What You Get From Tutoring

The BlueprintSystems I teach in sessions

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.

What To Expect In Sessions

The Real Work We Do

Every system below shows up across our sessions. Not all in week one. We layer them as your data tells us what you need.

Who I Work With

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 help you apply your knowledge to practice questions and make a clear study plan.

Retakers, this was built around you. Section 09 (Retaker Failure Audit) is usually where we start.

What This Is

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 with a clear purpose, 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.

What This Is Not

  • A question bank. Use your chosen Qbank for practice and reserve current, unseen official self-assessments for evaluating progress.
  • A flashcard deck. AnKing.
  • A video series. Boards and Beyond, or Mehlman audio if you're grinding on a walk.
  • A guaranteed result or a fixed timeline. Your current assessment report, available time, and school requirements guide the plan.

How Sessions Are Structured

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.

A Word on Time

A useful system needs to fit your day. We account for rotations, work, caregiving, review time, and rest, then simplify the plan when the workload is too heavy.

Session Topics

What We Cover

1

Student Archetypes and Entry Points

Three distinct starting paths based on your baseline: strong foundation, weak foundation, or retaker. Each session plan is tailored to which one you are.

2

Phase-by-Phase Study Protocol

Four phases we move through: Diagnostic Reset, Foundation Rebuild, Integration and Pattern Recognition, Assessment-Driven Refinement. Each adapted to your available study hours.

3

QBank Protocol

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.

4

Wrong-Answer Diagnostic Framework

The diagnostic system we apply to every wrong answer so we fix the actual problem, not just pile on more content.

5

Test-Taking Mechanics

Stem reading, pacing for the current exam format, and a routine for flagging and returning to questions. We practice these skills and adjust them to your needs.

6

Assessment Schedule and Score Targets

Plan current self-assessments, review their official score reports, and discuss readiness evidence alongside school requirements.

7

Biostatistics and Behavioral Science

Practice interpreting study designs, diagnostic tests, and treatment effects. These topics require understanding and application, not a promise of easy points.

8

Anki Protocol

Rules for daily reviews, new card caps, when to deprioritize, and why AnKing is the move (not building your own deck).

9

Daily Schedules (3 variants)

Full-time dedicated, dedicated plus prep course, and part-time (rotations/working). Hour-by-hour, built around your actual life.

10

Red Flags and When to Delay

Review assessment evidence, school deadlines, eligibility, and costs before deciding whether a date change makes sense.
