I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania (GPA 3.93, Neuroscience/Chemistry) and am currently a 4th-year medical student at a Northeast MD school. Over the last two years, I have had the pleasure of guiding dozens of prospective medical students through the application process. My students have gained acceptances and interviewed at medical schools across the country, including top-tier institutions—regardless of GPA, MCAT score, college attended, etc. I support students with personal statements, AMCAS activities, and secondaries. Most require between 1-4 hours to put together solid versions of those essays.

Essays can truly help set you apart, so I provide support at every step of the process, from brainstorming to proofreading to other strategic guidance. I refine word choice, enhance professionalism, and provide edits that make your essay more compelling and impactful. I guarantee feedback within 24 hours. If you are still brainstorming what to write about, I am happy to set up a meeting. I am very quick to respond, and always try to fit my teaching style to your learning needs.

I also offer tutoring for USMLE and CBSE, particularly targeting high-yield topics and NBME favorites. I scored a 263 on Step 2 myself and passed Step 1 on my first attempt. I will work with you to create a robust study schedule that you can follow to achieve your goals. Notably, I have recently helped a student score a 278 on Step 2.

A Game-Changer for Med School Applicants

I cannot recommend Sonia highly enough. She played a pivotal role in helping me craft a cohesive, compelling narrative for both my primary and secondary medical school applications. Her feedback was thoughtful, strategic, and always actionable—never just surface-level edits. Beyond writing support, she helped me think critically about my overall application strategy, ensuring my strengths were highlighted effectively. She's responsive, encouraging without sugarcoating, and genuinely invested in her students’ success. Working with her made a stressful process feel more manageable, and my application is undeniably stronger because of it.

Knowledgeable and Supportive Tutor

Sonia was a knowledgeable and supportive tutor. She took the time to understand my goals and offered targeted guidance to help me get the most out of my prep for COMLEX Level 2. We focused on working through practice questions together to hit my weak spots. She would help me understand why the wrong answers were wrong and help fill the knowledge gaps I was facing. Sonia helped me build both my skills and my confidence, and I saw real progress in my practice test scores. I’m very grateful for her help and highly recommend her for COMLEX or USMLE preparation.

Thorough, Thoughtful, and Personable!

Sonia was vital in helping me craft an effective, cohesive personal statement for my medical school application. She was meticulous in her evaluation of my initial draft, taking time independent of our meeting to critically evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of my paper. She constructed a detailed summary offering suggested improvements that was critical in advancing my paper. She was accommodating and approachable when considering my individual story and motives for medicine, strengthening my narrative. I highly recommend Sonia!

Excellent and professional

Sonia is an excellent tutor. I contacted her shortly before my graduate school application deadline, and she was able to assist me within a short time period proofreading my essay. Her responses were not only prompt but also well thought out and contextually appropriate. I accepted many of her edits as they clearly improved my paper. Some of them I simply loved because they brought the reader deeper into the matter. Additionally, I appreciated her professional approach to communication and billing. Sonia is undoubtedly experienced in writing and tutoring.

Sonia makes reviews very approachable and comfortable. The comfort and humbling aspect of learning medicine can be challenging, and Sonia's natural ability to help me think through content has helped me cement information. I appreciate her and plan on sticking with her through my studies.

Knowledgeble, patient and well prepared

We scheduled a session with Sonia to understand Healthcare careers options. Sonia was well prepared and answered all my students questions. She explained the process very patiently and even shared a list of colleges which met our criteria. My student loved the session! We would continue to work with her in the future as well.
