During my time as a Physician Assistant student in the Mercy University Physician Assistant Program, I gained extensive experience tutoring fellow PA students in Clinical Medicine. I worked closely with students to help them understand complex topics such as pathophysiology, differential diagnoses, diagnostic workups, and treatment plans across multiple body systems. Because I recently completed PA school and successfully passed the NCCPA PANCE board certification exam on December 19, 2025, my teaching is current, exam-relevant, and aligned with how material is tested in PA programs and on board-style questions. I understand firsthand the academic rigor and time pressure PA students face, which allows me to teach efficiently and with empathy.
In addition to PA-level tutoring, I have also tutored college-level Genetics and Clinical Psychology courses. In genetics, I helped students master inheritance patterns, molecular genetics concepts, and exam problem-solving strategies by breaking down complex material into clear, logical steps. In clinical psychology, I supported students in understanding psychological theories, diagnostic frameworks, and applied clinical concepts. These experiences strengthened my ability to teach both science-heavy and concept-driven subjects while adapting explanations to different learning styles and academic levels.
My tutoring approach is structured, supportive, and student-centered. I focus on identifying each student’s specific weaknesses, then using clear explanations, active questioning, and real-world examples to build true understanding rather than memorization. I emphasize confidence, test-taking strategies, and long-term retention, especially for students preparing for high-stakes exams. My goal is to provide reliable, high-quality instruction that helps students feel confident, prepared, and successful in their coursework and exams.
