Bio

If you are weeks out of your exam and need serious help boosting your Step 1 score, I'm here to help. I specialize in helping students make rapid progress on their NBMEs leading to a pass on exam day. I've developed a systematic method for preparing for the USMLE Step 1 exam that has helped all of my students (20+) pass. My method includes personalized memory tools, identifying errors in clinical reasoning, and building confidence through spaced repetition.

If you are weeks out of your exam and need serious help boosting your Step 1 score, I'm here to help. I specialize in helping students make rapid progress on their NBMEs leading to a pass on exam day. I've developed a systematic method for preparing for the USMLE Step 1 exam that has helped all of my students (20+) pass. My method includes personalized memory tools, identifying errors in clinical reasoning, and building confidence through spaced repetition.

Students who work with me experience gradual progress on their practice exams (10-15% increase over 2-3 weeks) and quickly gain confidence in their knowledge and test-taking skills. I work intensively with students on a daily basis for 2-3 hours a day in the weeks leading up to their exam. The amount of tutoring required to achieve a pass on Step 1 depends upon the student's timeline and their NBME scores. I only take on 2-3 students at a time given the intensity of my Step 1 program.

Approved Subjects

Anatomy

Anatomy

I am a 4th year medical student with extensive anatomy, physiology, pathology knowledge through school, board exams, and research. I have found various tools helpful for my students and understand each person learns differently. I want to make anatomy more simple for my students so they can apply this knowledge to exam questions and in practice in their future careers!
Biology

Biology

Throughout medical school and undergraduate courses I have covered every topic in Biology thoroughly. I have been tutoring in Biology for over 6 years to multiple students. I emphasize understanding concepts thoroughly by breaking them down, and developing creative memory tools to solidify material.
Interview Prep

Interview Prep

I have helped numerous undergrad students get into medical school and medical students get into residency through application assistance and interview coaching. My approach emphasizes having questions and responses ready to go so my students walk into interview day calm and confident. I also enjoy helping my students assess which program best fits their needs after interviews are complete.
Pharmacology

Pharmacology

Throughout my medical training, I have learned about all categories of drugs. I have learned drug mechanism, metabolism, indications, and contraindications for my board exams. Through my learning, I have gathered several useful resources for learning and I have created great tools to better solidify pharmacology into memory!
Physiology

Physiology

I have extensive knowledge in anatomy, physiology, and pathology through my medical school training in a range of subjects (psychiatry, neuroscience, cardiology, pulmonology, heme-nonc etc.) I enjoy helping students learn these subjects and making them more fun to learn through breaking it down to simple terms, and creating fun memory tools and organization that well fits to how they learn.
Psychology

Psychology

I graduated medical school and will be moving on to psychiatry residency the following year. My graduate medical education, as well as my major in Human Communication Sciences and Disorders have thoroughly covered psychology and related topics, which I enjoy teaching to my students. Through many years of school and tutoring, I have found multiple ways of simplifying material to make it more understandable and engaging for myself, and my students. I believe this builds a strong foundation and knowledge, and makes learning something to look forwards to, rather than avoid.
Study Skills

Study Skills

I have over 10 years experience providing executive function coaching services to students. All students are capable of success, they just need to find the best way to study for how their brain functions and they truly excel. I discuss goals with my students and teach them strategies to accomplish those goals and the tasks that accompany them. I add creativity when it comes to memorizing the material to optimize retention and make learning more engaging.
USMLE

USMLE

I'm a Northwestern MD graduate that has helped 15+ people successfully pass the USMLE Step exam, including those who have struggled with practice exams or the actual exam. My method emphasizes NBME practice exams and proven memory techniques that help students quickly absorb and retain the massive amount of information required on this exam. Through our work together, students build their foundational knowledge, understand high-yield topics more thoroughly, and develop creative memory tools to solidify material. Using this method, students experience gradual progress in their NBME exam scores and increased confidence in material that will be tested on the exam. I believe everyone has the potential to pass this exam—they just need to find the study approach that works best for them.

Nina’s an expert!

Nina transformed my way of tackling STEP 1 and NBME-style questions. After having my first lesson with her, my NBME scores saw an immediate increase. I went from receiving failing scores to a pass, and it’s thanks to Nina’s expert advice and gentle guidance.
