About Jerry


Bio

I'm Jerry! I'm a resident physician practicing in family medicine. I've successfully passed both of my medical school board exams with scores in the top 40% in the country. I enjoy taking complex concepts and simplifying them down to their more elementary parts. I believe that the foundation of memorization is understanding. As such, I prefer to focus primarily on comprehension, then later provide tools to assist in memorization. Also happy to assist in crafting study plans. If you don't...

I'm Jerry! I'm a resident physician practicing in family medicine. I've successfully passed both of my medical school board exams with scores in the top 40% in the country. I enjoy taking complex concepts and simplifying them down to their more elementary parts. I believe that the foundation of memorization is understanding. As such, I prefer to focus primarily on comprehension, then later provide tools to assist in memorization. Also happy to assist in crafting study plans. If you don't know what to do or where to start with your learning, reach out and we can brain storm and come up with a plan!

All of us learn at different paces, so the learning process should never be rushed! With a little hard work and some solid coaching, I believe anyone can truly achieve their academic goals.

I've taken advanced biology courses in the process of attaining my bachelor of science in neurobiology. I've also completed all my preclinical courses in medical school which dove even deeper into advanced anatomy, biology and physiology. I have a diverse teaching experience ranging from one on one with clients, graduate courses with nursing students, and my own patients! I will be patient, supportive, and thorough in my teaching of these topics until you feel comfortable with subject the matter and ready for any assessments!

Do reach out if your interested and have some more questions for me. I'm here to work with you to achieve your academic goals!

Med. School Cardiology

Jerry's passion for his work shines through in his teaching, which I deeply appreciate. He tailors the lesson plan and his approach to fit my needs perfectly, ensuring that the session is incredibly valuable. I firmly believe that I succeeded in my Cardiology block exam due to his exceptional teaching. As a medical student, finding a tutor who can effectively deliver complex content is often challenging, but Jerry exceeds all expectations. He truly is a remarkable tutor, and I consider myself fortunate to have found such a gem in him

Incredibly knowledgeable and supportive tutor for third year medical students!

Jerry was absolutely wonderful to work with! As a third-year medical student on my very first inpatient clinical rotation, I’ve been feeling incredibly overwhelmed and stressed, especially when it comes to presentations. Jerry patiently took the time to work with me one-on-one, helping me practice and refine my presentation style in a way that made me feel more confident and at ease. He shared a great framework to help presentations flow more smoothly, along with practical tips on how to impress attendings. He also reviewed the interpretation of common lab values in the inpatient setting, which made the process feel much less daunting because I often don't even know where to start. Thanks to Jerry’s guidance and support, I now feel much more prepared and capable when presenting. I highly recommend him to any third-year medical student who’s struggling, you don’t have to go through it alone!

He make my pass my nursing patho final exam where I need a 69 to pass and I got higher

Run and stop thinking about it, and take him. He explained everything better than my nursing professor. He made me feel confident in what I was learning by active recall with questions and reteaching all the lectures that would be on the final. I selected him because I feared I wouldn't make it the following semester. I have a disability, and I feel like he made me understand better with visual and audio learning while also making me relate things I already know in life and past education. This is my first semester in nursing.

Legit one of the best tutors I have ever had!

Jerry teaches me Advanced Physiology! For anyone wondering, this is NURS-G908: Advanced Physiology at Loyola University New Orleans. I am a 2nd Semester student in their DNP Nurse Anesthesia (CRNA) program! Without Jerry's guidance through all this stuff I would have failed out of this subject in the first 8 weeks! He takes his time, always hits the key concepts and knows the material like the back of his hand! I have already recommended him to other class mates and even to our faculty to recommend him to future students entering our program! Can't say enough great things about him!

Exceptional Tutor with a Clear and Effective Teaching Style

Jerry has truly been one of the best tutors I've worked with! His teaching style helped me build a strong foundation by starting with the basics and gradually layering more complex concepts. One of the most effective techniques we used was covering up images during anatomy review to recall structures actively—this reinforced my understanding. He also took the time to review my lecture slides, identify high-yield content, and turn it into questions that tested my knowledge in a way that stuck. His patience and dedication to ensuring I truly understood the material shows that he's not only a great tutor but will make an incredible lecturer.

Very good tutor, I would like to continue have him for further tutoring pharmocology.

All required for the session thought well. Clarified all questions. I am happy with his teaching method. I would like to continue with tutoring whenever I need help with the subjects not able to pick right answer.

Knowledgeable and Patient Tutor

We recently hired Jerry to assist our daughter to help prepare her for an upcoming neurobio final. In just a few lessons he has already increased her confidence and understanding of the material. Looking forward to seeing the results of her final and feel it will be her best test this semester!

Patient and knowledge

Jerry was very patient when going over material. He makes sure that I understand the information and doesn’t have a problem with re-explaining it. His way for breaking information down helps me understand that information and able to apply it.

Patient and dedicated tutor

Jerry is SO patient and has a calm demeanor which really helps. I'm taking advanced pathophysiology/physiology in NP school and he's great at explaining the topics. Many provider-tutors on here do not have the teaching skills, but he's clearly very experienced and gives great tips from what worked for him in Med School including ones I've never tried and think will be helpful! Also, this man has serious dedication. It turned to after dark during our session and he was so committed he was teaching/tutoring in the dark! Glad to have found him!
