"Hey all, my name is JiMin. I am a graduate of Columbia University currently finishing medical school at Georgetown University. I am available to tutor for the MCAT, college and high school level biology, and medical school preclinical curriculums, as well as providing admissions counseling for those applying to medical school.

I have taught subjects ranging from molecular biology to human anatomy, and have worked as a teaching assistant for the Columbia Introductory Biology course, described as "the most theoretically rigorous introductory biology course in the country" by the Journal of Global Health. I have both lectured and worked one on one with students, with a focus on developing a deep conceptual understanding of the concepts that underlie the systems that drive our bodies. Much of my instruction also consists of test-taking approaches, such as scanning complicated passages for relevant information and understanding which concepts a question is trying to pull - as you probably have already realized, the hardest part of many questions is figuring out what exactly it's asking.

I received a 526 (100th percentile) on the MCAT in January 2019, on my first try and without the assistance of any of the big prep classes. I credit this not to any secret knowledge or inborn memorization ability, but to the ability to create and apply effective conceptual frameworks to the vast amount of material. I would love to share the skills I have developed during my years of schooling with you and help you achieve your academic goals." less...
