Who We Serve
Work With Us
Executive Functioning Support
LAS Medical Coaches™ are trained and skilled at helping students develop self-organization and self-regulation, among other executive functioning skills. They take the time to understand individual needs and provide support for practice and iteration.
Case Management
LAS case management is defined by communication and collaboration. It is one of many services that LAS Medical Coaches™ and Educational Coaches provide that differentiates LAS from conventional tutoring companies.
Clinical Social Work
LAS Founder, Loren Deutsch, is a licensed clinical social worker and professional educational therapist. She designed the LAS Medical Coaching™ Model with a system-based approach to learning and achievement. Therefore, all LAS Medical Coaches™ are trained in principles of clinical social work to better understand each student in context and ensure learning and achievement in measurable ways.
Support for ERAS
Writing a personal statement for residency and fellowship applications should not be an after thought. LAS Medical Coaches™ skillfully provide structure and support for personal essay writing.
Study Skills Counseling + Educational Therapy
The transition from undergraduate studies to medical school or medical school to residency often requires upgrading study skills. LAS Medical Coaches™ study strategies for prioritizing, learning, and retaining a lot of information in a highly compressed time frame. When more support is needed, LAS Medical Coaches™ provide Educational Therapy to address learning disabilities, neurological deficits, and personal well-being.
Accommodations, IEP’s + Section 504 Plans
Some medical and graduate students need a “level playing field” that includes accommodations, during their graduate and professional training. LAS Medical Coaches™ are skilled at consulting to schools, departments, and medical boards regarding individual learning needs and requests for accommodations. LAS Medical Coaches™ have expertise in designing strategies and techniques that work with accommodations to enhance learning and achievement.
LAS Medical Coaches™ provide structure, support, and accountability in measurable ways. They help students and residents prepare for high-stakes exams and provide support at the point of need for test preparation and remediation. LAS Medical Coaches™ design individual education plans with self-reflective strategies to address test anxiety, burnout, and procrastination.

Yes! There is a significant memorial benefit associated with recall practice and spaced repetition. In other words, when practice questions are used and re-used (with some parameters) test-takers will remember information more accurately and efficiently and achieve at higher levels. This phenomenon is referred to as the testing effect.
