Hello, please call me Sig!
I earned my Doctorate in Pharmacy degree (PharmD) Cum Laude with a 3.62 GPA. Pharmacy school is a demanding four-year program, and study sessions with classmates were essential for success. I had a knack for understanding complex pharmacology concepts and enjoyed breaking them down into smaller, digestible pieces for my fellow students. What started as helping a friend or two eventually turned into offering free tutoring and group sessions to anyone struggling, covering pharmacology, PK/PD, biochemistry, the top 200 drugs, and drug calculations. That experience shaped how I teach today, using interactive lessons where the student becomes the teacher. I've since applied that knowledge through clinical rotations at multiple hospitals, compounding medications and working through drug calculations, as well as counseling patients and practicing the top 200 drugs in a retail pharmacy setting, sharpening my expertise with a practical, hands-on experience.
When I tutor, every session starts with active recall and a short review of prior material, so nothing gets forgotten between meetings. I pay close attention to where the student is struggling so we can focus our time where it matters most. I build custom practice questions and worksheets for each student, and we often flip the script by writing our own quiz questions and testing each other, one of the fastest ways to expose gaps in understanding. I also introduce study strategies beyond our sessions, like the Pomodoro Technique to keep self-study focused and balanced, and building a study plan together to prepare proactively for the next big exam. I come prepared with a lesson plan each week, but stay flexible enough to pivot when extra support is needed.
What matters most to me is watching a student go from confused to confident. I check messages throughout the day and can often accommodate last-minute requests, and I operate on a 24-hour cancellation policy. Feel free to reach out with any questions.
