Amanda is an enthusiastic, dedicated, and thorough tutor with a strong background in teaching and mentoring. She established a robust mentoring program as a college student and has been tutoring medical students since 2019. As a medical student, she was selected to be part of the Academic Assurance Program. Through this program, she co-created and co-led presentations and practice question sessions with other tutors to help prepare students who were at risk of low performance on STEP 1. During this time, she also continued to tutor individual students in weekly sessions on various topics including pre-clinical work, SHELF exams, STEP 1, STEP 2, Question Analysis Techniques and Anki Utilization. Amanda’s tutoring philosophy is heavily question-based and revolves around building pattern recognition skills and critically evaluating and targeting weak areas. She believes in using a data-driven approach to progress. In the past she has been successful in helping others utilize question analysis spreadsheets to identify and improve upon gaps in knowledge, while avoiding wasting precious study time on their strengths. She believes in helping learners study efficiently, rather than tirelessly. Above all, she prioritizes positive reinforcement and gentle guidance. She is pursuing academic internal medicine because she is passionate about educating and mentoring the next generation of physicians on a broad range of medical topics. In her free time she enjoys running, cooking, and dancing salsa!

Emma’s tutoring style could be best described as loving and encouraging. Her gift is the ability to make complex concepts incredibly simple through the use of analogy, visual mapping and integration with other material that the student does know well. As she has been teaching both USMLE steps since 2002 she knows that one student may need a slightly different explanation than another and at this point in her career she has explained everything at least fifty ways; there will always be the right way to guide each student to his or her "aha!" moment. This is done with humor and clever ways to memorize the parts that do need memorization. She is also adept at discerning the unique learning style of a student and how to match her tutoring to maximize the gain from each session. The biggest lesson she learned in her medical career was that it is OK to not know the answer to a question; it is always OK to look things up or ask someone more experienced, in fact it is better that way! Emma approaches medical knowledge like a precious jewel her students will carry with them forever and use to help others. Her investment in each student is passionate and truthful, and she truly creates a strong supportive relationship that helps with the stress of studying for exams. Students say that years later they remember useful things they learned from working with her. Emma will help ensure that you are working at your peak not only so you can achieve your best score on the exams but also move through your career with confidence and pride.

much-needed recharging (not just of your electronic devices—most importantly of yourself)! One of her great passions is mentoring and
