I am happy to help all levels of biology students.

I scored in the 99th percentile on the MCAT and understand the exam well. The MCAT uses various question pathologies that when identified can help improve your score beyond fundamental science knowledge. As mentioned above, I used various studying techniques while preparing for the MCAT, and after tutoring the MCAT these past few years, I have developed a studying schedule and found preparation strategies that works for my students to improve their scores and enjoyment of the process. I spent a long time studying and understand the burn-out and other studying pitfalls one can fall in during the preparation. As a tutor, I am here to help both comprehension of the material and help in studying habits and li" less...
