Ivy League Test Prep Expert: USMLE, MCAT, SAT, ACT

Miriam M.

I'm a rising fourth-year medical student with a bachelor's degree in political science from UPenn. My strong MCAT performance, acceptance into medical school, and passing Step 1 and 2 allow me the opportunity to tutor students in standardized exams effectively. My social sciences education gives me the foundation to help students with reading, writing, and critical thinking.

I have extensive tutoring experience across two settings: one-on-one support for elementary and middle school students, and classroom teaching as a volunteer in Nepal for children living in an orphanage. Those experiences taught me the importance of meeting students where they are and turning their weaknesses into strengths.

My approach is warm, structured, and data-driven. I usually ask students to take a baseline practice test to identify potential gaps. Then, together we create a realistic plan to meet weekly goals. Spaced recall is key to strengthening memory and achieving long-term results. For younger learners, I like to work with parents on setting goals and tracking progress.
