I am a 4th year student at Stanford Medical School. I completed my undergrad at MIT with a double major in computational biology and mathematics. I was a TA in the electrical engineering and computer science department. I have extensive experience tutoring high school and college students in math and science subjects. In addition to MCAT and USMLE tutoring, I am also happy to aid in the medical school and residency application processes.

Figuring out how to study for the MCAT or Step 1/2 is often the most important part of the process. It may seem like an overwhelming amount of content to cover, but these tests aren't really as much about memorization as people believe them to be. It's about understanding the concepts and being able to apply logic on test day. I'm not here to make promises of knowing all the "high-yield" topics, but rather to equip you with the skillset and strategy that will allow you to attack any passage or question. I believe improvement is possible for everyone: for the MCAT, my first practice test was a 501 and I scored a 525 on the real thing; for USMLE Step 2, my first practice test was a 242 and I scored a 270 on test day. Through my time studying, I came up with my own approaches that were unique from anything I could find online or from test-prep companies, and I hope to share these with you so that you can succeed too!
Don't waste any more time guessing how to best prepare! I'm super flexible about scheduling lessons so don't hesitate to reach out :)
