"What separates me from other tutors is that I have taught national board-review courses at Ivy League universities and major academic teaching hospitals. Has your tutor done the same? Being invited to teach at a national level is an opportunity few receive—has your tutor been invited to do the same?

Why are my rates low if I’m so “qualified”?

Students and residents are often in debt. Education is expensive; I can’t in good conscience charge high fees. I choose motivated learners and guide them through their journey. If you’re weighing a pricey board-review course or hundreds to a tutor, I keep tutoring affordable.

Am I qualified?

30 years of teaching; six board certifications.

What I offer

Graduates of my program may join a weekly, one-hour didactic reading of core medical texts—page by page, chapter by chapter—to deepen understanding over time.

Background

6-year accelerated program at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute/Albany Medical College; National Science Award; graduated cum laude; passed USMLE Steps 1–3 on the first attempt. I’ve cared for patients across settings; taught nursing students, EMTs, medical students, residents, and fellows; published peer-reviewed work; began tutoring at Brown University and continued from there; multiple Golden Apple teaching awards. Even 30 years later, former students still write to say the training shaped their careers.

My approach

I observe how you work, run a focused diagnostic lesson, and tailor instruction to your visual/auditory/tactile mix. Together we strengthen weak links and build clinical reasoning—not just test-taking." less...
