Hello, future doctors! I’m here to guide you through one of the most critical milestones in your medical journey for Step 1 preparation. With a passion for teaching and a proven track record, I am dedicated to making your study process efficient, approachable, and effective. Together, we’ll tackle challenging concepts, sharpen test-taking strategies, and build the confidence you need to succeed. I hold a degree in Biology with a minor in Chemistry and certifications in Advanced and Basic Life Support (ALS/BLS). My clinical rotations have strengthened my ability to connect foundational science with patient care, allowing me to explain complex medical concepts clearly and practically. Excelling in these rotations also helped me integrate basic sciences with clinical relevance, preparing students for Step 1 and beyond.

I began teaching with one-on-one Step 1 tutoring, helping students grasp difficult topics and achieve success. Over the past two years, I’ve expanded to group sessions, working with over 16 students while continuing private tutoring. My methods include mnemonics, custom questions, and practical examples to make high-yield topics memorable. I also share high-yield facts to reinforce learning between sessions and make myself available to address questions, ensuring students feel supported every step of the way.

I tailor my approach to individual learning styles, emphasizing understanding over rote memorization. Using trusted resources like UWorld, AMBOSS, and NBME exams, I equip students with strategies and tools to excel. Passing Step 1 on my first attempt and maintaining a steadily improving GPA reflect my mastery of the material and ability to guide others.

With a strong academic foundation, clinical experience, and dedication to teaching, I aim to foster clarity, confidence, and long-term retention. It would be an honor to help you achieve success on Step 1 and in your medical career.

I am writing to express my interest in becoming a Step 1 tutor with your team. My journey into medicine has been a unique one, marked by a commitment to excellence despite taking a less traditional route. From early academic challenges to ultimately mastering the demanding curriculum of medical school, I have demonstrated resilience, adaptability, and a deep passion for supporting others in their educational journeys. I am confident that these experiences make me an ideal candidate to guide students preparing for Step 1. Early in my academic career, I faced substantial challenges that initially made the path to medical school seem out of reach. Rather than being deterred, these obstacles drove me to improve my study habits and cultivate the discipline required to thrive in a demanding environment. Choosing a non-traditional route into medicine came with its own unique challenges, but it allowed me to prove to myself and others that I could succeed under any circumstances. Overcoming these hurdles has instilled in me a deep sense of empathy for students who may be struggling with similar doubts or obstacles, and I am motivated to help them reach their full potential. Throughout my medical studies, I dedicated myself to mastering the curriculum, ultimately achieving high scores in my exams. I became a go-to resource among my peers for academic support, often tutoring classmates for free. Helping others understand challenging material and seeing their confidence grow was incredibly rewarding and fueled my desire to pursue a formal tutoring role. I am committed to sharing the techniques and insights I’ve developed with students who are preparing for Step 1 and may be looking for a guide who understands the highs and lows of this journey. My success on Step 1, which I passed on my first attempt, was not a matter of luck but of careful, strategic preparation. I utilized a comprehensive range of resources, including AMBOSS, UWorld, and NBME, ensuring I left no gaps in my knowledge. I made it my goal to master these m
