"I am a senior biomedical engineering student with a strong academic background in the biological and physical sciences and a long-standing interest in teaching. My coursework has included advanced biology, biochemistry, general and organic chemistry, and physics, and I have applied this foundation extensively through clinical research and data-driven projects in hospital and laboratory settings. I earned a 524 on the MCAT, with particular strengths in Biology/Biochemistry and Physics, which reflects both content mastery and disciplined test strategy. My academic training emphasizes problem-solving, systems thinking, and translating complex material into clear, usable frameworks—skills that directly inform how I tutor.

I have experience tutoring students one-on-one in both college-level science courses and standardized test preparation. My tutoring has primarily involved high school and college-aged students, including pre-medical students preparing for the MCAT. I focus on individualized instruction rather than rote review, identifying knowledge gaps, misconceptions, and strategy weaknesses before building a structured plan. Sessions typically combine content clarification, guided practice, and active questioning to ensure students can explain concepts back in their own words. I emphasize test-taking strategy, passage analysis, and pattern recognition alongside core science principles.

My teaching approach is patient, structured, and adaptive. I aim to make intimidating material approachable by grounding abstract concepts in intuition and real examples, while also holding students to a high standard of understanding. I believe effective tutoring is not just about improving scores, but about building confidence, independence, and durable learning habits. This philosophy has consistently helped students feel more capable and engaged, particularly in challenging science subjects and high-stakes exam preparation." less...
