Nina’s USMLE Qualifications

Coaches professionally

20+ people coached for USMLE

I am a Northwestern MD graduate with over eight years of experience tutoring STEM subjects. I specialize in tutoring for the USMLE Step 1 exam and in producing rapid NBME score improvement in the weeks leading up to the exam, resulting in successful exam outcomes. I tutor students for Step 1 using a systematic study method I developed. My approach emphasizes mastery of high-yield USMLE concepts, precise answer differentiation, and identification of errors in clinical reasoning to drive rapid score gains. Students using this method typically achieve a 10–15% improvement in NBME scores over a 2–3 week period. My tutoring is highly individualized and data-driven. I target each student’s specific weaknesses, implement customized memory strategies to improve retention, and track repeatedly missed concepts to guide focused review and spaced repetition throughout our sessions. Step 1 preparation requires an experienced tutor who understands both the exam and how students learn. I provide structured, results-oriented guidance designed to maximize performance in the final weeks before the exam.

About Nina

I am a Northwestern MD graduate who has tutored STEM subjects for over 8 years now. I specialize in tutoring the USMLE Step 1 exam and helping students quickly improve their exam scores, just weeks before the exam.

Why do I coach?

Initially, I had difficulty understanding how to tackle the concepts tested on the USMLE Step 1 exam. I found a way to study that quickly improved my scores and confidence in the material, ultimately leading to a pass on exam day. This is the exact same method I teach my students through tutoring, which has helped all of my students (20+) pass so far.
