About Me

I am a doctor of physical therapy with a passion for helping others learn. On this platform, I tutor student physical therapists who are preparing to take the National Physical Therapy Examination. I started tutoring as an undergraduate at Skidmore College, where I earned my BA in Biology in 2017. I later tutored extensively at Wayne State University, where I earned my DPT in 2023. I assisted students in classes such as Basic Examination and Evaluation, Human Anatomy, Surface Anatomy, and Management of Orthopedic Patients. I also tutored students in need of remediation for their year-end comprehensive exams, which mimic the NPTE. I believe anyone who is capable of getting into a DPT program is capable of learning the material. In my experience, most SPTs who are struggling have only failed to modify their study strategies appropriately. This is an entirely treatable problem. While of course I will teach the material as needed, my focus as a tutor is in helping you figure out how you learn best. This is a combination of class attendance, note taking, study techniques, and test taking strategies. I believe in active learning whenever possible and utilize evidence based strategies such as spaced repetition. I am interactive with my students; for example, rather than lecturing at you, you tell me whatever you know on the subject and I help guide you to anything you may have missed. We then use that material for clinical correlations and decision making that so often come up on the NPTE. We will come up with study materials to use later on, make and answer practice questions, and practice different test taking techniques. I foster a shame-free environment and welcome mistakes as part of the learning process.
