Medical Student @ Georgetown

Jerry L.

I graduated from the University of Wisconsin–Madison with a 4.0 GPA and a Bachelor of Science degree, and I will be matriculating at Georgetown University School of Medicine. My academic foundation includes strong performance on standardized exams, with a 1530 on the SAT and a 515 on the MCAT. Through my coursework in science and data-driven disciplines, I developed a structured approach to problem solving that I bring into tutoring, especially for exam preparation.

I have over three years of teaching experience as a peer mentor for an introductory data science course at the undergraduate level. In this role, I held five hours of weekly office hours and led a structured lab section for around 30 students each week. I worked closely with students of varying backgrounds and skill levels, helping them understand complex concepts through step-by-step explanations and practical examples. I also mentored students one-on-one, adapting my teaching style based on how each student learned best. Outside of formal teaching, I have worked with several high school students in SAT preparation, focusing on both content mastery and test-taking strategy.

My teaching approach centers on incremental learning. I break down complex problems into manageable steps so students can build confidence as they progress. I focus on helping students understand the “why” behind each concept rather than memorizing patterns, which is especially important for exams like the SAT and MCAT. Having worked with both high school and college students in classroom and one-on-one settings, I am comfortable tailoring my approach to different age groups and learning styles while maintaining a clear and structured path toward improvement.
