Bio

500+ hours of group and one on one tutoring experience at my USMD school, having tutored over 300 students in topics ranging from pre-clinicals to NBME shelf exams to Step 1 and 2. My experience is extensive and I excel at making individualized study plans that fit you and your personal goals. I passed step 1 on first attempt and received a Step 2 CK score of 268 on my first attempt, so I know how to succeed on USMLE and what it is looking for.

500+ hours of group and one on one tutoring experience at my USMD school, having tutored over 300 students in topics ranging from pre-clinicals to NBME shelf exams to Step 1 and 2. My experience is extensive and I excel at making individualized study plans that fit you and your personal goals. I passed step 1 on first attempt and received a Step 2 CK score of 268 on my first attempt, so I know how to succeed on USMLE and what it is looking for. I specialize in two areas of tutoring: study plan development, having helped hundreds of students develop and successfully develop their own, and remediation of failed USMLE exams. I have brought failing students into passing ranges in as little as 3-4 weeks following my study plan. My students can and do succeed.

My style tends to be student-guided and question-based: if you don't have a topic in mind, don't worry! I will bring some questions for us to talk through. I can tutor on any preclinical subject that the student requests for medical school.

I have spent years assisting in admissions processes and understand what medical schools are looking for in a candidate, and can help prepare students with both personal statements and interview skills. I am happy to do mock interviews!

I pride myself in responding to students extremely quickly and I have lots of time as a fourth year, so feel free to reach out and I can getcha in! I am also currently receiving my Master's in Education at Penn State World Campus, and formerly worked at UVA as a calculus TA. I have lots of experience teaching many different learners and I can meet you halfway!

Approved Subjects

Interview Prep

Interview Prep

I have been involved with interview prep for medical students at Penn State College of Medicine. I have also participated in over 50 hours of admissions lunch-talks, discussing school expectations with medical student applicants. I have also mentored multiple medical students regarding medical school interview prep, and have been significantly involved in interview work for residency applicants. Further, I am a part of Penn State's LCME reaccreditation team and am aware of the standards and qualifications needed/vision for applicants.
MCAT

MCAT

I took the MCAT myself and scored at the 87th percentile. I have extensive experience tutoring the sciences, including biology, immunology, and chemistry, all taught at the medical school level. I can help students create study plans for the MCAT, offer feedback and advice, and discuss resource usage with them.
Personal Statements

Personal Statements

I have mentored multiple medical student hopefuls in applying to medical school, including personal statement writing and expectations. My involvement has also included as an official Penn State tutor and I have discussed with students career goals/personal statement goals. I have also helped to edit personal statements for peers and mentees in the past, and many have been successfully admitted to medical school.
Public Speaking

Public Speaking

I have judged for the Virginia High School Forensics League professionally for the past 3 years, and have judged all categories, including debate, extemporaneous, and original oratory. I know what judges on a competitive circuit want and how to give students feedback on speeches, as well as rules for different categories. Additionally, I myself competed and made it to Nationals in both the extemporaneous and original oratory categories. In medical school, I have experience presenting research posters and original research, and also participated in a formal showcase debate at the Pennsylvania Hall of Delegates for the American Medical Association regarding Organ Transplant. I have experience coaching students in speech and can help create speech plans with effective feedback from the ground up!
USMLE

USMLE

I scored a 268 on Step 2 CK, above the 90th percentile. I also have spent two years as a tutor at Penn State helping students to remediate Step 1 and Step 2, working with them individually to make study plans. I currently am part of the volunteer tutoring program there and will be doing formal Step 1 and Step 2 tutoring through the school this year. Additionally, I am completing my Master's in Education May of 2026 and have experience with multiple different learning styles.

Step 2 CK Tutoring

I had a really great experience working with Eleni at the beginning of my Step 2 prep. Even though I’ve only had one session so far, she was extremely knowledgeable and provided helpful direction, especially when it came to structuring my studying, identifying which resources would work best for me, and improving my test taking strategies. She introduced me to new ways of approaching studying that I hadn’t considered before, which made a big difference. I also really appreciated her ability to recognize my learning style and guide me in a way that felt really natural and effective. She was very open to feedback about how I learn best while still providing thoughtful, expert guidance. Overall, the session was very productive, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for personalized, individualized support for Step 2.

Great with Questions and Formulating a plan!

She was very helping with figuring out my next steps for Step studying as well as blending it with my in house material. Working through questions with her enabled me to improve my test taking strategies. I highly recommend her!

Encouraging and insightful tutor

Eleni was very helpful; we went through various resources so that I could ace my pediatrics and internal medicine rotations and kill step 2. She discussed what helped her prepare for the exam and we built my schedule. I found it especially helpful that we had a brief call before our session to determine if we were a good fit. Would recommend her!
