STEM fanatic and new MD ready to help students succeed

Lucy W.

I have just completed my medical degree at Chicago Medical School and have a strong academic foundation and several years of experience teaching and mentoring students at the undergraduate and professional levels. Throughout my training, I have completed advanced coursework in the sciences, including biology, chemistry, anatomy, physiology, and clinical medicine. My background in both medical education and graduate-level study has equipped me with versatile approaches to understanding complex material and the ability to break it down clearly for learners at different stages.

My tutoring experience includes one-on-one academic support, structured small-group teaching, and formal peer instruction. I have worked with students ranging from high-school learners preparing for college-level science courses to medical students preparing for medical board examinations. My teaching approach focuses on meeting students where they are, identifying conceptual gaps, and building confidence through repetition, active recall, and practical examples. Whether I am helping a student understand foundational biology or guiding someone through advanced clinical reasoning, my goal is always to create a supportive space that makes challenging material approachable.

Over the years, I have become especially skilled at tailoring lessons to individual learning styles and helping students develop effective study strategies. My experience working in clinical and academic settings has strengthened my communication skills and allowed me to mentor students in both content mastery and long-term academic planning. I take pride in seeing students grow more confident and independent, and I am committed to helping learners reach their goals with clarity, patience, and enthusiasm.
