Hi, I’m Cynthia, and I’m excited to help you reach your academic goals. I am a current fourth-year medical student, and I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Neurobiology. I earned an MCAT score above the 90th percentile and went on to complete my MD. Along the way, I passed USMLE Step 1 and scored above the 99th percentile on USMLE Step 2 CK. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of the material as well as firsthand insight into what it takes to succeed on high-stakes...
Hi, I’m Cynthia, and I’m excited to help you reach your academic goals. I am a current fourth-year medical student, and I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Neurobiology. I earned an MCAT score above the 90th percentile and went on to complete my MD. Along the way, I passed USMLE Step 1 and scored above the 99th percentile on USMLE Step 2 CK. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of the material as well as firsthand insight into what it takes to succeed on high-stakes exams.
My tutoring approach focuses on building understanding rather than memorization. I work with students to break down complex concepts into manageable pieces, identify patterns, and connect foundational science to clinical or test-relevant applications. Whether you are preparing for the MCAT, USMLE exams, or undergraduate science coursework, I tailor each session to your learning style, strengths, and areas of difficulty. I emphasize active problem-solving, strategic test-taking skills, and confidence building so students can approach exams with clarity rather than anxiety.
Having navigated demanding academic paths myself, I understand how overwhelming these exams can feel. My goal as a tutor is not only to help you master the content, but also to support you in developing efficient study strategies and a sustainable mindset. I strive to create a supportive, encouraging learning environment where questions are welcomed and progress feels achievable. I look forward to working with you and helping you reach your full potential.
