About Vanessa


Bio

Hi! I’m a UCLA Biology undergraduate with a 97th percentile MCAT score (520) and a perfect 36 on the ACT. Over the years, I’ve learned that standardized tests are less about content and much more about mastering test-taking skills. Timing, strategy, and test-specific practice often make the biggest difference and are my biggest focus when working with students!

Hi! I’m a UCLA Biology undergraduate with a 97th percentile MCAT score (520) and a perfect 36 on the ACT. Over the years, I’ve learned that standardized tests are less about content and much more about mastering test-taking skills. Timing, strategy, and test-specific practice often make the biggest difference and are my biggest focus when working with students!

I have two years of paid tutoring experience and four years of volunteer teaching, and in every setting I’ve seen how students thrive with the right strategies. I work one-on-one to identify weak spots, build efficient study schedules, and teach practical approaches to passages, questions, and timing.

I like to make sure my tutoring style is friendly, encouraging, and flexible. I want students to feel supported especially when studying becomes difficult! Sessions are virtual, and I provide personalized study plans, regular check-ins, and accountability along the way. Whether you’re aiming for a top percentile score or just want to discuss specific section, I’ll help you strengthen the skills that matter most for your goals.

MCAT

I scored in the 97th percentile on the MCAT with a 520 overall (130 Chem/Phys, 130 CARS, 129 Bio, 131 Psych/Soc). I self-studied using UWorld and AAMC materials, which helped me learn how to read passages efficiently, build mental endurance, and rely on strategy rather than memorization. By creating detailed spreadsheets and structured study plans, I was able to reach a 520 on my second full-length practice exam within a month. These experiences give me a strong foundation to guide students not just in content review, but in developing the study habits and test-taking skills essential for MCAT success.
