I am a fourth-year medical student at the University of Arizona College of Medicine–Phoenix with a strong academic background in biology, physiology, chemistry, and medical sciences. I earned a 264 on USMLE Step 2 CK and have extensive experience in academic writing, research, and clinical education. I have been tutoring and teaching for several years in multiple settings, including one-on-one tutoring, small-group sessions, and structured teaching roles. I previously worked as an MCAT Biology instructor for The Princeton Review, where I taught undergraduate students using evidence-based teaching strategies focused on clarity, active learning, and spaced repetition. In medical school, I have served as a peer tutor for preclinical coursework, a mentor at an FQHC where I help first- and second-year students develop clinical reasoning, and an admissions interviewer who helps applicants strengthen their personal narratives. I have worked with students ranging from high school and college to graduate/professional school applicants. My tutoring approach emphasizes breaking down complex concepts into simple, understandable pieces, identifying knowledge gaps, and helping students build confidence through guided practice. I tailor my methods to each learner’s goals and level, ensuring sessions are supportive, efficient, and grounded in strong study techniques.

Approved Subjects

Biochemistry

Biochemistry

I am a fourth-year medical student with a strong foundation in biochemistry through pre-medical coursework, MCAT instruction, and medical school training. I previously taught MCAT Biology/Biochemistry for The Princeton Review, where I explained complex pathways using clear, step-by-step methods. In medical school, I have applied biochemistry concepts daily in physiology, pathology, and clinical reasoning. I help students break down difficult topics like metabolism, protein structure, enzymes, and molecular pathways into understandable, high-yield concepts.
Biology

Biology

I have several years of experience tutoring biology at the high school, college, and MCAT levels. As a fourth-year medical student, I have a deep understanding of cellular biology, genetics, physiology, and human systems, and I’ve taught these subjects both formally and informally. My previous role as an MCAT instructor strengthened my ability to simplify complex concepts and identify where students struggle. I tailor my explanations to each student’s needs and aim to build both understanding and confidence.
Essay Writing

Essay Writing

As a medical student with years of academic writing and research experience, I have developed strong skills in editing essays for clarity, flow, and impact. I’ve helped students at the high school, college, and graduate level strengthen personal statements, academic papers, and application essays. My approach is supportive and detail-oriented, focusing on improving structure while preserving the student’s voice. I enjoy helping writers communicate their ideas clearly and confidently.
Microbiology

Microbiology

As a fourth-year medical student, I have extensive training in microbiology through medical coursework, clinical rotations, and exam preparation. I am experienced in explaining microbial physiology, immunology, infectious diseases, and mechanisms of pathogenesis in a clear, structured way. I’ve worked with students at multiple levels and enjoy helping them master high-yield organisms, clinical applications, and lab concepts. My teaching style focuses on pattern recognition, real-world examples, and simplifying complex material.
USMLE

USMLE

I am a fourth year medical student who self studied for both USMLE Step 1 and Step 2. I passed Step 1 first try, and got a 264 on Step 2. I am a biology tutor of over 2 years.
Writing

Writing

I am a fourth-year medical student with a strong background in writing, research, and essay editing. I’ve worked with many students on personal statements, college essays, and application materials, helping them improve clarity, organization, and storytelling. I have worked with my school’s Admissions Committee, giving me firsthand insight into what makes an essay stand out. I aim to make the writing process less stressful and help students express their ideas effectively.
