I am very happy with our experience so far with Varsity Tutors. They matched my daughter with reading specialist Mary and she is wonderful! My 10 year old daughter feels happy after her sessions and believes her tutor has already helped her.

Sonia: Middle tutor

Certified Tutor

I am currently a 4th year medical student at a US-MD program. I am looking to work with prospective medical school and college applicants. I know how stressful and overwhelming the application process can be, and I am committed to helping students succeed. Having attended an Ivy League University and being accepted to medical school on my first try, I am excited to help students with writing and editing services for personal statements, secondary applications, AMCAS most meaningful activities, Common App essays, or supplementary college essays. I also offer USMLE Step 1 and 2 tutoring.

I help students brainstorm ideas and personal examples that showcase their strengths. I believe that essays can truly set students apart during the application process, so I do my best to communicate with students and make myself available for questions. Aside from content, I also pay close attention to grammar, punctuation, word choice, sentence structure, and general essay organization.

Some of my credentials:
I graduated summa cum laude from the University of Pennsylvania with a GPA of 3.93. I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Neuroscience and a minor in Chemistry.

I am currently a 4th year medical student at the University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School. I am part of an MD/MPH dual-degree program with the University of Massachusetts Amherst. I have passed Step 1 on my first attempt and scored a 263 on Step 2, corresponding to the 84th percentile. I am happy to offer USMLE tutoring.

My experience includes more than 2,000 hours of tutoring for medical school personal statements/secondary application editing, USMLE, SAT, and high school math and chemistry.
