My Advising Philosophy
As a fellow student, I know how expensive the pre-med journey can get — I’ve been there.
Big tutoring companies often charge up to $11,000 for support, then take more than half of that
money while paying the actual tutors a fraction.
I wanted to offer something better: expert help at a price that makes sense.
What you pay goes directly to me — the person working with you — not to a company.
I do this both because I love teaching, and because, like you, I’m a student trying to
make it through med school.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions you have about how my pricing works.
Financial Need
I get it. Tutoring is expensive, and not everyone can pay the going rate. If you have financial need, contact me and we can work something out. I’d rather you receive a service you can afford rather than avoid it due to cost. But if you can pay my normal rate, I respectfully ask that you do so.
