About Benjamin

Bio

I am a PGY1 Internal Medicine resident with a strong academic foundation and a passion for teaching others. I scored 70th percentile on USMLE Step 2 CK and 70th+ percentile on COMLEX Level 2. I have been tutoring Step/Level 1 and 2 content since passing each of my board exams. I have also spent 7 years teaching anatomy, physiology and various biology courses (biochem, microbio, cell bio, nutritional biology) at an undergraduate and graduate level.

I am a PGY1 Internal Medicine resident with a strong academic foundation and a passion for teaching others. I scored 70th percentile on USMLE Step 2 CK and 70th+ percentile on COMLEX Level 2. I have been tutoring Step/Level 1 and 2 content since passing each of my board exams. I have also spent 7 years teaching anatomy, physiology and various biology courses (biochem, microbio, cell bio, nutritional biology) at an undergraduate and graduate level.

I have helped many students prepare for Step1/2, Level 1/2, and Shelf exams by creating content-specific study guides, study timelines, and resource strategies. I am very familiar with all major learning tools—including AMBOSS, UWorld, TrueLearn, NBME practice exams, and COMSAEs—and I help students understand not only what to use but when and how to use each resource efficiently.

My tutoring style is highly individualized; however, it revolves around one approach - understanding not memorization. I spend lots of time identifying students’ strengths, weaknesses, and learning preferences, then tailor an approach to improve weak areas. Whether a student is aiming for a high score or working to pass a challenging exam, I focus on developing a strong foundation in physiology and clinical reasoning, test-taking strategy, and question-based learning.

No matter where you’re starting from, I’ll meet you there.

Approved Subjects

Anatomy

Anatomy

After performing in the top of my class in Anatomy and Physiology, I was contacted to become a discussion leader for the course. I spent my first 2 quarters as a regular learning assistant, before slowly taking on more responsibilities. Overtime, I helped enough students and was given permission to lead my own discussion course for 2 hours a week, along with hosting biweekly office hours. I have undergraduate level anatomy and physiology TA experience for over 4 years and am deeply passionate about this subject. I am confident and happy to each high school, undergraduate, and graduate level physiology and anatomy.
Nutrition

Nutrition

I received my undergraduate degree in Nutritional Biology from UC Davis. As a major focus of my degree, I took nutritional classes emphasizing molecular and cellular utilization of micro and macronutrients and cell biology courses focusing solely on cellular nutrition. While completing my degree, I worked at UC Davis Health as an intern providing diabetic counseling and education to patients who were currently pre-diabetic or diabetic. I have a strong passion for biochemistry, cell signaling, and nutrition. I feel comfortable teaching nutrition to high school, college, and graduate (especially medical students) who need guidance in the field.
Pharmacology

Pharmacology

Senior Medical Student with undergraduate degree in Nutritional/Cellular Biology. Strong educational experiences in pharmacology with extensive clinical experience in hospital and clinical settings combined with multiple years of Anatomy, Physiology and US Medical Licensing exams.

USMLE

USMLE

I am a current fourth-year medical student and Internal Medicine residency applicant with strong academic interviews across the University of California system. I have 2.5 years of experience tutoring medical students for Step 1/2 and Level 1/2, focusing on high-yield content, test-taking strategy, and confidence building. I scored 254+ on Step 2 and 600+ on Level 2, and honored the Internal Medicine, Surgery, and Family Medicine shelf exams. My teaching background includes three years as a systemic physiology TA and course discussion leader at UC Davis and two years as a clinical skills TA, and I enjoy working 1-on-1 with students to prioritize truly understanding information and excelling on the many exams we must take.

Tailored approaches to find the best study style for you

Working with this tutor has been an outstanding experience. From the very beginning, they took the time to understand my goals and tailor each session to help me achieve them. They are incredibly personable, approachable, and easy to work with, which creates a comfortable learning environment where questions are always welcomed. Their depth of knowledge and ability to explain complex concepts clearly is truly impressive. I always leave our sessions feeling more confident, motivated, and prepared. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, supportive, and effective tutor.

Knowledgeable

I’ve had a really great experience with Benjamin. He is very patient, knowledgeable, and explains concepts in a way that actually makes sense. His lessons are always well structured and he takes the time to adapt to my learning style and pace. I’ve gained a lot more confidence for med school and COMLEX. I would highly recommend him!
