Hi, I'm Cassie, a future physician with a full scholarship at Kaiser Permanente's School of Medicine in Los Angeles. My journey to medical school was anything but conventional—I decided to apply five years after completing my undergraduate degree, without any close friends or family who had gone through the process, and without having finished all my prerequisites. I remember feeling overwhelmed and alone in the process. Now, I find immense joy in helping students successfully navigate the various steps of the medical school application process.

Overwhelmed by the amount of content? Frustrated by a lack of improvement in scores? Whether it's your first attempt or a retake, I can help with:
- A personalized study plan tackling your strengths and weaknesses
- Selection of high-yield resources
- Strategy and timing
- Explanation of challenging topics
- Accountability measures
- Maintaining calm and focus during the test

**MD Application Help**
Unsure of how to make your unique story shine through in your application? I can help you:
- Choose a topic for your personal statement

- Ask for letters of recommendation
- Write an excellent work/activities section
- Answer any little questions you may have that come up

Why choose me?
I fell in love with tutoring in undergrad at Tufts University, and now have over 10 years of experience working with students of all ages and backgrounds. With a B.S. in Neuroscience, I am deeply passionate about using my understanding of the brain to enhance student learning and wellness. My love for seeing students thrive has led me to various teaching roles, including working with neurodiverse students at Lindamood-Bell Learning Processes and teaching for Kaplan.

MCAT

After graduating from Tufts with a degree in Neuroscience in 2018, I worked in research for a neurotech start-up in Silicon Valley. A few years out, I decided I wanted to go to med school and self-studied for the MCAT. By applying what I know about how the brain learns best, I managed to score in the 92nd percentile. Now, I use my understanding of neuroscience to help students master high-yield content as quickly as possible so they can achieve their goal scores!

Really great at her job

We went over multiple different mcat concepts. She does an excellent job explaining what I need to know. She really structures her tutoring to the student. This has been very helpful as I study for the mcat.

Amazing Tutor that understands how YOU learn.

On my last MCAT I scored a 496, with not having much direction and the materials were not sticking the way it should. However after tutoring with Cassie I received a 501, which allows me to matriculate into OSU-COM class of 2027. Cassie taught me strategies, mnemonics that works and breaks all the MCAT material for anyone to understand for you to get the score you need! I would refer everyone to Cassie!

Knowledgeable and excellent tutor

Cassie is an excellent writing tutor. She helped me write my first doctoral research paper successfully. She is especially great with the APA style of writing. Cassie listened to me, understood my research topic, and helped me develop my paper according to the course requirements. Cassie is patient, flexible, knowledgeable, and committed to her role. In addition, she emailed me extra learning materials to review and advance my learning after sessions. I highly recommend Cassie.

Kind and understanding health coach

I have been struggling for years to lose some weight and fix my diet. I have tried many different diet and exercise programs but they were all too restrictive and none of them stuck. I had even tried talking to a couple of health coaches before but they were all too rigid and I wasn't able to stick with it. From our first lesson together, it was clear that Cassie was different than the other health coaches I tried. Instead of a generic intake procedure, she really worked to listen and understand how I have been feeling and all the different factors in my life that might be contributing to my issues. Then Cassie worked with me to establish clear goals that I can work towards to be healthier. For once I actually feel hopeful that I can lose the weight and feel better. If you are looking for an incredibly kind and non-judgmental coach, I would definitely recommend sessions with Cassie.
