
To all the parents out there, I get what you must go through while looking for a tutor for your kids. My son, Ali, from the University of Texas, wasn't doing good in embryology. Somebody referred me here and I contacted Usama, who by any means is way ahead of any other tutors my son has tried before. He is polite, respectful and most importantly, an honest lad. Do give him a try. He's extremely competent.

I needed to prepare for NEUROANATOMY assesment in 3 weeks
I am a 2nd-year MBBS student from the University of California. They have a shit teaching system and mostly depend on self-teaching. I had a neuroanatomy assesment in 3 weeks and I knew nothing apart from a few basics. A friend suggested me this tutor and I made the best decision for myself. Dr Usama made illustrations and diagrams and made conceptual images which helped me ace my exam in 3 weeks. I am still taking classes from him about my embryology as it is week alsoo hehe :P But yes, he has an equally strong grip on this subject too.
Highly recommended.

Best Physiology and Anatomy tutor.
I'm from India and studying in Medical School in the US. I was the worst in physio and anatomy. Couldn't grasp anything. I started trying different teachers online and in-person but when I tried a demo class from Doctor Usama, I knew that he was the teacher I needed. With a firm grasp of the minute principles of physiology, he helped me with my weak areas and I passed all my tests.
Highly Recommended.
