"I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Biochemistry from Washington University in St. Louis, where I completed a demanding science curriculum that closely aligns with MCAT content, including biology, general and organic chemistry, biochemistry, and physics. After graduating, I completed additional post-baccalaureate coursework while preparing for the MCAT, on which I earned a 515. My preparation required not only mastering the content, but also learning how to integrate concepts across sections, manage timing, and apply knowledge under exam conditions. This experience allows me to tutor MCAT students with an understanding of both the material and the realities of test day.

My teaching experience includes extensive one-on-one mentoring and academic coaching. I served as a residential advisor for two years, during which I regularly supported undergraduate pre-health students with coursework, study strategies, and exam preparation. I have also worked individually with MCAT and pre-med students to identify weak areas, rebuild foundational understanding, and improve passage-based reasoning. I focus on helping students recognize patterns in questions, avoid common traps, and think like the test writers rather than relying on memorization alone.

My tutoring approach is structured, practical, and adaptive. I emphasize active problem-solving, passage analysis, and concept reinforcement through explanation and application. Students are encouraged to verbalize their reasoning so we can refine their thought process in real time. My goal is to help MCAT students become confident, efficient test-takers who understand why answers are correct and can consistently apply that reasoning across new questions and sections." less...
