My name is Tomas, but I also go by TJ. I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Biochemistry and a minor in Japanese Studies from Occidental College, Los Angeles, CA, with a GPA of 3.76. During college, I developed a deep understanding of Biology, Chemistry, and scientific problem-solving, while also cultivating conversational Japanese and translation skills. I scored 511 on the MCAT and am eager to help students prepare for this exam, along with AP-level courses and foundational science subjects.
My tutoring approach is interactive, structured, and tailored to each student’s learning style. I focus on building understanding, confidence, and effective study habits. I provide clear explanations, step-by-step guidance, and practical strategies so students can succeed in exams and long-term learning.
I have direct tutoring experience with high school students in AP Biology and Chemistry through Study Hut, where I helped students grasp challenging concepts, improve test performance, and develop study skills. Additionally, I have experience mentoring youth as a baseball coach and Eagle Scout leader, and I volunteer as a Japanese translator, helping learners navigate cross-cultural communication.
I am committed to making learning engaging, supportive, and effective. I welcome any resources or input from students or parents and am always happy to provide fast responses. Feel free to contact me to schedule a lesson or discuss your academic goals!
