Your BIO 151 instructor

Clear explanations from someone who knows the material.

Marwan teaches difficult biology by breaking it into clear, connected ideas rather than giving students another lecture to memorize. His academic record and medical training support the teaching, not the other way around.

Teaching background

Clear explanations, serious academics.

Marwan graduated from Alexandria University Faculty of Medicine and is currently completing his medical internship. His teaching experience includes medical students at Egyptian universities and The University of Manchester's program in Egypt.

His long term goal is spine surgery. In Dr Z Academy, his job is simpler: teach the course clearly, keep students current, and make difficult biology easier to understand.

Enrollment policies

Questions before you enroll.

Fall 2026 enrollment terms

Final terms before payment opens

Final Fall 2026 enrollment terms, including refund and cancellation details, will be published before paid enrollment opens.

  • The first session is complimentary; no payment is required to attend it.
  • The monthly option is a four-payment semester plan, not a cancel-anytime subscription.
  • If Dr Z Academy cancels a class, a make-up session or equivalent recording will be provided.
Questions
Do I pay before the first session?

No. The first session is complimentary so you can see how the class is taught before deciding whether to continue.

Does monthly payment change what I receive?

No. Both payment options include the same semester access. The difference is only the payment schedule.

What if I miss a class?

Recorded sessions are included so enrolled students can catch up and revisit material.

Will the course follow my professor’s exact order?

The class follows the MCPHS course content, but professors may sequence topics differently. We adjust the schedule once the Fall 2026 syllabus and exam calendar are available.

How do I join?
