Hi everyone, I’m so glad you’re here! My name is Claire and I’m so excited to begin working with you.

I majored an emergency medicine and minored in chemistry at the university of Pittsburgh. During my time at Pitt, I got my EMT and then subsequently my paramedic certification. I worked for a few years as a paramedic and took higher level critical care classes in flight paramedicine which taught me about aortic balloon pumps, ventilators, and flight physiology. I feel extremely comfortable with EMT and paramedic material and would be happy to help prepare you for the NREMT & NREMT-P. I worked as a field trainer at my service and precepted EMT and paramedic students and really enjoyed this.

Additionally, I took pre-medical coursework in biology, bio chemistry, organic chemistry, general, chemistry, physics, and anatomy and physiology. I am now a third year medical student and very interested in helping others. I want to teach people the way I would’ve wanted to be taught when I was earlier in my journey. I have done well thus far in my medical school coursework and therefore have a very advanced understanding of anatomy physiology and other medical based scientific topics. I am also happy to help with any pre-medical advice. Please let me know what your needs are and we can figure out a plan! Thank you!

I took written exams on physiology which all included microbiology relevant to that organ system. This education has given me an extremely in depth, graduate-level knowledge of microbiology, equipping me with the knowledge to tutor those on graduate school, college, or high school.
Neuroscience

Neuroscience

I took multiple neuroscience classes in undergrad (including intro to neuroscience, learning and behavior)) and received an A+ in all of them) and was very close to majoring in neuro. Additionally, I was a TA for Intro to neuroscience in college, and was required to hold weekly tutoring sessions for students in the class where we essentially taught the material the professor had been teaching at a slower pace and answered questions for students struggling. I have also completed research in various neuroscience labs throughout my schooling, including research on neurodegenerative diseases in college and more recently a project on chronic spinal cord injury on mice models in medical school. Now, I am a third year medical student and have undergone preclinical coursework in neuroscience at the graduate level as well as neuroanatomy dissections. Our preclinical course work included education on the neurologic system at the cellular level, including the anatomy of the neuron, physiology of the neuromuscular junction, neurotransmitters, action potentials, pathophysiology of strokes, seizures, demyelinating diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, etc. Our dissection lab included actual dissection of human brains and the spinal cord, identifying cranial nerves, each lobe of the brain, the venous sinuses, neurologic arterial system (circle of willis) and more. I also just completed my neurology rotation and was actively seeing, examining and treating patients in the neurologic intensive care unit with life threatening neurologic diseases.
Physiology

Physiology

I am a third year medical student and have completed all of my preclinical coursework. This coursework includes in depth teaching of anatomy, physiology and Pathophysiology of every body system. Not only did I take written exams on physiology, but we had difficulty timed lab practical examinations on human cadavers we dissected. This education has given me an extremely in depth, graduate-level knowledge of anatomy and physiology of all and any body system, equipping me with the knowledge to tutor those on graduate school, college, or high school.
Psychology

Psychology

In high school, I began my psychology knowledge by taking AP Psychology and doing very well on the AP exam. In college, I continued to take further coursework in psychology. I am now a third year medical student and have completed all of my preclinical coursework. This coursework includes in depth teaching of psychology. Not only did I take written exams on psychology, but also completed an entire neurology unit in addition to neuroanatomy which gives me a very holistic and in depth understanding of psychology. but we had difficulty timed lab practical examinations on human cadavers we dissected. This education has given me an extremely in depth, graduate-level knowledge of psychology, equipping me with the knowledge to tutor those on graduate school, college, or high school.
Study Skills

Study Skills

I am currently a third-year medical student at a US MD school, which required successful completion of my undergraduate classes with excellent grades and an excellent grade on the MCAT. I also successfully passed USMLE Step 1 on my first attempt. Achieving all of these milestones required more than subject knowledge alone. It required developing and consistently applying advanced study techniques, time management strategies, test taking skills, and long-term retention methods. Through years of rigorous coursework and exam preparation, I have developed an effective approach to learning that has proven successful in highly competitive academic settings. I have personal experience with techniques such as active recall, spaced repetition, concept mapping, practice-based learning, strategic note-taking, pomodoro methods and efficient exam preparation. I know how to help students move beyond passive studying and develop personalized systems that improve comprehension, retention, and academic performance. I also already try to integrate all of these things in my tutoring, as well as creating realistic study schedules, overcoming procrastination, improving organization, managing stress and developing stronger test-taking strategies. These skills are transferable across subjects and educational levels. My current experience in medical school provides insight into the obstacles students commonly face, including heavy workloads, competing responsibilities, and exams. I believe record of achievement with my knowledge of evidence-based study methods and passion for helping others succeed will serve others well!

very knowledgable, caring, and accommodating

Right now Claire and I are working on Anatomy and Physiology 2. Unlike professors in class that lecture and throw big concepts at you at once, Claire really makes sure to not spend more time than needed and explains things in a way that are not only important to the specific topic but she relates them to clinical cases and the physiology so you're not just memorizing the information but learning the concepts. She does a very good job of asking you many questions for active recall throughout the session and is always checking in to make sure if a concept makes sense to you. If a concept doesn't make sense, then she finds other ways to be able to explain it that click for me like providing supplementary pictures instead of just re-reading over the information thats provided on the powerpoint. It is very apparent that she truly wants to help you understand the information and remember it.

Patient and Knowledgeable tutor

She booked me with short notice and helped me cram and a test I did not know a lot about. She explained the spinal cord and different regions of the brain with me and took the time to make sure I really grasped everything well. I would definitely recommend

Great Experience with Claire!

I really liked how Claire also provided me study/review advice in addition to helping me with the content I'm learning. She came prepared with the slides from my lectures so we can work on the material. I especially liked when she challenged me to explain what I know and not just be explained to. I'm looking forward to continuing with Claire.

Pia, 3 lessons with Claire

Confident and knowledgeable tutor.

Claire is amazing tutor in science/biology. Great work ethic. Asked topics, problems that needed to be addressed or taught in advance and she is/was on top of the material. My daughter also started become more disciplined after a couple tutoring sessions. Also, she answered/explained questions like above and beyond. Hope we will continue having her for other AP courses.

very knowledgeable!!

Claire was extremely helpful and took the time to really understand my needs and help me figure out how to improve my study habits for my biology class. We talked through how to create a daily schedule that works for me and manage my time leading up to my upcoming exam. I already feel much more confident about my next exam and I can't wait for my next meeting with her. I definitely recommend Claire to anyone who is looking for a tutor!

Patient, Responsive, and Easy to Learn From!

Claire was an amazing tutor and helped us tremendously. She took the time to break everything down in a way that was easy to understand and really focused on the areas we were struggling with instead of just rushing through the material. She was extremely kind, patient, and very responsive whenever we needed help. You can tell she genuinely cares about making sure her students understand the material. I would definitely recommend Claire to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, supportive, and reliable tutor! CLAIRE IS AMAZING I CANNOT STRESS IT ANYMORE!!!!

EMT tutor

My tutor is honestly amazing! She has helped me so much with studying for my EMT exam. She is extremely knowledgeable about the anatomy of the body and understands how everything works and is processed throughout the body. There were so many things I didn’t completely understand before, but she explains them in a way that makes everything finally click. This will hopefully be my third and final time taking the exam at the beginning of October. Since I started tutoring with her, I feel so much more confident and prepared than I did before!

Excellent Tutor!

Claire is extremely knowledgeable and very patient. She takes time to know the weak points but also listen and create a space that makes it interesting to go deeper in patho of subjects. In just one lesson already learned so much and can’t wait for the next one.
