“I am a former student of Michele. She helped me study for the PANCE exam for 6 months in 2021. Throughout that time, I had the opportunity to get to know Michele on a personal and professional level. She was beyond professional, did not miss any scheduled tutoring sessions, knew the material and provided me with a long- and short-term plan to pass the exam based on my knowledge and aspects I found challenging on the exam. She is caring and is genuinely invested in your success as if it was her own. She not only helped me gain content knowledge but significantly helped increase my self-confidence with test taking. She helped me create a personalized approach for preparing for the PANCE examination. Among all my teachers in my life, she has been the one that has made a significant impact on the person and practitioner that I have become. I highly recommend Michele, for any academic endeavors that you may need assistance overcoming.”
“I had signed up for Tutoring after failing my PANCE twice. At this point, I had tried everything I could on my own to pass the boards but realized I needed some guidance on how to approach questions and overall have someone to talk to about concepts. I was lucky enough to find Michele. She and I worked together for about 2.5 months twice a week. She catered our sessions to target certain topics I was weak on and taught me how to look at questions differently than I had in the past. More so, during the days and times we did not have a session, she would send me material and videos that helped me further my studying and get back to me quickly about questions I had. But what I seriously appreciated about Michele was she would always check in to see how I was doing and remind me to take time for myself. I, 100% believe I could not have passed without her help. When I found out I had passed, she was the first person outside my family to know. Based on the two previous scores, I saw I had improved my score by almost 100 points thanks to her. I am beyond grateful to have been paired with Michele; my only regret is not getting to her sooner.”
“The biggest takeaways I got from sessions with Michele were the accompanying handouts. She provided some sources and materials that helped supplement our discussions and if she was unsure of a topic or answer, she followed up with an email that provided an outside source that would present the information in a different tone that would help a student's mind "reset" and take it in from a fresh perspective. She also provided analysis of how to pick apart a question to help learn how to approach questions. We used UWorld which some say is the best for the PANCE and going through the questions with detail helped at the beginning.”
“What I personally found to be the most helpful was learning how to deconstruct the questions to guide my thought process. It helped me not jump to conclusions when I thought I knew the right answer. In addition, when I wasn't sure of a question it helped me narrow out the other choices to get the right answer. I also learned quality over quantity when doing questions. Slowing down and understanding went a long way for me. Michele is absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond to help me succeed! She is patient, kind, flexible but most importantly honest! She provided me with so many resources and I know I couldn't have done it without her! Highly recommend 💕”
“Michele has helped me so much in attaining my goals in aspiring to be a Physician Assistant. Her background in the field helped tremendously in strengthening my narratives, ensuring I was being clear and using language that would be impressive to the different admission committees. The mock interview prep questions not only built a sense of personal confidence going into the interviews, but also helped to guide me to responses that were both personalized and impressive. And finally, she helped me consider the key questions I needed to ask myself when choosing from the multiple schools that granted me admission. Overall, Michele clearly loves her students and watching them succeed. I would highly recommend her to any prospective PA students looking for extra help with the application and admission process to Physician Assistant school.”
“She goes above and beyond to ensure my success. She is extremely flexible and easy to reach. Michele Provides me with ample resources and pushes me to be confident and motivated. I cant imagine this study process without her.”
"Michele was able to provide me with the tools to become a better independent studier and use my time away from her more wisely. Some of the ways she did this included: Sharing useful online and personal resources, Explaining how to breakdown the vignettes/questions to better answer them, Assigning me with “homework” to review so we could discuss at next session in depth and I could “teach back” to her what I had learned, Michele was always easily accessible by text for questions/comments, She frequently kept me on track by asking how I was after a long weekend or giving me an interesting article on current events in medicine, She motivated me by keeping me accountable and giving me pep talks; when I didn’t want to study or felt like I could let up, she helped me to find confidence and strength to continue on, Inquiring about my emotional and mental health allowing me to look within and clear out unnecessary stress for clarity during the exam and management of anxiety/nerves. I cannot imagine having to take the PANCE without Michele’s help. She truly cares not just about the success of the exam, but about her students and their wellbeing, always having their best interests at heart. She is extremely intelligent, relatable, patient and compassionate. She accommodated me in every, way shape and form. Even after the exam is over, she will continue to be an important mentor and friend."

We used UWorld which some say is the best for the PANCE, and going through the questions with detail helped at the beginning."
"Michele is an exceptional tutor who not only helped me prepare academically for the PANCE, but also provided invaluable support in overcoming exam anxiety. Facing the PANCE for the second time, her personalized approach, insight, and unwavering commitment were crucial to my success. Michele recognized and addressed both academic and emotional aspects, creating a supportive environment that significantly boosted my confidence. Her tailored tutoring sessions focused on my specific areas of weakness, making a profound difference in my understanding and approach to exam questions. Beyond academics, Michele played a crucial role in keeping me accountable, providing constructive feedback and practical strategies for improvement. Her genuine focus on my success, constant reminders of the ultimate goal, and regular follow-ups showcased her unwavering dedication. In the end, I not only passed the PANCE, but also gained renewed confidence, all thanks to Michele's exceptional guidance. If you're looking for a tutor who goes beyond academics and addresses both mental and academic aspects of exam preparation, I highly recommend her – she is a guiding light through the challenges of PANCE preparation."
