Hi everyone, I am Dr. Kyle. I have over nine years of experience providing 1-on-1 and small group tutoring covering Premedical and Medical information. I have experience not only with teaching, but also working with test anxiety, ADHD, and depression in adult learners. I also focus on teaching and practicing proper test-taking skills. I have passed each component of the USMLE Exam including Step 3 and have experience with tutoring all USMLE Step, NBME, and MCAT exams.
I also have experience creating educational material for medical students, with complete curriculum development for over ten medical school courses and over thirty short presentations on a variety of medical topics. I know from personal experience that there is no "one size fits all" recipe for success with learning or exam performance. As a tutor, I can evaluate your needs, set up and help you implement an individualized study schedule, provide helpful resources to further your studies, and work through any material or questions you may have.
My Medical Doctor degree as well as my previous tutoring and teaching experience also focused heavily on biochemistry, physiology, pathology, and clinical applications of basic science material. I was also the lead instructor for an MCAT review program at Marshall University and was responsible for material review of all science content covered on the MCAT.
My experience with tutoring and instructing at the premedical and medical level has kept me up to date with medical information. As an experienced USMLE/MCAT tutor, I understand that students not only need help understanding the material, but also dealing with obstacles to learning, and remembering the material in fun and creative ways. I aim to provide sessions that focus on what students need, not just on the curriculum requirements.
I am easy to contact and aim to provide responses as quickly as possible. Please feel free to reach out for more information or to schedule lessons!

Tutoring on all organ systems. Course instruction on Thorax, Abdomen, and Pelvis. Instruction included landmarks, organs, blood supply and venous drainage and nerve supply.
Biochemistry

Biochemistry

As a tutor for the PASS Program, I have tutored numerous students who have struggled with biochemistry as it is a topic that contains an immense amount of detail. So much so, that it becomes easy to lose the big picture and the point of biochemistry in the first place. I therefore made it a personal goal to understand this topic and be able to teach it well. I subsequently became lead author for an online USMLE preparation course on the subject.
Biostatistics

Biostatistics

I have tutored medical students studying for the USMLE step exams for over 9 years. I have also created small group handouts and lectures on the topic of biostatistics and assisted with the instruction of a biostatistics course at the medical school level.

I was the lead instructor at and MCAT preparation program at Marshall University for 2 years. The program reviewed all science content and focused on test-taking and study strategies for all MCAT exam sections.

Pharmacology

Pharmacology

I have been a tutor for medical students studying for the USMLE step exams for over 9 years. This experience has made me realize that the basis of Pharmacology is an understanding of physiologic mechanisms and how drugs manipulate those mechanisms. I also understand that Pharmacology requires memorization of numerous drug names and provide novel, fun, and unique methods to accomplish this memorization.
Physiology

As a tutor at the PASS Program for USMLE test prep, I focused heavily on explaining and applying physiologic concepts at the medical level. If you seek a comprehensive review of a subject and unique ways to make the material stick, I am the right tutor for you!

Psychology was a major review component of both the USMLE and MCAT exams. I have over 9 years of experience reviewing and organizing content in this specialty.

Wonderful teacher!

Dr.V is great at breaking down difficult concepts and making them much easier to understand. He is very knowledgeable and gives you strategies to attack a question which you may have no idea what is going on. We also worked through a schedule of what I should attack everyday and he helped me stay on top of it all. He has helped me tremendously with my test taking skills, test anxiety and with applying the material I know to get to the right answer! I highly recommend Dr.V for anyone studying for USMLE Step!

Paddy, 54 lessons with Kyle

Very knowledgable and understanding

Right off the bat, it is very clear that Dr. V takes time to understand and address the most urgent issues each one of his students has. He gave me a lot of advice regarding test taking and exam anxiety, which has been a specific concern of mine that I haven't been able to get the best guidance on from anyone else. If this is a concern of yours as well, I highly suggest working with him.

First lesson with Kyle

This was my first lesson with Kyle.He went over some techniques how to approach usmle step3 questions ,which is one of my concerns regarding step 3 exam.He answered all my questions during the lesson.

Hina, 1 lesson with Kyle

Amazing!!!

Kyle definitely knows what your concerns are when it relates to exam taking. He listens to your concerns, identifies your challenges, and helps you navigate those challenges in the most streamline manner. Thank you Kyle.

Second session

After doing a random question set, I realized how little I actually knew about EKGs. All I knew was straight memorization versus actually knowing why it's the way it is. Dr V. went through EKGs with me and I feel like I finally have a grasp on them for the first time. Another great session in the books!

Brian, 12 lessons with Kyle

Knowledgeable and integrated tutor.

I have so far 2 sessions with Dr. Kyle and it really made a difference in the way of approaching tests' questions, techniques and encouragement. I also did an excellent cardio physio session that made everything clear. Highly recommended. Amazing professor!

Patient Tutor

Dr. Kyle is great, he's the only tutor to point out that my test taking skills and time management strategies were off, and I was missing big points there! He has helped me with my test taking anxiety as well and it has gotten a lot better. Thanks so much, Dr. Kyle!

Malex, 3 lessons with Kyle

Great

Kyle has helped me understand 700 level physiology material. He’s also helped me with test taking skills and managing test taking anxiety. He’s patient and able to simplify complex material and breakdown complicated processes so I can better understand them. Thanks, Kyle!
