MD with experience in the Humanities & STEM Fields

Andy M.

My name is Andy and I am a current resident physician who is passionate about coaching, mentoring, and academic success. I possess a Medical Degree from the State University of New York as well as a Bachelor's of Science Degree from Santa Clara University with an emphasis in Biomedical Sciences. When not spending time with patients, I find fulfillment in mentoring and tutoring pre-med and medical students who share similar academic challenges and who are looking for support to become a better life-long learning.

My venture into mentorship and academic coaching traces back to my high school years at an academically rigorous institution in NYC. Serving as a peer tutor, I discovered a passion for teaching and assisting others in navigating academic obstacles across all different subjects, including Algebra and Pre-calculus, Biology and Chemistry, Latin and Creative writing to name a few. This experience taught me the value of recognizing diverse approaches to studying, writing, and academics. Effectiveness as a teacher and tutor, I learned, requires adapting one's communication style to the unique needs of each individual.

My commitment to mentorship continued at the university level, where I participated in the honors college as a peer mentor. Here I specialized as a tutor for pre-medical students aspiring to pursue various healthcare fields, including nursing, physician assistant, medical, and veterinary school.

In summary, I am dedicated to helping students discover individually tailored strategies. By facilitating a deep understanding of complex concepts, and breaking them down into simpler sizeable chunks of knowledge my aim is to empower them as inquisitive thinkers, translating to success in their coursework.
