Board-Certified PA-C with Proven Teaching Experience

Lisa M.

I am a board-certified Physician Assistant with a strong background in both education and clinical medicine. I earned my undergraduate degree from Duke University and spent three years teaching elementary education, where I developed a deep appreciation for how students learn differently and how important it is to present information in clear, accessible ways. I later completed my Master’s in Physician Assistant Studies, combining my passion for teaching with advanced medical training.

My tutoring style is highly personalized and student-centered. I begin by identifying the areas where students experience the most difficulty, then create a targeted learning plan to strengthen those areas while still reviewing all relevant material thoroughly. If a concept isn’t clicking, I will reframe and present the information in a new way until it makes sense and feels manageable.

When tutoring Anatomy and Genetics, I focus on building strong foundational understanding, clinical relevance, and long-term retention rather than memorization alone. I also provide resources and structured study options students can use outside of tutoring sessions to reinforce learning and maximize progress between meetings.

If you are looking for a knowledgeable, supportive tutor who is invested in your success, I would love to work with you. Book a session today so we can create a personalized plan and start making real progress right away.
