Former Teacher and 4th Year Medical Student

Tobias W.

As a fourth-year medical student at New York Medical College with a strong academic foundation in biological sciences from Florida State University, I bring both deep subject matter expertise and proven teaching experience to tutoring. My educational journey includes excelling in my medical school coursework, scoring in the ~85th percentile on my licensing exams. MY comprehensive medical training has strengthened my understanding of complex scientific concepts while developing my ability to break down difficult material into digestible components.

My teaching experience spans multiple educational contexts and age groups, providing me with versatile skills. As an Anatomy Lab Teaching Assistant at New York Medical College for three years, I have tutored medical students in anatomy and physiology, helping them master complex concepts and prepare for high-stakes examinations. I developed effective learning strategies in collaboration with faculty and assisted in creating course materials including lab exercises and assessments. Additionally, my experience as a 6th Grade Lead Science Teacher at Success Academy in Harlem allowed me to work with younger students, where I planned engaging lessons to optimize learning in the sciences while mentoring students in academic goal-setting and future planning.

My tutoring approach emphasizes building conceptual understanding rather than memorization, drawing from students experience in real-world contexts that makes learning meaningful and relatable. Whether working one-on-one with struggling students or leading group sessions, I adapt my teaching methods to match individual learning styles and pace.

I am passionate about helping students not just achieve their immediate academic goals, but develop the critical thinking skills and confidence they need for long-term success
