For the past 2 years, I've tutored IMGs preparing for USMLE Step 1–3, COMLEX 1–3, CBSE, NBME shelf exams, and clerkship rotations and multiple of IMGs are currently doing their residency in United States in different programs like Internal Medicine, Family Medicine & Psychiatry. Here's what a session with me actually looks like: we cover a topic in depth, then I quiz you on it right away to lock in retention through active recall, not passive review. From there, we work through UWorld and NBME-style questions together, breaking down the reasoning behind each answer choice so you understand the why, not just the what. This is the same method that's helped students I've worked with pass Step 1/COMLEX Level 1 on their first attempt & get a good score in Step 2/COMLEX LEVEL 2. Every student learns differently, so I don't run a one-size-fits-all curriculum. I build a study plan around every student's specific timeline, target score, and weak areas, and adjust as we go based on what's actually working. What students consistently tell me matters most: clear explanations of complex topics, patience without judgment, and sessions that feel tailored rather than scripted. I brought that same standard to every subject and every level — whether student is just starting content review or deep into practice questions and need to close specific gaps.
