With 9 years of experience, 2000+ tutoring hours, and a track record of coaching over 350 clients, I have developed a specialized approach to academic mentorship that goes beyond traditional tutoring. My goal is to bridge the gap between high-level concepts and the practical strategies students need to excel in competitive environments.

My background is built on a commitment to excellence. I graduated from UCLA with a 4.0 GPA in Psychobiology, achieving a 100th percentile score on the ACT and a 97th percentile on the MCAT. As a current medical student on a merit scholarship at the University of Chicago and researcher, having conducted work at UCSF, UCLA, and Harvard, I understand exactly what top-tier programs are looking for. I don’t just teach students how to pass an exam; I teach them how to think like the researchers, clinicians, and students they aspire to be.

Having authored full AP Chemistry and AP Biology curricula for educational organizations, I have a deep understanding of how to structure complex information. My expertise spans the core sciences—Biology, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Organic Chemistry, Physics, Microbiology, Physiology—as well as advanced mathematics, English, and standardized test prep (SAT/ACT/MCAT).

Beyond the classroom, I serve as a strategic consultant for students aiming for elite undergraduate and medical school programs. I help my clients navigate the nuances of the application process, from crafting compelling personal statements to building a cohesive narrative that stands out to admissions committees.

I believe that every student is capable of mastering difficult material if it is presented with clarity and purpose. My sessions are intensive yet engaging, focused on building the confidence and technical proficiency required to reach the highest academic tiers. Whether you are struggling with foundational biochemistry or looking to polish a medical school application, I provide the roadmap and the accountability needed to succeed.

Approved Subjects

ACT Science

ACT Science

Achieving a perfect 36 on the ACT Science section and a 100th percentile overall ACT score, I bring proven testing mastery to coaching students on high-stakes standardized exams. As a current University of Chicago medical student with a 4.0 GPA from UCLA and 9+ years of tutoring experience, I specialize in decoding the specific passage structures, data trends, and experimental setups unique to the ACT. Drawing on my extensive background as a scientific researcher at Harvard, UCLA, and UCSF, I teach students how to rapidly interpret graphs, isolate variables, and eliminate trap choices under strict time constraints. I focus on actionable timing strategies and scientific intuition, empowering students to execute with precision and achieve top-tier score gains.
Biochemistry

Biochemistry

As one of the highest scorer in Biochemistry at UCLA, a 4.0 Psychobiology graduate, and a 97th percentile MCAT scorer, I bring proven academic mastery to tutoring Biochemistry as a current University of Chicago medical student. Over 9 years and 2,000+ hours of mentorship, I have authored comprehensive science curricula and guided hundreds of pre-med students through complex metabolic pathways, molecular mechanisms, and exam strategies. My background in high-level medical research at Harvard, UCLA, and UCSF enables me to translate dense, abstract biochemical concepts into clear, actionable problem-solving frameworks. I focus on building true technical proficiency and scientific intuition, empowering students to master advanced coursework and excel on high-stakes exams.
Biology

Biology

With a 4.0 GPA in Psychobiology from UCLA, a 97th percentile MCAT, and as a current University of Chicago medical student, I bring deep academic mastery to tutoring Biology. Having authored complete AP Biology curricula and mentored students across 9+ years and 2,000+ hours, I specialize in breaking down cellular biology, genetics, physiology, and complex biological systems into intuitive, bite-sized concepts. My extensive research background at Harvard, UCLA, and UCSF enables me to bridge theoretical biological principles with real-world scientific inquiry and clinical application. I focus on building technical proficiency and analytical intuition, empowering students to master advanced coursework and excel on high-stakes exams.
Chemistry

Chemistry

As a current University of Chicago medical student with a 4.0 GPA from UCLA and a 97th percentile MCAT, I bring top-tier academic rigor to tutoring General and Organic Chemistry. Having authored complete AP Chemistry curricula and coached students across 9+ years and 2,000+ hours, I excel at simplifying abstract topics—from thermodynamics and stoichiometry to complex reaction mechanisms. My extensive background in scientific research at Harvard, UCLA, and UCSF enables me to bridge fundamental chemical laws with real-world laboratory and clinical applications. I focus on developing technical proficiency and step-by-step problem-solving strategies, empowering students to master advanced coursework and high-stakes exams.
Genetics

Genetics

I have a strong foundation in genetics through my medical training and undergraduate science coursework, including molecular genetics, inheritance patterns, gene expression, and genetic disease mechanisms. I am comfortable helping students understand topics such as Mendelian genetics, pedigrees, DNA replication, transcription and translation, mutations, chromosomal abnormalities, and population genetics. My experience as a medical student allows me to connect genetics concepts to real clinical examples, making the material easier to understand and remember. I focus on breaking down complex ideas step by step and helping students build confidence with both conceptual questions and problem-solving.
MCAT

MCAT

I am a 97% MCAT scorer. Over the past few years, I have successfully guided pre-med students through the rigorous MCAT preparation process by breaking down high-yield concepts across all four sections of the exam. My approach focuses on mastering complex scientific mechanisms, particularly in biochemistry, biology, and chemistry, while simultaneously sharpening critical reasoning skills for the CARS section. By analyzing individual practice data, I pinpoint specific content gaps and strategy errors to help students build endurance and approach passage-based questions with absolute confidence. I specialize in turning overwhelming amounts of study material into structured, actionable study plans that consistently yield significant score improvements.
Neuroscience

Neuroscience

I have a strong foundation in neuroscience through my medical training and prior coursework in biology, physiology, and neuroanatomy. I am comfortable helping students with topics such as neuronal signaling, synaptic transmission, brain and spinal cord anatomy, sensory and motor pathways, neurodevelopment, and neurological disease mechanisms. My medical background allows me to connect neuroscience concepts to clinical examples, which can make difficult material easier to understand and remember. I focus on breaking complex pathways and mechanisms into clear, step-by-step explanations tailored to each student’s level.
