"I graduated with a 3.9 GPA in Biochemistry, and my academic journey has been defined by both depth and breadth in the sciences. My research background spans analytical chemistry, microbiology, and molecular biology, experiences that sharpened my ability to think critically and communicate science clearly. One of my best skills is reading scientific literature, much of which can be directly applied to the MCAT. I have been recognized as my college’s Biochemistry Major of the Year Award recipient twice, and I scored in the 91st percentile on the MCAT with a 515, reflecting both mastery of content and the ability to perform under pressure.

My tutoring experience began with helping classmates in my science courses, which quickly revealed how much I enjoy breaking down challenging material into digestible steps. I approach tutoring with both precision and patience — my “nerdy” side loves diving into the details of biochemical pathways or problem-solving strategies, but I also focus on developing the big-picture understanding that leads to long-term success. I believe that concepts stick best when they are connected to something meaningful, whether through analogy, practice problems, or visual explanations. Furthermore, I believe that an understanding of the biochemistry and biology behind learning can dramatically increase one's potential to learn when applied.

Ultimately, what sets my tutoring apart is my holistic approach. As a collegiate golfer, I spent years studying performance — mindset, focus, resilience — and I apply these same principles in academics. Understanding content is essential, but equally important is learning how to perform at your best when it matters most: during tests, labs, and high-stakes moments. My goal is not only to help students master the material but also to equip them with strategies that build confidence, consistency, and a deeper appreciation for learning itself." less...
