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.

Certified Tutor

The difficulty of science can be challenging but together- I believe I can help. With a Doctorate in Medicine and passing three US medical licensure exams and ECFMG certification, I can help someone simplify science in a less complicated way. Having almost 10 years of education has forced me to simplify all science. I would be honored to help high school students, future scientist, medical students, US medical graduates, and International medical graduates as well. I am especially helpful in memorizing anatomy human parts, simplifying biochemistry, biology, and microbiology. One of my strength is helping students who are foreign medical school graduates who need help in passing USMLE step I, II clinical skills, and clinical knowledge. I am an expert in teaching clinical skills and I could be a standard patient. I could also help in Foreign Medical graduates with residency and externships as well. Together we can do this!!!

What is your teaching philosophy?

I think the best way of teaching is interaction between teacher and student. The more integration of visual, auditory, and physical touch- all at the same time- are necessary for teaching.

What might you do in a typical first session with a student?

I would access how much they know about a subject and figure out what their difficulty in a subject is.

How can you help a student become an independent learner?

I would ask them to put a principle or concept in their own words.

How would you help a student stay motivated?

I would find out why they are studying certain topics and find out their goals in life.
