How can I help you?

By providing compassionate, personalized,
results-driven academic support

Tutoring

My approach to tutoring is to create custom plans to help you succeed. I have significant experience assisting students where behavior, chronic illness, and learning disabilities present obstacles to achieving academic success. I am a team player. I work with other tutors, guidance counselors, teachers,/professors,/preceptors to develop a comprehensive plan to help you succeed. In today’s fast-paced world, where being able to learn new skills quickly is essential. My goal is to teach my students how to learn on their own.

With my degrees in government, biochemistry, and medicine, I am comfortable tutoring all premedical coursework in college and all medical school classes.

For medical students, I offer tutoring in all introductory science coursework. I specialize in helping medical students who have failed courses, clinical rotations, Step 1, Step 2, Step 3, medical students who did not match, and residents terminated from their residency programs.

Advising

Creating a personal narrative is the key to admissions success. During my time as both a student and resident physician, I have helped numerous students overcome obstacles. I specialize in assisting students in resurrecting academic careers at the college and graduating school levels. My knowledge of the admissions process comes from my journey through academia and my time working in medical school admissions as a medical student, building a sizeable premedical advising organization, and assisting Family Medicine Programs with their admissions process.

I have experience developing 4-year plans and creating narratives during admissions processes to highlight your skills and tell admissions committees your unique story. Personal statement writing can be challenging, and using my narrative-based approach, I help you tell your story so that the majority of readers view your essay in a positive light.

I have specialized experience assisting students with less than stellar academic records to succeed and follow their dreams.

Mentoring/Coaching

Mentoring is at the heart of what I do. Mentoring services are provided holistically. I can help navigate complex academic situations when there is no exact person to help. I have specialized experience helping premedical and medical students turn around their academic careers.
Through mentoring/coaching, I work with the student to identify the root cause of academic difficulties and use a holistic team-based approach to help students achieve academic success.
