I am a 29-year-old PGY-3! I am in Neurodevelopmental Disabilities Residency at Riley Children's and will be certified in Pediatrics, Child Neurology and Developmental Disabilities. I have been a tutor for over 15 years, since I began working as a National Honor Society tutor in High School. I have worked with children for my entire life and have experience working with learners from Elementary School through Medical School, with extensive experience with learners with learning disabilities. I have expertise in helping medical students and pre medical students balance their times and reframe their thinking to improve clinical reasoning. I earned Honors grades in all clinical rotations.
I have extensive experience with standardized tests. I earned a 255 on the USMLE Step 2 placing me above the 70th percentile. I scored above average on all shelf exams, some above 90th percentile. On the MCAT I scored 94th percentile. I have great success providing students support for these examinations. I love teaching students who are receptive and passionate, working with professional and pre-professional students is extremely fulfilling.
My teaching experience, experience with youth and success on standardized tests at all levels makes me a qualified tutor. Each student learns differently but everyone has a limitless capacity to learn. Tell me how you learn and your goals and I will personalize sessions. I love working with younger students and leveraging my extensive experience as a student to get them interested in learning. I have helped over 100 different students, ages 5+, including high achieving students and students with learning challenges. I love the moment when I see on a student's face that what we have been working on suddenly "clicked".
I love to take my 2 rescue dogs Clare and Kerry for runs, my 2 dogs are my number one passion in life. I have competed in marathons in 3 different countries. I have been to over 20 countries! My favorite thing to do abroad is find good local music

Extremely Supportive & Detail-Oriented Step 2 Tutor!

Kaitlyn is incredibly supportive and detail-oriented. She help me identify the areas I struggled with and showed me how even small pieces of information could be valuable in working through difficult questions. She broke down concepts clearly, pointed out misconceptions, and filled in knowledge gaps while encouraging me to make clinical connections and apply principles across scenarios/systems. Her explanations were thorough yet easy to follow. She always personalized our sessions, pacing them to my needs without ever rushing. She also helped reinfoce effective study techniques, regularly checked in on my progress, and was genuinely invested in both my performance and how I felt about my preparation. Beyond her teaching, she was a great communicator, easy to work with, and always accessible. Her guidance not only strengthened my understanding but also gave me confidence in approaching Step 2 preparation.
