M1 at WashU in St. Louis, Yale Biomedical Engineering, MCAT Tutor

Luanna S.

I recently graduated from Yale University with a B.S. in Biomedical Engineering. Most of my favorite classes have been taught by professors who are engaging and explain confusing concepts well. In turn, I try and apply this to my tutoring style. I explain concepts and give you practice problems to help you understand them instead of just memorizing them.

I took the MCAT during winter break and scored a 522 (99th percentile, full score C/P and B/B). I have been tutoring for 4+ years in many subjects including chemistry, physics, and math. I would love to help you succeed in whatever areas you need, whether that's a specific MCAT subsection or that one math problem you can't seem to figure out.

EXPERIENCE: I've tutored people of all ages from elementary school all the way through college in many different topics. I go through what you are struggling with, help you remember concepts, and go over commonly confusing ones.

My MCAT strategy is two-fold:
PERSONALIZED STUDY PLAN: I will tailor my approach to match YOUR needs. I've taken the MCAT recently and also have researched many of the practice exams out there. I will work on reviewing HIGH-YIELD content with you and share my tips and tricks for answering those annoying MCAT questions. I will also hold sessions where we will go over practice tests that you have completed problem by problem, giving me a chance to share my MCAT wisdom and help you to grow more confident and experienced.

EMPATHY: As someone who has recently gone through this studying process, I can fully empathize and understand the journey that you are about to embark on. Don't know where to even start? I can help guide you down the right path. Considering purchasing additional study materials? I can point you to the best ones for your money. The MCAT can be long and difficult, but I'm here to help make it just a little easier for you.

I'm always one text away and welcome any feedback on how to be a better peer tutor. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have questions!
