USMLE Step 1 - 252 (87th Percentile)

Hello friends!

I hope you are doing well and staying safe! I am a licensed Internal Medicine physician in my country, India - MBBS, MD (Internal Medicine). I am on my own journey to USA too.

My main USP is: correcting the method, how to study, how to retain, how to learn from UW and how to apply and thus getting maximum score according to individual capabilities possible. I would much like to offer you this rather than teaching you all the content as it is already done very well by Dr Sattar, Dr Ryan and UW writers. Basically, I want you to learn “how to fish” rather than me or someone to spoon-feed you. So, in your journey in medicine, you don’t need tutor ever again.

My approach would be like this: we would have 3-4 hour online video session over zoom. I will learn about you, what is your daily routine and how you study and how you take test in detail. I will find the issues, which can be improved and we will work collectively to devise a approach that is best suitable for you.

If you need tutoring service for step 1 or 2, I am available for that too. I usually take one student or one group at a time only as I have my own studies to do also.
My approach to learning and teaching both is ‘testing’. I fully believe and am committed to active learning. You can’t dose off in my lecture, you will be fully engaged and active. Along with the content I am delivering, I make sure that you have right method to understand and retain it and you can take this learning forward, i.e. you can take this learning and methodology and learn advanced text on your own or teach someone!

“Teach him how to fish and you feed him for his life time!”

I have taught many MBBS students, physiotherapy students during my tenure as resident, assistant professor and clinician. I am well versed with where student usually have difficulty in their studies, because I have been there! :)

Right now my primary focus is USMLE, studying and teaching both. I have got 87th Percentile score (252) 10 years after my graduation recently. I am quite familiar with the hard work one has to put to achieve that. So, I strongly feel I can help you to achieve that and help you along the journey!

For Step 1, I can provide my full annotated notes based on FA, Boards and beyond, UWorld, BRS; that will help you decrease the manual labor you have to do and you will be able to focus on primary thing, learning.

We can work for USMLE Step 2 too.
