"I am currently a 4th year medical student at Nova Southeastern University. I previously graduated from the University of California, Santa Barbara with a degree in biological sciences (honors) with an emphasis in immunology.

I have performed exceptionally well on numerous standardized tests including:

1) Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) | Score: 38 (99th percentile)

2) Dental Admissions Test (DAT) | Score: 24 (99th percentile)

3) United States Medical Licensing Exam (USMLE) Step 1 | Score: 261 (98th percentile)

4) Comprehensive Osteopathic Medical Licensing Exam (COMLEX) Level 1 | Score: 812 (99th percentile)

5) USMLE Step 2 | Score: 271 (98th percentile)

6) COMLEX Level 2 | Score: 742 (96th percentile)

I achieve success with my students by minimizing the memorization of facts, and instead focusing on the conceptual understanding of information. For example, when studying physiology I helps students focus less on what a system is doing and more on the homeostatic rational of why a system is doing it. This style of logical thinking creates a more fun learning environment while giving students more flexibility in applying their knowledge, translating into significantly higher test scores." less...
