I'm Nolan! I am an incoming Emergency Medicine resident at the Medical University of South Carolina! My academic journey includes graduating Magna Cum Laude with a 3.75 GPA in Biochemistry and Spanish from Iowa State. I then attended medical school at Marian University in Indianapolis where I achieved a 261 on Step 2 and a 653 on Comlex Level 2. I applied to both Emergency Medicine and Psychiatry programs across the country and secured 25+ interviews from prestigious programs. I would be honored to share my insights on excelling in medical school, clerkships, boards, and applying to residency.

Given my academic achievements, I'm enthusiastic about sharing my strategies with you. Whether it involves customizing lesson plans to your learning style, delving into specific topics, offering study tips, or helping with applications to residency or medical school, I'm here to help you achieve your goals.

In terms of tutoring experience, I spent the past year assisting a diverse range of medical students at my university, not only in various courses but also in developing effective study approaches. I helped with optimizing the abundance of resources, developing a manageable plan to succeed, and advising on how to craft your application for your residency of choice. Moreover, during my undergraduate and gap years before medical school, I tutored in Organic Chemistry I and II, Physics, and various levels of Spanish.

My motivation to tutor arises from having amazing advisors in my journey along with the joy I find in this work. I aim to pay it forward by making the path through learning, medicine, and life more manageable for you.

As someone who prioritizes a healthy work-life balance, I've learned how to work smarter, not harder and I would love to share that insight with you.

Don't hesitate to reach out with any questions or to schedule a lesson—I'm here to support you on your learning journey.

Amazing!

Amazing tutor! I met with Nolan before my midterm for my chemistry course and he was able to break down complicated material in a way that made it logical and understandable for me. He has an obvious understanding of what I was learning and was able to help me out greatly! I highly recommend reaching out to Nolan if you are struggling in a course. He's highly flexible in scheduling when he can meet with you, which made things much easier on my end. Great tutor!

Exceptional usmle test prep tutor

Nolan demonstrates dedication to his role as a tutor by preparing materials that cater to each student’s needs in an active learning style. His approach emphasizes questioning and recall exercises for homework and he is very good at identifingy and focusing on the concepts students struggle with, greatly helping their learning and growth.  It is rare to find a tutor who is not only passionate about teaching and tries best to optimize each tutoring session for maximum benefit. I am excited to continue learning from him as I prepare for the shelf exams.

Comlex 1 Prep Plan

Very grateful for Nolan's help with coming up with a study plan for COMLEX 1. He really took his time to discuss all the resources, their pros and cons. Also took time out to explain how to use ANKI efficiently, something that I have struggled with ever since the start of medical school. Look forward to more sessions!

Supportive and patient tutor

Nolan was incredible in helping me navigate realistic expectations for medical school interviews. He provided ample material, offered constructive critiques, and worked with me to improve my responses in a way that remained true to my story and background. My experience with Nolan has been invaluable in boosting my confidence to tackle a diverse range of prompts. Thank you, Nolan!

Help with my chemistry essay.

Nola helped me make some corrections on my essay and guided me on how to properly cite quotations within the body paragraph. Also, showed me how to google scholars where I can find reliable sources.

Friendly and knowledgeable

Nolan is passionate about learning/teaching and is very friendly and accessible. He put my young teenager at ease and turned a situation from "I don't want to do this" to "When can we do more?" Session was for biology and Spanish. Double thumbs up.

Makes it easy to understand

My son came home from school excited because he could actually follow along in biology class after a session with Nolan. My son describes him as nice, very smart and easy to understand!
