Welcome to a tutoring experience crafted not just for passing, but for distinction. In the high-stakes journey of medical board exams, true success requires more than rote memorization—it demands a strategic, adaptive, and deeply analytical approach. This is the philosophy at the heart of my service, designed to transform your challenges into a powerful, confident performance.

My name is Dr. Laurence Stolzenberg, DO, M.Sc., and I bring a unique fusion of elite medical achievement and advanced technical proficiency to your study regimen. This background allows me to not only teach the material but to teach you *how to learn it* efficiently, how to deconstruct high-yield questions, and how to strategically deploy your knowledge under pressure.

A Proven Track Record of Excellence

My own academic path is a testament to the principles I teach. I completed my Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) with every honor possible from my institution, including induction into the Sigma Sigma Phi honor society, the Gold Humanism Honor Society, and being recognized as the Student Researcher of my Class.

Elite Board Scores and Percentiles:

• USMLE Step 2 Clinical Knowledge (CK): Scored an exceptional 265 (94th percentile) in 2023.
• COMLEX Level 3: Earned a monumental 901 (Top 0.1%) in 2024.
• COMLEX Level 2-PE & CE: Achieved a score of 746 in 2023 (~97th percentile).
• USMLE Step 1 / COMLEX Level 1: Successfully passed on the first attempt.
• International Exams: 90th percentile on the NAC OSCE and 80th percentile+ on the MCCQE.

The Unconventional Edge: Computer Science and Strategy

What truly sets this service apart is the depth of my analytical training. Prior to medical school, I earned a Master of Science in Computer Science from McGill University and gained extensive experience as a Software Engineer.

This rigorous technical background is your secret weapon. It means your tutoring will focus on systems thinking, algorithmic problem-solving, and efficient data processing—the precise skills needed to conquer the pattern recognition required by today’s complex board exams. I don't just review facts; I help you build the mental architecture necessary to access information rapidly and correctly.

Insider Insight into Residency Success

Securing your dream residency is the ultimate goal. I successfully matched into my first-choice program in Academic Diagnostic Radiology. Furthermore, I have served on the Residency Interview Committee for my intern year program.

This experience grants me unparalleled insight into how applications are reviewed, what interviewers are truly looking for, and how your board scores—and the story behind them—are weighed. We won’t just study for the test; we will position you for the application process.

• Residency Application Review: Decoded the application process, including achieving a Top Quartile performance on the Casper exam.
• Interview Preparation: Practical advice derived from being on the *other side* of the interview table.

Dedicated to Every Student's Comeback

My commitment is deeply rooted in helping every student, regardless of their past struggles. I have successfully guided over 35 students to achieve their goals, including those facing the daunting challenge of multiple board exam attempts (2, 3, and even 4 attempts). We specialize in turning profound setbacks into decisive victories through tailored strategies, not generic advice.

A Personalized, Adaptive Approach & Cultural Connection

Every session is personalized to your unique learning style and knowledge gaps. We will not waste time on material you know. We will pinpoint your highest-yield weaknesses and transform them into strengths using proven cognitive techniques.

I am also fluent in French, and happy to tutor students who prefer instruction or conceptual clarification in la belle langue.
