I’m Edgar, a tutor with three years of experience working with college, pre-med, and adult students across both one-on-one and group settings. I hold an M.A. in Clinical Psychology and scored a 526 on the MCAT (100th percentile), and I’ve tutored students across different backgrounds and learning styles in STEM subjects including Chemistry, Biology, Physics, and Psychology.
My teaching philosophy centers on building genuine understanding. Rather than memorization shortcuts or test tricks, I focus on helping you become an independent problem-solver in your subject. I identify where your understanding breaks down and work from actual concepts upward. My background in clinical psychology informs how I approach this: I understand how people actually learn, where misconceptions tend to stick, and how to restructure explanations so they genuinely land. Sometimes that means you need to struggle a little with material to really own it, and I’m there to guide that process thoughtfully.
This works best when students show up engaged and ready to work. I come prepared with clear explanations and targeted strategies, and I bring both a passion for teaching and a genuine investment in your learning. If you’re willing to put in the effort, let’s make real progress together.
