Bio

Hi! My name is Jacob, and I’m currently a fourth-year medical student applying to pathology residency in Fall 2025. I’ve been tutoring for over 10 years, beginning in high school and continuing through college and medical school. Throughout this time, I’ve worked with students at all levels and across a wide range of subjects, with a strong focus on science and medical education.

Hi! My name is Jacob, and I’m currently a fourth-year medical student applying to pathology residency in Fall 2025. I’ve been tutoring for over 10 years, beginning in high school and continuing through college and medical school. Throughout this time, I’ve worked with students at all levels and across a wide range of subjects, with a strong focus on science and medical education.

In college, I served as the lead tutor for General Chemistry I & II, Anatomy I & II, and Organic Chemistry. I was also a gross anatomy tutor, a role I continued into my second year of medical school. Since 2022, I’ve worked with AnKing, helping develop and edit flashcard decks used by nearly 100,000 medical students worldwide.

I’m deeply passionate about medical education and love helping students succeed—whether they’re just getting started or are preparing for high-stakes exams like USMLE or COMLEX. I’ve personally passed both COMLEX Level 1 and USMLE Step 1 on my first attempts, and scored at or above the 90th percentile on every NBME shelf exam during my third year. Most recently, I earned a 266 on USMLE Step 2, placing in the 90th percentile nationally.

My goal as a tutor is simple: help you build exam-proof strategies that allow you to reach your full potential—whether you’re preparing for Step, COMLEX, shelf exams, or just trying to solidify core medical concepts. I work with students at every level, and I tailor each session to your individual needs and goals.

When I’m not tutoring, you’ll find me snowboarding, cooking, or diving into a good fantasy novel.

Let’s work together to help you study smarter and score higher!

I am a fourth-year medical student with comprehensive training in pharmacology, having successfully completed all required coursework to date. I have passed both the COMLEX and USMLE exams, which include extensive pharmacology content. My strong foundation allows me to confidently tutor students in understanding drug mechanisms, interactions, and clinical applications. I am committed to helping students master pharmacology concepts to excel in their exams and future clinical practice.

USMLE

I have extensive experience with medical licensing exams, having passed COMLEX Level 1 and USMLE Step 1 on my first attempts. I scored a 266 on Step 2, placing in the 90th percentile nationally. During my third year of medical school, I consistently performed at or above the 90th percentile on all of my USMLE shelf exams. This success reflects both a deep understanding of the material and effective, high-yield study strategies that I now share with students.

Super knowledgeable and dumbs down the hard stuff!

Jacobs was a game-changer when it came to studying for Lvl 1. Each session is packed with high-yield pearls and test-taking strategies that actually stick. We practiced how to think through vignettes, dissect distractors, and manage timing. Jacob was always patient, encouraging, and great at turning weak areas into strengths with targeted question sets and mini “teach-backs.” I leave every session with a concrete plan and feel noticeably more confident. Highly recommend to anyone serious about leveling up for Level 1/2.

The Best Tutor for COMLEX & USMLE!

Jacob is hands down the best tutor I’ve ever worked with! Studying for COMLEX and Step 1 can feel overwhelming, but Jacob made everything make sense. He breaks down even the most complicated concepts into clear, easy-to-understand explanations, and always connects them back to how they’re tested on the boards. Every session felt focused, high-yield, and genuinely productive. What really sets Jacob apart is how much he cares about his students. He’s incredibly patient, encouraging, and genuinely invested in your success. He doesn’t just teach — he helps you think like a clinician, build confidence, and stay motivated through the grind. He also helped me create an efficient study plan, target my weak areas, and improve my test-taking strategy. Thanks to Jacob, I not only passed my exam but also gained a much deeper understanding of the material. He made me believe in myself again when studying felt impossible. If you’re preparing for COMLEX or Step 1/2, don’t hesitate — Jacob is the real deal. I can’t recommend him highly enough!
