Are you weeks out of your USMLE Step 1 exam and need help making quick progress on your NBMEs? If so, you've found the perfect tutor for that. I'm Nina, a Northwestern MD grad who specializes in helping students quickly improve their scores in time for their Step 1 exam. I developed a systematic method for preparing for the exam that has helped all of my students (25+) pass. This method has been adapted to each of my students and has led to gradual progress on their NBMEs. Students who work with me typically see a 10-15% improvement in scores over the course of several weeks. My tutoring method targets your weaknesses, focuses on high-yield USMLE content, and includes custom memory tools to help you remember things quick. If you are interested in tutoring, please reach out with your availability, recent NBME scores, and anticipated Step 1 date. Thank you.

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.
