"I am a fourth-year medical student at the University of Arizona College of Medicine–Phoenix with a strong academic background in biology, physiology, chemistry, and medical sciences. I earned a 264 on USMLE Step 2 CK and have extensive experience in academic writing, research, and clinical education. I have been tutoring and teaching for several years in multiple settings, including one-on-one tutoring, small-group sessions, and structured teaching roles. I previously worked as an MCAT Biology instructor for The Princeton Review, where I taught undergraduate students using evidence-based teaching strategies focused on clarity, active learning, and spaced repetition. In medical school, I have served as a peer tutor for preclinical coursework, a mentor at an FQHC where I help first- and second-year students develop clinical reasoning, and an admissions interviewer who helps applicants strengthen their personal narratives. I have worked with students ranging from high school and college to graduate/professional school applicants. My tutoring approach emphasizes breaking down complex concepts into simple, understandable pieces, identifying knowledge gaps, and helping students build confidence through guided practice. I tailor my methods to each learner’s goals and level, ensuring sessions are supportive, efficient, and grounded in strong study techniques." less...
