I have been in school and training as a professional student for over 12 years. I have mastered subjects from biostatistics to informatics and medicine. I have 13 years experience tutoring in mathematics and the sciences at the undergraduate college and doctoral/medical school level.

I aim to make all my learners experts in their content area of choice, confident in applying their knowledge to their exams and work, and comfortable in learning how to find new information, learn together with others and alone, and ask questions to grow their curiosity.

For learners preparing for exams, I am a holistic education coach and work with you to customize a learning plan tailored to your needs and barriers (physical, cognitive, or emotional) so that you can overcome your blocks to scoring highly on exams and passing with flying colors.

I offer a 15-30 complimentary minute consultation to discuss your learning goals, needs, and timeline and then offer customized packages of hourly or bulk sessions and homework/learning exercises between one on one classes. If you are interested in joining a small group at a small rate, please let me know and I will work with you and other students to coordinate times and reduce the fees

Extremely knowledgeable

Selma helped prepare me for a subject based physiology exam for medical school. Right off the bat, Selma jumped to a strict and rigorous schedule, for which I was grateful. The structure that she provided was something I welcomed and she was extremely knowledgeable. She provided clear instructions and explanations and I would recommend her as a tutor for anybody.

Selma is a great tutor for Step 3. Great attitude and she really knows her stuff. I would recommend her to anyone who needs assistance with Step 3 preparation.

Wonderful!

Very bright, insightful and knowledgeable. Fine communication skills too! I'm very happy with our budding working relationship! I'll eventually write more after working with Selma for more than this first session.

Amazing, smart, and helpful

Selma helped me with my a NBME shelf exam. She helped me rethink the way I go about questions and answers. Also, she is very knowledgeable on the subject matter. She taught me many different topics in a way that made sense and was not just pure memorization. She is reliable and easy to talk to! I would highly recommend!

Enthusiastic teacher, very patient!

Selma helped me study for my peds shelf exam and my score went up by 15 points thanks to her guidance. She went through content and pointed out different ways to approach questions. I appreciated her flexibility with scheduling lessons and think that she’s a knowledgeable tutor!

Selma is the best, she is very supportive and caring, I absolutely recommend her, she's very patient and makes sure her students understand the details of the study. She also has a great personality. I will take more lessons with her. Thank you Selma for your help :)

Awesome

Selma is an excellent tutor and very patient. She helped me in a scientific research paper which was based on human physiology. Selma made it simple and easy to understand. I had troubles in understanding the paper but Selma in a very short time helped me with the research paper that I was assigned. The best thing about her session was giving me ideas and different strategies on how to read papers and interpret them. She did not mind explaining me more than once or thought that I was stupid. She is knowledgeable and I will ask her for help in future.

Knowledgeable and has good teaching skills

She has a very nice teaching style that helps you learn concepts quickly. She has a good grasp of various subjects and while she is teaching she writes power points for review which help in memorization. The way she explains became much easier to understand.

Excellent Tutor

Selma provided individual and group tutoring for my physician assistant students and it significantly improved their knowledge and preparation for graduate medical physiology exams! She is very responsive to emails and feedback. Highly recommend!!
