96th Percentile MCAT Tutor & Med School Admissions Consultant

Marissa G.

Hi, I’m Marissa-Skye! I’m a 96th percentile MCAT scorer with a B.S. in Psychobiology from UCLA, and a first year medical student. I specialize in MCAT tutoring and medical school admissions consulting, supporting students through both exam preparation and the application process.

I have over five years of experience in a translational research lab, focusing on experimental design, data analysis, and scientific manuscript writing. This background helps me teach students how to interpret data, analyze experiments, and apply knowledge to novel MCAT passages.

My tutoring journey began at 826LA and continued at UCLA as an Undergraduate Learning Assistant, where I helped students build both content mastery and critical thinking skills. For the MCAT, I focus on both content and its application through MCAT-style reasoning, along with test-taking strategy, timing, stamina, and learning to think like the test-maker.

I tailor sessions to your needs, whether that’s content review, AAMC-style practice, or building a structured study plan.

In addition to MCAT tutoring, I offer admissions consulting based on recent, firsthand experience navigating the application cycle. I was accepted to multiple U.S. MD programs and work with students on school list strategy, essays, and interview preparation. I emphasize storytelling refinement, helping you clearly articulate your journey and “why medicine” in a way that is authentic and cohesive.

I also help you build realistic timelines for MCAT prep and the application process, turning an overwhelming number of resources and moving parts into a clear, structured plan.

I am easy to reach and respond within 12 hours or less. I look forward to working with you!
