"Hello! I’m a medical student at Washington University School of Medicine with a strong academic background spanning both the sciences and the humanities. I studied English at Yale, scored in the 99th percentile on the ACT, earned 5s on seven AP exams, and achieved a 98th percentile score on the MCAT. I’ve spent years working one-on-one with students in mentoring and tutoring settings, and I especially enjoy helping learners build confidence in biology, prepare for standardized exams (SAT, ACT, MCAT), and develop thoughtful, compelling college application essays. Having navigated these academic pathways myself, I understand both the content demands and the pressures students face along the way.

My tutoring approach is highly individualized and strategy-focused. I aim to make complex material feel manageable by emphasizing clarity, pattern recognition, and efficient problem-solving techniques, while also teaching students what high-scoring performance actually looks like. Whether we’re reviewing biology concepts, practicing test-taking strategies, or refining a personal statement, I tailor each session to the student’s goals and learning style. Above all, I strive to create a supportive, encouraging environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, building skills, and gaining confidence in their abilities." less...
