Biggest piece of study advice for new students? 

Write down everything you learn in a peripheral brain that you can always come back to. Always test yourself, be curious, and ask questions.  

What is your favorite subject to tutor? 

My favorite subject is probably hematology/oncology since I want to go into that specialty.    

How has your experience as a peer tutor enhanced your understanding of the course material? 

Being a tutor is a win-win experience for me. I help others understand material while also getting a solid understanding of that same material for my knowledge and most importantly, the NAPLEX. 

Most rewarding aspect of being a tutor? 

The satisfaction of being able to help peers understand topics better.   

What do you do to decompress? 

Go for a run, take a nap, and/or go to the gym.

Tell us a fun fact about yourself! 

I was almost born in Japan!   

What motivated you to be a tutor? 

I used to tutor peers in high school and college. I would like to teach one day on top of working as a pharmacist. Being a tutor is a great way to practice this. 

What is your favorite place to study? 

The campus library! Especially with the new renovations. 


CAP is hiring tutors from the PharmD 2027 & 2028 cohorts!
