Hi, I'm Dr. Silati, and I teach the "why" so it sticks. I know how it feels to be stuck, because my own Step 1 preparation did not work at first and it took me over a year to rebuild my approach from the ground up. That struggle taught me a great deal about test anxiety, information overload, and how hard it is to retain material when the foundation is not solid, and it is why I am so passionate about the basics.

I am a medical doctor with my degree from Zhejiang Chinese Medical University in China. I completed clinical rotations at one of the largest hospitals in Zambia and moved to the United States in 2021, where I have done additional clinical shadowing, including in dermatology. My strongest areas are cardiovascular, endocrine, and renal physiology, and I also teach pathophysiology, pharmacology, anatomy, neuroanatomy, cell biology, and biology. I work with medical, DO, PA, nursing, pharmacy, pre-med, and health science students, and with pharmacists, preparing them for USMLE Step 1, COMLEX, and nursing and pharmacy exams.
My sessions are calm, encouraging, and structured. I break complex topics down step by step using simple visuals, clinical examples, and plenty of practice questions, so you gain confidence not only in the material but in how to approach the exam. I tailor each lesson to your goals and schedule. If you are feeling overwhelmed or discouraged, you are in the right place, and I would be glad to help you feel capable and prepared and to think like a clinician.
