What You Get From Tutoring
This isn't a PDF you download and figure out alone. It's the framework I build with each student over our sessions: how we diagnose what's broken, how we fix it, how we calibrate week by week until your score reflects your actual capability.
No pitch. We look at your data and tell you what's actually wrong.
What To Expect In Sessions
Every system below shows up across our sessions. Not all in week one. We layer them as your data tells us what you need.
You've already done a lap. UWorld, done. Pathoma, watched. First Aid sitting there with half the margins filled in. And your NBME score still isn't where it needs to be, or you're three weeks out and plateaued, or you failed once and attempt two is a completely different animal.
If you're an M2 starting dedicated for the first time, the same systems work. We pair them with whatever content resource you're using. I don't teach medicine in sessions. I teach the system that turns medicine into a passing score.
Retakers, this was built around you. Section 09 (Retaker Failure Audit) is usually where we start.
A study operating system. Eleven systems, walked through over 8 to 10 hours of 1:1 sessions, then reinforced and recalibrated across the rest of your dedicated period.
Not a content review. Doesn't replace First Aid, Pathoma, Boards and Beyond, or UWorld. What I teach is how to use those resources without half-assing them, and how to tell the difference between "I didn't know this" and "I knew it and still got it wrong." Those two problems have completely different fixes.
In sequence at the start, then on demand as your data dictates.
Session 1. Diagnostic audit. We look at your question bank performance, NBME scores, study log, schedule. I tell you exactly where the score is leaking and we agree on a plan.
Sessions 2 through 6.We work through the systems below, starting with whichever has the highest point yield for your specific gaps. Wrong Answer Journal gets reviewed every session. Schedule gets adjusted based on what's actually happening.
Final two weeks.Taper protocol. Last NBME timing. Test day mechanics. We dial in pacing, anxiety management, and the flag-and-move system until it's automatic.
You'll want to skip parts of the work to save time. That instinct is what got you here. The tools we use take 10 to 20 minutes a day to run. If you can't find those minutes, the problem isn't the system. It's your schedule. We fix that in session 2.
Session Topics
Three distinct starting paths based on your baseline: strong foundation, weak foundation, or retaker. Each session plan is tailored to which one you are.
Four phases we move through: Diagnostic Reset, Foundation Rebuild, Integration and Pattern Recognition, Assessment-Driven Refinement. Each with daily hour-by-hour schedules.
How we use UWorld and AMBOSS in your prep: when to do system-based vs random mode, how many questions per day, and the Wrong Answer Journal system we work on every week.
The diagnostic system we apply to every wrong answer so we fix the actual problem, not just pile on more content.
The stem-reading protocol, pacing strategy (40 questions in 50 minutes), anxiety management, and the flag-and-move system. We drill these in sessions until they're automatic.
Exactly when you'll take each NBME, UWSA1, UWSA2, and Free 120. Clear pass/fail thresholds for scheduling your exam.
The 'free points' protocol: everything to memorize for the most predictable 10-15% of the exam. We build this into your daily review.
Rules for daily reviews, new card caps, when to deprioritize, and why AnKing is the move (not building your own deck).
Full-time dedicated, dedicated plus prep course, and part-time (rotations/working). Hour-by-hour, built around your actual life.
Clear criteria for when pushing the exam is the right call. Delaying with a plan beats a second failure every time.
