Lisa

Certified Tutor

I hold a BA and BS from California State University, Northridge, a pre-medicine certificate from UCLA, MD from St. George's University and I am currently completing my MPH from St. George's University. I have a passion for science and I plan to one day practice as an anesthesiologist.

I began tutoring in high school when I tutored elementary school students in German. During my studies at UCLA, I tutored middle school students in Southern California as part of the Boys and Girls Club. While in medical school I was hired by my university to tutor pre-medicine and MD students.

I love tutoring all types of science but my favorite subjects to tutor are anatomy and neuroscience because they feel like solving puzzles and have such a close relationship to anesthesia. I honored my NBME exams during medical school and have passed both USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 Ck.

I have a strong passion for teaching pre-med and medical students because the material can feel very dense and overwhelming. I find ways to break down the material into smaller chunks to help maximize understanding of topics.

I love teaching students because everyone deserves the same opportunities to further their future. It is a great feeling when a student can say they not only scored well on exams but that they truly understand the material.

I love to travel and explore new places as well watch Youtube and everything Disney!
