Beat Your Step Score: Strategy + Study Plan
Most students who struggle with Step exams don't have a content problem — they have a strategy problem. This package is designed to fix that. We'll start with a diagnostic review of where you are, identify your highest-yield weak areas, and build a structured study plan that's actually efficient for your timeline and starting point. I scored 265 on Step 2 CK and have coached students through standardized exams for over a decade, including students who went from below-average scores to above the 90th percentile. I'll give you a clear plan and tell you exactly where your time is best spent.
What's included
This package is delivered primarily asynchronously. After an initial intake where you share your timeline, baseline scores, and prior study approach, I'll deliver a written study plan with detailed recommendations. Follow-up questions and adjustments are handled via message. No live sessions required, though optional check-ins can be arranged.
- Personalized study schedule calibrated to your test date and baseline
- Weak area diagnostic with prioritized focus areas
- Resource recommendations tailored to your learning style
- Written feedback and strategy notes you can reference throughout prep

265 Step 2 CK | UPMC Resident | Score-Focused Step Prep
I'm an OB/GYN resident at UPMC with a background in mechanical engineering from Northwestern and health tech consulting at Deloitte. I've spent 10+ years coaching and tutoring students through college applications, medical school applications, and standardized exams — with admits to Ivy League and top medical programs, and students who've gone from below-average scores to above the 90th percentile on the MCAT, SAT, and ACT. My approach is direct and structured. I think in frameworks, cut to the real problem fast, and give precise feedback instead of vague encouragement. I work best with students who have strong potential but need help figuring out how to position themselves and tell their story — especially those coming from non-traditional backgrounds.
