"I'm an MD/PhD candidate at Yale University, training to become a physician-scientist in immunology. Over the last several years, I've garnered experience as a leading MCAT and admissions coach on platforms such as Wyzant, and my coaching program has fundamentally changed the way many students approach the MCAT and the admissions process.

Going through the pre-med process is often arduous and anxiety-provoking and preparing for high-stakes examinations like the MCAT is no exception. During my time at Cornell, I began my career in teaching through K-12 volunteering programs in Ithaca. I would go on to teach standardized test prep to middle-school and high-school students at prestigious programs like Choate Rosemary Hall. After several years of MCAT coaching locally at Cornell and Yale, I built my online coaching presence through Wyzant, through which I have helped hundreds of students achieve their MCAT and admissions dreams.

I scored in the 99th percentile in the MCAT, but what sets me apart is my motivation to adapt and invest in the needs of each one of my students. I develop tailored study plans for each student, guided by their performance on my diagnostic materials and introductory lessons. From there, I build problem-solving skills through guided and timed passage work, alongside teaching section-specific strategies to help students streamline through the smoke and mirrors of the MCAT. Be it acing your first attempt or trying to show improvement on a subsequent attempt, know that I’m prepared for, and committed to, helping you reach your goals.

With my admissions committee experience, I also prepare students to deliver a compelling narrative and application to medical and graduate schools. As a creative writer, I work extensively to help students craft essays in an authentic voice in context of their personal journeys. In interview preparation, I pay close attention to the structure, substance, and delivery of students' responses, preparing them for both MMI and traditional interviews." less...
