Bio

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.

ACT English

ACT English

I have tutored in English and reading comprehension in the past. I scored in the 99th percentile in English on my own ACT with self-study methods. As a native English speaker and avid reader, I can help with both grammar and comprehension. Additionally, I have successfully scored above the 90th percentile on the ACT, MCAT, and USMLE STEP 2 exams.
ESL/ESOL

ESL/ESOL

I have tutored previously in English and reading comprehension. I have scored highly in English sections of standardized tests, and I have published scientific research in English.
MCAT

MCAT

I am a current USMD student who took the MCAT in 2021. By learning test-taking strategies and completing a strategic, systematic review of content, I was able to improve my score from the 50th percentile to the 90th percentile. I would be happy to discuss study strategies, test-taking tips, an achievable study plan, or content.
Neuroscience

Neuroscience

I completed a Bachelor's degree in Neurobiology with honors in the liberal arts in 2020. I am in my final year of medical school and received honors in my neurology shelf exam. I have several research papers published in the field of neuroscience and have presented at multiple national and international neuroscience conferences. I will be starting neurology residency in 2026.
USMLE

USMLE

I am a US MD student in my final year of medical school, and I completed the USMLE Step 1 with a pass on the first attempt and the USMLE Step 2 with a score of 270. I have completed all of my core rotations, and I am looking forward to helping you succeed in your educational goals.
