I completed one year at Farmingdale State University were I majored in liberal arts and sciences. I was then accepted into the CUNY School of Medicine were I majored in biomedical sciences and minored in psychology. There, I took and passed step 1 after taking the "PASS program".

We can begin with an NBME to determine what your strengths and weaknesses are and then come up for a study plan that is best for you in achieving your academic goals. I've worked with many other tutors before who have implemented similar methods and they have worked for me in the past.
I can offer my experiences and expertise in test-taking to help you to achieve your goals in studying for the USMLEs. I also have teaching experience. I worked with a non-profit organization called "Mentoring in Medicine" were I had the privilege of being a instructor of 4th grade students interested in learning more about the sciences. There, I've demonstrated leadership, collaborative, and organizational skills and we worked with high-energy elementary students.
