I’m so glad you’re considering tutoring support—I know how challenging and rewarding this journey can be, and I’d love to help you feel confident and prepared along the way.

As a medical student with a background in liberal arts and a passion for teaching, I bring both analytical rigor and creative thinking to my tutoring approach. I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin through a selective honors program, where I honed my writing and communication skills while also pursuing research and pre-med coursework. I scored a 523 on the MCAT and 264 on Step 2, and I’ve spent years mentoring students at different stages—whether preparing for the MCAT and USMLE, navigating tough courses, or working on personal statements and applications.

My tutoring style is collaborative, structured, and always tailored to your learning style and goals. I believe success doesn’t just come from mastering the material—it comes from building confidence, thinking critically, and approaching challenges with curiosity. Whether you’re studying for a big exam, working through a difficult subject, or trying to tell your story through an application, I’m here to support you with tools and strategies that are both practical and empowering.

Looking forward to working with you!

I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin as part of a competitive liberal arts honors program, where I received individualized academic advising and extensive mentorship in professional development. I was accepted to a top-tier medical school, where I continue to mentor pre-med and college students through the application process.

I enjoy helping students craft compelling applications that reflect their strengths, values, and potential.

I have extensive experience with academic and personal essay writing, developed through a liberal arts honors program that emphasized critical thinking and clear, persuasive communication.

My background allows me to guide students in developing strong narratives that highlight their unique experiences and strengths.
