Your first hour with any tutor is always 100% refundable!

I scored in the 99% percentile on MCAT (2010) and served as an MCAT tutor for 3 years, including one summer as a Kaplan Summer Intensive Instructor.

I'm very passionate in my teaching and readily adapt. I teach through PowerPoint presentations with a heavy focus on working through practice problems with students. I avoid lecturing too much. My "experience" grows because I only keep the practice material and presentations that students found most helpful.

Aside from school and tutoring, I'm an avid runner and ran track and field in both high school and college. In high school I ran for Fayetteville-Manlius High School (Go Hornets!)

I also volunteer at the Univ. Michigan Hospital as a pianist in the patient waiting area.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

MCAT

At the Univ. of Rochester, I studied Chemistry and History. After taking the MCAT, I taught and tutored other students, and also worked for one year as a research in nanotechnology with applications for the treatment of heart disease at the Univ. of Michigan

I work primarily online. I prepare my own lectures based on the subject areas you tell me you need help with. I work primarily with materials by ExamKrackers as I believe it gives students the most directed and targeted practice.

College Counseling

I've been working with students for 1 year as a counselor. My responsibilities include editing personal statements, going through applications (both common and school specific)with students and contacting schools for follow up/scheduling interviews

Genetics

I have tutored at the college level for genetics.

I help you tackle long worded questions by drawing out phylogenetic trees for whole families, and then taking out the relevant information. We'll use this to construct Punnett squares to determine whether a trait is inherited by simple Mendelian genetics. I also will help you work out the mathematics of solving for two traits and the linkage between these traits.

Furthermore we'll work through RFLP maps to determine whether... Read More
