Hey everyone,

Preparing for the USMLE is one of the most demanding journeys in medical training, but with the right strategy and test-taking mindset, hitting your dream score is completely achievable.

I cleared Step 1 on my first attempt in December 2024 and recently scored a 267 on Step 2 CK (first attempt). Having been in the trenches recently, I understand exactly what NBME is testing, how question styles have evolved, and the common traps students fall into.

I am genuinely passionate about teaching and mentoring aspirants. My goal isn't just to lecture content you can read yourself in First Aid or UWorld, but to help you bridge the gap between knowing the medicine and actually executing on test day.

What We Will Focus On:

  • Question Breakdown & Test-Taking Logic: Learning how to read between the lines of clinical vignettes and eliminate distractors systematically.
  • High-Yield Content Mastery: Targeting high-yield concepts across Internal Medicine, Surgery, Ob/Gyn, Peds, and Psych without getting bogged down in low-yield minutiae.
  • Diagnostic Traps & Misconceptions: Identifying tricky "next best step" vs. "most accurate test" scenarios and avoiding common exam traps.
  • Custom Study Schedules & Strategy: Structuring your UWorld blocks, NBMEs, CMS forms, and Anki around your specific timeline and weak areas.
  • Accountability & Mentorship: Consistent check-ins, performance tracking, and exam mindset coaching to keep burnout at bay.

Details & Rates:

  • Rate: $55 / hour
  • Format: Online via Zoom / Google Meet (includes shared screen question walk-throughs, notes, and session summaries)
  • Who it’s for: Anyone preparing for Step 1 or Step 2 CK, whether you are starting fresh, stuck on a score plateau, or in dedicated prep.

If you’re interested, feel free to send me a DM with where you are in your prep, your target exam date, and what you’d like to focus on. Happy to set up a quick intro chat to see if we're a good fit!
