"Master Step 1 and Science without the Burnout.

Passing Step 1 isn't about memorizing First Aid cover-to-cover; it's about mastering board-style logic and identifying high-yield patterns. As a third-year medical student who successfully passed Step 1 in 2025 and has over 4 years of tutoring experience, I help students bridge the gap between "knowing the facts" and "getting the questions right."

I cleared the Step 1 hurdle using a streamlined, high-yield approach, and I now help my students replicate that success by focusing on the 20% of content that shows up in 80% of the questions.

My Approach: High-Yield & High-Structure Medical education can feel like drinking from a firehose. I don’t believe in lecturing at my students; I believe in active engagement. Our sessions are built around three core pillars:

The "So What?" Method: For every concept we cover, we ask "How will the boards test this?" We focus on differentiating "must-know" high-yield patterns from "low-yield" distractors.

Executive Function Support: I am very ADHD-friendly. I help students break down massive subjects (like Pharmacology or Neuro) into organized, bite-sized checklists. We use structured intervals to maintain focus and ensure every session ends with a clear summary.

Board-Style Thinking: We will spend significant time on "question deconstruction." I teach you how to read a clinical vignette, identify the "lead-in," and rule out distractors using a systematic process of elimination.

Experience You Can Trust I have spent over 4 years mentoring and tutoring students across the biological sciences. Whether it’s helping a pre-med student conquer Biochemistry or guiding a peer through the final weeks of dedicated Step 1 prep, my goal is the same: to reduce your anxiety by providing a clear, manageable path to mastery." less...
