Johanna is a diligent, fun-loving, and enthusiastic tutor who excelled on her exams, in equal parts due to her passion for medicine and good old hard work. During her Step and Shelf examination studying, she learned the importance of conceptualizing rather than memorizing. She also realized the power of test strategy, which allowed her to succeed even in the face of difficult test questions. Johanna is excited to share her strategies with you, and help you form a solid content foundation.
At Johanna’s medical school, the first two years are structured so that the students act as teachers for one another. She grew incredibly from this experience and fell in love with teaching, resulting in an ambition for a career in medical education. There is no better feeling than the moment when a student’s expression changes, their face lights up, and you can just tell that they understand! She hopes to be a mentor to her students, inspiring them just as her mentors in medical school have inspired her.
You can count on Johanna to be invested in your success. She believes that collaboration is key, and partnership is necessary to ensure that this is a dynamic process with expedient correction of anything that might not be working for a particular student. She will work tirelessly on providing a strategically organized study schedule and will hold you accountable with honest feedback throughout your time together.
