Stanford BA | UCSD MD Student | 100+ Mentees | Expert MCAT Tutor
Temiloluwa (Temi) Adeyemo is a medical student, educator, and mentor, born and raised in Ibadan, Nigeria with a passion for mental health advocacy and medical education. He is currently pursuing his MD at the University of California, San Diego, as a Vice Chancellor’s Scholar for Inclusive Excellence in Medicine. His journey in medicine has been shaped by a deep commitment to underserved communities and a desire to bridge gaps in healthcare access and education. Temi’s academic journey began at 14 when he immigrated to Omaha, Nebraska, to attend Mount Michael Benedictine School, an all-boys Catholic boarding school. As a child, he had long dreamed of America, enchanted by the images he saw on television, but the reality of his journey was filled with challenges. He initially struggled with homesickness and cultural adjustment, but he found solace in his international peers and his growing passion for education. His perseverance led him to excel academically, and he discovered his love for teaching while working as a K-12 tutor at Mathnasium, where he helped students grasp difficult mathematical concepts and build confidence in their abilities. He later continued his education at Stanford University, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts in Human Biology, concentrating on Global Child and Adolescent Mental Health. As an undergraduate, he was awarded prestigious scholarships, including The Gates Scholarship and The Thrive Scholarship, recognizing his academic excellence and leadership. His research contributions span multiple fields, from mental health intervention development to racial disparities in the justice system. He was one of only ten scholars selected for the Columbia University Global Mental Health Research Fellowship, where he worked on pioneering studies to support Black women survivors of intimate partner violence. Beyond research, Temi is deeply invested in education and mentorship. With seven years of tutoring experience, he has helped hundreds of students improve their MCAT scores, often by 5–15 points, leading many to admissions at top medical schools, including Harvard, Columbia, and UNC-Chapel Hill. His approach combines data-driven strategies with active listening and emotional processing, particularly for students with learning and attention difficulties. Temi’s dedication to service extends beyond academics. He is also an accomplished poet, using his writing to explore themes of identity, resilience, and social justice. His poetry has served as a creative outlet and a means to connect with others, shedding light on the lived experiences of marginalized communities. As a Nigerian immigrant, he is passionate about addressing healthcare disparities in marginalized populations. His work with the Asido Foundation in Nigeria involved mental health advocacy, curriculum development, and community outreach. He also co-founded a mental healthcare space for African students at Stanford, ensuring ongoing support for their unique challenges. Outside of medicine and mentorship, Temi is an avid football (soccer) enthusiast. The sport has been a constant source of joy and community throughout his life, providing him with an avenue for connection during his early years in the United States. Whether playing on the field or watching matches with friends, football remains an integral part of his identity. He finds joy and camaraderie in the sport, which has been a lifelong passion and a way to stay connected to his roots. Temi’s strengths as a mentor and educator lie in his ability to inspire confidence, break down complex concepts, and tailor strategies to each student’s strengths. He believes in fostering agency and executive functioning skills, ensuring his students are prepared not only for exams but for lifelong success. Whether through research, mentorship, or advocacy, Temi remains committed to empowering future healthcare professionals and improving mental health outcomes in underserved communities. He is excited to continue guiding students toward achieving their goals and making a meaningful impact in medicine.
