10+ Years Teaching Experience|MCAT & USMLE Tutor | Admissions Support

Natasha M.

My name is Natasha, a graduate of the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. I have over 10+ years of experience tutoring peers and 5+ years of experience mentoring students across the pre-medical/medical school application pathway.

I began tutoring during high school and continued through my undergraduate university’s academic support center, where I worked closely with students navigating rigorous pre-med coursework. Since 2017, I have privately tutored physics, biology, and chemistry, and since 2020, I have focused on MCAT preparation. Over the years, I have helped students achieve significant score improvements and gain admission to highly competitive programs, including the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine, Harvard, Stanford, the University of Pittsburgh, and other top medical schools. I have additionally helped dozens of students pass USMLE 1&2 after initial failures.

My tutoring philosophy is highly individualized and grounded in evidence-based adult learning principles. I take time early on to understand how each student learns, identify specific strengths and gaps, and build a personalized strategy that emphasizes high-yield content, critical reasoning, and efficient test taking.
