"Hello! My name is Gabriel. I graduated from a top public university summa cum laude with Bachelor's degrees in Microbiology and Philosophy, and with co-majors in Pre-Medical Studies and Neuroscience. With the daunting task of applying to medical school ahead of me, I needed to balance volunteering, research, and a social life with my academics and quickly learned the importance of time management. It was also apparent early on that I would improve my chances of succeeding by fostering an air of collaboration with those around me, rather than competition. Collaboration is also important in medical school and this culture is one of the reasons I am interested in helping others achieve their goals with confidence in their own skills. I have experience tutoring other pre-meds in core science classes as well as tutoring at a high school level as a volunteer in my community. In my sessions, we will engage actively in a dialogue about the material rather than a lecture, as it is important to interact with new knowledge actively in as many ways as possible. I will be sure we are also spending your time on exactly what you need to in order to achieve your goals, and if you aren't quite sure of where to start, send me a message and we can figure it out together!

As someone who studied Microbiology and Pre-med as an undergraduate, I was constantly exposed to new and difficult material in the life sciences. I was quickly forced to become familiar with lab techniques, both for classes and my own personal research, and learn how to read and interpret complex scientific journals. I graduated with a science GPA of 3.97. Additionally, I have about a year and a half of experience tutoring college peers and high school students in Chemistry and Biology, as well as consulting on scientific writing.

Coming from a native Spanish-speaking background has been a major source of experience with the Spanish language for me. I also understand how a typical Spanish class is structured, having taken 4 years of the language in high scho" less...
