I graduated from Washington University in St. Louis with a bachelor's degree in psychology: cognitive neuroscience in 2019, and I am currently a fourth-year Medical Student pursuing an M.D., and have matched into internal medicine residency starting this fall.

As someone who recently went through the medical school application process, I am actively seeking students who would like help with their personal statements, AMCAS activities, and secondary/supplemental essays. I assist students with every stage of the writing process including brainstorming, grammar checks, structural edits, word choice edits, etc. I help students get their ideas on paper in a way that is engaging and professional. I now have 3 years of experience with these essay prompts, and my past students have been very pleased with my approach. I am very happy to say that I helped many students get accepted to both U.S. MD and DO programs in past cycles. I also assist with other pre-professional application essays for veterinary school, dental school, law school, masters programs, PA school, CRNA programs, summer internship programs and more. Many of the same principles apply to essays for these programs, especially the personal statement.

I am happy to accept essay drafts via email, edit them independently, and return them to students within 24-48 hours. If the student is creating their first draft of an essay or needs to has out various ideas, we can discuss whether a video chat session is the better option.

In addition, I have completed USMLE Step 1/2 and each of the clerkship exams during the clinical phase of medical school. I looking for students who want assistance particularly for Step 2 and Shelf exams. (Tutoring for these subjects would be at a significant discount.)

In general, I like to match my tutoring methods to the learning style of the student. I value effective communication, and promise all of my students that I will respond to their questions/concerns in a timely manner.

Amazing tutor!

Nathan has been helping me with my medical school application, with my secondary essays. He is such a great tutor and he really listens and gets to know a student and the student's writing style. He is a really wonderful writer and made all of my essays more clear and concise and more exciting to read about. He also edits very quickly and is always helpful with any question that a student would have related to medical school and medical school applications. I highly recommend Nathan!

Extremely Helpful Edits

I first requested Nathan's edits for my Common App Essay. After receiving these edits back, I knew I would be sending him the rest of my college essays. His edits have been extremely helpful to my college essay process. He is able to formulate my words to flow nicely and sound much better than prior. He always adds suggestions that always end up making my essays stronger. I am very grateful for his help and will be continuing with him for the remainder of my essays!
