I really take pleasure in helping students learn and achieving their true potential. I feel that building self-esteem and confidence in and out of the classroom can set the tone for future success. I have worked with students of all ages and have substituted taught middle school and high school science for about 5 years all in between completing medical school. I have a B.A. degree in Biology as well as Doctor of Medicine (M.D.). I tutor a wide range of subjects including the USMLE Step 1 and Step 2. I was born in Los Angeles and grew up in South Jersey, and a huge Philadelphia Eagles fan. I enjoy tennis, football, cooking, and a huge movie buff. My favorite subjects are Neurology, Psychology, and Psychiatry. I like to approach challenging concepts by using diagrams, charts, and visual pictures that can help students organize complex information in their head while also retaining the material for exams. Practice makes PROGRESS!
