About Step 1 Tutoring
I'm Dr. Byskosh, but you can call me Nina. I'm a Northwestern MD graduate who has been tutoring for 10 years, including 3 years focused on the USMLE Step 1 exam.
I work with students who are stuck in their scores or on a narrow timeline. I help students achieve 10-25% increases in their scores over the course of several weeks. I developed a specific method for tutoring this exam that has been adapted to all of my students and helped them all pass (25+).

What My Students Say...

"Without Nina I don’t think I would have passed Step 1. It was a huge hurdle for me mentally and she was able to completely change my life and mindset. Step 1 is an all encompassing test so you need someone like Nina to decode the material and questions but also make sure you are taking care of yourself. Nina thoroughly enjoys working with students to tackle all of these aspects and I am very grateful for everything she did for me!"
-Josh H.
"Thanks to Nina, I was able to transform my way of studying for STEP 1 and was able to pass after having failed it before! I highly recommend her as her strategies are really effective."
- Uylae L.

"Nina was a fantastic source of knowledge for me during medical school! After months of seeing no progress on my NBMEs, it was through her help that I was able to pass Step 1. She provided me with support and helped me address my gaps all while maintaining a warm, welcoming, and approachable environment. "
- Ellie S.


"When I started tutoring with Nina, I hit the ground running. Her memory tools were funny, yet very effective. I saw an immediate improvement on my NBMEs and was able to pass Step 1 thanks to her help."
- Sahil S.
