Bio

Hello! My name is Taylor, and I am so excited to help you. I'm a medical resident specializing in pathology (lab medicine). I plan to ultimately pursue a career in transfusion medicine and research, and was just accepted for fellowship at Mayo Clinic for the 2028-2029 academic year.

Hello! My name is Taylor, and I am so excited to help you. I'm a medical resident specializing in pathology (lab medicine). I plan to ultimately pursue a career in transfusion medicine and research, and was just accepted for fellowship at Mayo Clinic for the 2028-2029 academic year.

I've taught a variety of topics over the past decade, and now at work I primarily train medical students, other doctors, and laboratory professionals. I did well on my MCAT and STEP exams, and spent a couple of years as a peer tutor for medical students before graduating and becoming a resident, where I still teach and mentor medical students.

I also have a lot of experience interviewing and am happy to discuss strategies and tips when it comes to applying and interviewing for medical school, residency, or fellowships.

I can also help you with all kinds of essays, whether they be argumentative, personal narratives, expository, and more, including personal statements. I also am well-versed in the different essay formats, including MLA, APA, and Chicago.

I'm super excited for the opportunity to meet you!

Credentials:
-I absolutely LOVE science, particularly biology, and made high grades in all my university courses
-MCAT score: 514
-Graduated summa cum laude from the University of Houston Honors College
-STEP1 score: pass (I was the first year they stopped scoring STEP1)
-STEP2 score: 268

Approved Subjects

Interview Prep

Interview Prep

As a current pathology resident at UTMB, I have extensive firsthand experience navigating competitive medical education interviews, including medical school and residency interviews. I have also mentored students and junior trainees through professional development, application preparation, and interview-related questions, helping them present their experiences clearly and communicate their academic and career goals effectively. My experience as a medical trainee and researcher allows me to provide practical guidance on answering common medical training interview questions, discussing research and extracurricular experiences, and developing thoughtful, authentic responses rather than relying on memorized answers.
Microbiology

Microbiology

I completed college-level courses in both Microbiology for nursing students and general Microbiology with high A's. I also recently finished a course in "The Molecular Basis of Infectious Diseases," which was essentially a more in-depth course on how microbes infect humans. I'm also a huge nerd about the subject, and have researched various microbio topics for class assignments (and just for kicks) :)
Physics

Physics

I spent a year as a TA/tutor for Physics I students in the physics department at the University of Houston. I also serve as a freelance tutor for both high school and college physics students.
USMLE

USMLE

I successfully completed the USMLE examinations as part of my medical training and am currently a pathology resident at UTMB. My medical education and residency training have given me a strong foundation in pathology, physiology, pharmacology, microbiology, immunology, and other core subjects tested on the USMLE. I have extensive experience teaching medical students and junior trainees and enjoy helping students connect foundational concepts to clinical presentations rather than relying solely on memorization. I can help students develop a structured study approach, identify knowledge gaps, interpret challenging practice questions, and understand the underlying reasoning needed to approach unfamiliar USMLE-style problems.
Writing

Writing

As a pathology resident at an academic medical center, I am actively involved in clinical research and have experience developing manuscripts, conference abstracts, research protocols, and case reports for submission to peer-reviewed medical journals and professional conferences. My research has included transfusion medicine, apheresis, laboratory medicine, pathology education, and the application of large language models to clinical decision-making. I have experience responding to peer-review comments, revising manuscripts for resubmission, improving scientific organization and clarity, and presenting quantitative findings in tables and figures. I can provide substantive editing focused on scientific clarity, organization, grammar, academic tone, and communicating research findings effectively while preserving the author's own voice and conclusions.

Awesome

Taylor is very patient and knowledgeable. Taylor teaches in a way that helps get the wheels in my head moving. She engages well and is great at explaining lessons.

Jay, 4 lessons with Taylor

Would Definitely Recommend!

She’s super helpful. She doesn’t just explain how to do the question. She asks me how I would solve it and she will provide me input and explain anything I’m doing wrong or don’t understand.

Awesome tutor

She was amazing, let me talk things out and then discuss questions and the answers choices, eliminating choices. Had lots of resources and slides to show me. Thank you!
