Ari
Certified Tutor
I'm Ari, a third-year medical student on a research year. I have tutored for Varsity since 2016, and have helped over 70 students succeed on the MCAT and USMLE Step 1! I have a passion for teaching and helping make science clear.
I scored in the 97th percentile on both the MCAT and USMLE Step 1, and have an extensive understanding of how to excel at the "game" of standardized tests.
My teaching style is individualized and student-oriented: I will tailor lectures to your specific learning methods. I'm a very visual learner myself, so I like to use images, real-world examples, and animations to ensure that you will truly UNDERSTAND the rationale for each step of the problem-solving method.
MCAT sessions will emphasize practice with real AAMC passages as well as reviewing concepts. I will teach you tips, tricks, strategies, and patterns to watch out for that I have combed years of AAMC material to find.
Step 1 sessions are tailored with NBME-style clinical vignettes, with a focus on high-yield concepts and classic patient presentations.
