Hi! Thanks for visiting my page.

A little about me:
I graduated Summa Cum Laude and as part of Alpha Omega Alpha from UT San Antonio's highly-competitive 7-year BS/MD program. I am currently a Dermatology resident at a Top 10 Dermatology program.

I am passionate about mentoring and tutoring medical students, as I understand the rigors and demands of medical training. I have spent time interviewing and serving on admissions committees for medical school and residency; and I understand the intricacies and subtleties of what makes an applicant stand out in the best way. Having just recently undergone a rigorous residency application cycle, interviewing at almost 50 total preliminary and dermatology programs, I have a well-developed understanding of how to navigate the residency application process.

I have helped students obtain admissions at a variety of colleges and medical schools including top state and Ivy-league schools and more. I have also helped medical students of all backgrounds (of any specialty interest, MD or DO school, or IMG status) match into their dream residency programs. There is definitely a strategy and pathway that goes into the applications and admissions process for these high-level schools and programs, and guidance is critical to navigating the complexities and intricacies of these pathways.

Additionally, having spent most of my life in school, I have a thorough understanding of the different challenges and adaptations we each have to make with different courses, tests, and instructors. I have extensive experience working with students of all stages of education. I make sure to tailor my sessions for each student as I develop an understanding of what their study preferences and goals are.

For transparency, my statistics are listed below:
PSAT: 240
SAT: 2350
USMLE Step 1: 258
USMLE Step 2: 278
USMLE Step 3: 250

11/10 session! Caroline is highly skilled and exceeded my expectations

I had an incredible session with Caroline! She was was patient and very insightful. I needed help formulating a series of short answers for an application and Caroline exceeded my expectations. She was able to capture my thoughts and help me creatively formulate the answers to the questions asked of me. She also possesses a kind personality and makes you feel comfortable. I am so excited that I met her on this platform and I will definitely request to work with her again! She’s excellent!

Knowledgeable and detail oriented

Provides thoughtful, honest feedback on college counseling. Caroline is very knowledgeable of the process and provides tangible tools to help you stand out. She is very thorough and will meticulously review every word with you in essays, and she makes an effort to dig deeper to pull out the best content possible so that students can put forward the best representation of who they are.

Productive lesson. Kind and encouraging tutor.

Caroline dove right in at the start of our lesson. She had me going through UWorld practice questions on a screen-share, which I think gave her a sense of my strengths and challenges. I was a bit intimidated at the start of our lesson, because I know how well Caroline herself scored on this test, and because English is not my first language. But Caroline's kind manner and encouragement put me at ease. I felt it was a productive lesson and am looking forward to our next one.

The Best Tutor!

Caroline is awesome! I leveraged her for assistance with my medical school application. She is very responsive, thorough in her approach, and offers thoughtful suggestions. She is always very positive and brings great energy to every call. I have used tutoring services and mentors in the past and Caroline has definitely “raised the bar” in terms of impact and effectiveness. I highly recommend Caroline and will certainly be using her in the future! (A+ experience)

Amazing, kind, and patient tutor

Caroline was extremely helpful for advising me for Step 1, Step 2, clinical rotations, and residency applications for Dermatology. She provided me with a ton of information and resources. I really appreciate her guidance and I highly recommend her!

Knowledgeable Tutor

Today, Caroline conducted a rapid fire which involved practicing very important interview questions. She gave great feedback on how I articulate and also on how to answer tough behavioral/ ethical questions. Caroline is a wonderful tutor and helped me prepare for my upcoming residency interviews. I would recommend Caroline to other students as well. We worked on answering some of the key questions that might be asked in an interview which helped me perform really well. She took the time to analyze and work on the areas that I needed to strengthen better. Caroline is very knowledgeable in Medicine and was able to easily answer any questions that I have had. Additionally, I received quick responses when trying to reach her outside of lessons especially when trying to schedule last minute.

Awesome

She is an extremely well-versed tutor in strategy and material. I have had other tutors that maybe provide 2-3 solid pieces of advice for a session then just chat most of the time. We were efficient, guided, and she provided a clear picture of what I need to do from start to finish. It was really good, and this is coming from a 100+ review 5 star Wyzant tutor (for MCAT, college and high school). So as a colleague, I can highly recommend her. Get her for medical school clinical rotations and Step 2.
