I am an MD with experience helping students prepare for medical licensing exams, including the USMLE Step 1, with my favourite (and strongest) topics being cardiovascular and renal systems. I earned my medical degree from Zhejiang Chinese Medical University in China, completed clinical rotations at one of the largest hospitals in Zambia, and later in 2021, moved to the U.S, where I have done additional clinical shadowing in areas such as dermatology. I have taken the USMLE Step 1 myself and plan to take Steps 2 and 3 in 2026. I will be honest and admit that I did not pass Step 1 on my first attempt, and my initial preparation took over a year because my study approach was not working. That struggle gave me deep insight into test-taking anxiety, information overload, and how hard it can be to retain material when the foundation is not solid. Hence, my passion for the basics like physiology. This is what allows me to truly understand and support students who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or discouraged.
My tutoring style is calm, encouraging, and structured, with a strong focus on exam strategy and real-world clinical thinking. I have helped students in the U.S., India, and Africa prepare for the USMLE Step 1, and I also work with nursing, pre-med, and health-science students, building a strong foundation for medical practice. I break complex topics down step by step, use simple visuals and clinical examples, and emphasize practice questions so students gain confidence not just in the material, but in how to approach exams. I offer flexible online sessions that fit busy schedules, and I tailor each lesson to the student their goals. My goal is to help students feel confident, capable, and prepared; not just to pass an exam, but to think like a clinician.
