About Kristy


Bio

Hello! I'm Kristy and I am currently a third-year medical student. Prior to medical school, I earned a Bachelor's Degree in Cellular & Developmental Biology, graduating with summa cum laude and University Honors.

I have strengths in MCAT tutoring, helping students go from a 50% score to 80-90% WITHOUT focusing on content, and just from helping them sharpen pure test-taking skills alone. If you want to increase your score within 4-6 weeks and DON'T want to cram information to get you to a...

Hello! I'm Kristy and I am currently a third-year medical student. Prior to medical school, I earned a Bachelor's Degree in Cellular & Developmental Biology, graduating with summa cum laude and University Honors.

I have strengths in MCAT tutoring, helping students go from a 50% score to 80-90% WITHOUT focusing on content, and just from helping them sharpen pure test-taking skills alone. If you want to increase your score within 4-6 weeks and DON'T want to cram information to get you to a 510+, book an appointment with me. I promise I have a non-traditional approach that is a LOT less overwhelming compared to other traditional MCAT tutors. My MCAT tutoring approach involves helping you build skill through my eye for MCAT detail, so that you can see it too. Spans about 4-5 sessions to get the ball rolling.

I have also worked at the USDA, facilitated group supplemental instruction sessions in Biology, served as a freelance writing consultant for individuals, and cumulatively earned over $40,000 scholarships for my free response writing and extra-curricular experiences. Though I have a heavy background in the sciences, I also have strengths in helping people create, organize, and write with authenticity- whether it be for medical school personal statements or scholarship essays.

Book a meeting with me for MCAT help, and continue with me for medical school application help! I can provide honest, constructive feedback for your personal statements and secondary statements that will help you write with flow and originality.

Career Development

Career Development

I have served as a medical student panelist, and was previously employed as a facilitator for workshops centered on skill-building for community college students. I have also been on interview panels and scholarship selection committees during college for an academic scholarship program.
Epidemiology

Epidemiology

I took and received an A in Immunology during my undergraduate career. I have also learned Immunology again (received over a 90% on the exam) as well as the basics of Epidemiology/stats throughout medical school.
MCAT

MCAT

I have scored above the 90th percentile on all sections of the MCAT, between practice and real AAMC exams. I self-studied for this test, and my strengths were in navigating the CHEM/PHYS and PSYC/SOCI sections. My objective in tutoring you for the MCAT would be to help you learn the different skills needed to navigate each of the different sections. I have learned from my own experience that the MCAT is not a test of pure content. Studying harder from books is where pre-meds go wrong and remain unable to break past the 510 threshold. I am here to help speak from my experience and things I've learned on how to navigate the MCAT, and improve your score strategically without studying content 8 hours a day.
USMLE

USMLE

I successfully achieved a first-time pass on the USMLE STEP 1 in July 2024. By the time I approached my exam date, I was able to score consistently above 85% on multiple NBME practice exams. On the real exam, I completed all sections with extra time to review my flagged questions, as well as finished one particular section in HALF of the time allotted, allowing me to redo every question in that section with the remaining time.
