About Me

Becoming a physician was no easy feat, and neither were all those years of school and standardized tests along the way! But I didn't do it alone. I had tutors help me every step of the way. Not only did they help me to boost my grades, but they provided me with academic confidence and mentoring, all of which made me realize that my greatest goals could be a tangible reality. Now I couldn't be happier in my career as a surgeon in training. I have ever since been "paying it forward," educating high school and college level students, and now medical students. The greatest satisfaction is seeing my students get that "ah ha!" moment when everything comes together, and then seeing them go on to accomplish what they always thought was impossible. Now that I have some free time while doing research, I'm excited to give students that same confidence and mentorship that my tutors gave me.

Q&A with Rachel

I let my students guide me on what style of teaching works best. Relating difficult subjects to topics that students understand, like a hobby or interest, puts things into perspective. I also find that, once students understand a general concept, they can rationalize and figure out all the details on their own just by thinking about it. This helps knowledge to "stick" much longer than with rote memorization, and also helps a lot with test-taking.
