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.

Esha
Admissions Tutor • +21 Subjects
I am an undergraduate student at Nova Southeastern University. I am majoring in Neuroscience and minoring in Global Engagement and Exercise Science. I have been admitted to their Dual Admission BS/DO Program and their Razor's Edge Global Scholarship Program. I plan to attend medical school and become a Physician. Throughout my educational career, I have always enjoyed learning and believe it to be a component to a better quality of life. This has made me a passionate tutor as I wish to help others reach their desired goals and obtain an appreciation for education.I attended South Elgin High School where I tutored my fellow peers in various subjects. Throughout this experience, I realized that there is a difference between muscle memory and a deep understanding. Simply knowing what to do when understanding subjects isn't enough if you don't understand why you are doing it. Therefore, as tutor I aim to help students understand what they are doing when they are accomplishing problems and developing a muscle memory so that they can tackle harder, more critical thinking questions when they are thrown at them. I believe it is important to explain things in terms that students can relate to/ understand better than just memorizing a definition.

Jewels
Anatomy & Physiology Tutor • +32 Subjects
I am a graduate of Georgia State University where I earned my Ph.D. in Cellular, Molecular Biology, and Immunology. I currently work as a full-time Assistant Professor teaching a variety of undergraduate biology courses like Biology, Microbiology, Environmental Science, and Human Anatomy & Physiology. Additionally, I also teach for The Johns Hopkins University teaching graduate-level students in courses like Epigenetics, Advanced Cell Biology, and Genes and Disease. I have taught and tutored many biology courses such as genetics, cell biology, ecology, and immunology. Throughout undergrad and graduate school, I tutored many students at local high schools, colleges, etc. While I teach and tutor in a broad range of biology courses, my favorite area to teach is immunology and Human Anatomy and Physiology. I have always been so fascinated by the human body and the various systems that keep us functioning and alive. My teaching philosophy is based on helping students reach their full potential. I feel every student can learn and grow; sometimes they just need some help and direction to assist them with their goals. I am a patient, and compassionate teacher/tutor who understands learning is not one size fits. I have more than thirteen years of teaching in higher education. I have completed continuing education in inclusive pedagogy and enjoy working with all types of students. In my free time, I enjoy reading, listening to podcasts, walking/hiking, playing with my dog, gardening, working on my aquariums, and cooking.

Frequently Asked Questions
Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who specialize in preparing for a wide range of professional certifications, including IT certifications (CompTIA, Cisco, Microsoft), project management (PMP, CAPM), finance and accounting (CPA, CFA), healthcare credentials (NCLEX, pharmacy technician), and many others. Tutors can work with you on exam-specific content, test-taking strategies, and practice problems tailored to your certification's format and requirements.
One-on-one instruction allows tutors to identify exactly where you're struggling and adapt their teaching to fill those gaps, rather than having you spend time on concepts you already understand. Personalized tutoring also provides accountability, structured study plans, and the ability to ask questions immediately when you're confused. Research on learning shows that individualized instruction significantly accelerates progress compared to self-study alone.
Preparation timelines vary widely depending on your starting knowledge, the specific certification, and how frequently you meet with your tutor. Some certifications require 2-3 months of focused study, while others may take 6+ months. Your tutor can assess your baseline knowledge and create a realistic timeline with specific milestones, helping you stay on track to meet your certification deadline.
Yes. Tutors work with students at all knowledge levels, from those brand-new to a field to those with substantial experience. If you're making a career transition, your tutor can start with foundational concepts and progressively build your knowledge toward certification-level competency. This scaffolded approach helps you develop both the conceptual understanding and practical skills needed to succeed on your exam and in your new role.
Effective strategies include breaking complex topics into smaller, manageable pieces; using practice exams repeatedly to identify weak areas; and spacing out your study sessions over time rather than cramming. A tutor helps by explaining difficult technical concepts in ways that stick, creating focused practice plans, and providing feedback on your progress. This combination of targeted instruction and strategic practice leads to stronger retention and better exam performance.
Your tutor can help you assess readiness through practice exams, diagnostic reviews, and honest conversations about your confidence level. Most certification exams have published study guides and pass rates you can reference. A good benchmark is consistently scoring at or above the passing threshold on full-length practice tests under exam conditions. Your tutor can also help you decide if you need more preparation time or if you're ready to schedule your exam.
Varsity Tutors works with tutors across many industries and certification types. If you're preparing for a specialized certification, reach out with details about the exam and field—tutors often have expertise in niche areas, and we may be able to connect you with someone who's a great fit. Even if a direct specialist isn't available, tutors skilled in related subjects can often help you master the material and exam strategies.
