Hello! I graduated from Bowdoin College (Chemistry major with Neuroscience concentration) in 2019 and completed medical school at Duke University School of Medicine. I am now an incoming emergency medicine resident at Emory.

While in college, I was an individual tutor for three years in chemistry, biology, economics, and statistics. I also worked as a teaching assistant for several chemistry and neuroscience courses. Since then, I have been working as an MCAT and STEM tutor for over 6 additional years.
My favorite part of tutoring is getting to know students and figuring out the specific techniques that work best for them. Everyone learns differently and it is important to tailor your study plan to what works for you.

I now work primarily as an MCAT tutor. I completely self-studied for the MCAT and was able to score a 520 (98th percentile) with a 130 in each subsection. Based on my experience studying, I have developed a highly effective and efficient study plan for busy premeds to help them succeed. My strengths as an MCAT tutor include personalized study plans, helping students build both solid concept foundations along with test-taking strategies, and knowledge regarding the most effective resources to use. I would love to help you reach your dream MCAT score!

I am also happy to help anyone applying to medical school with application advice/guidance. I had a very successful application with acceptances at multiple top schools, and I believe I can help you achieve your medical school dreams through personal statement editing, activity advice, school list building, and more.

If you are interested in any of these services, feel free to reach out! We can then discuss rates/plans and set up a session!

Approved Subjects

ACT Reading

ACT Reading

Whenever I took the ACT, I was able to score a 36 on the reading section after self-studying.
EMT/ NREMT

EMT/ NREMT

I have been an EMT, search and rescue technician, firefighter, and now emergency medicine doctor. I have helped many people study for their NREMT exam. This exam is very doable but often tougher than expected. I am happy to help students learn effective ways to study for this important step in their EMS or medical career!
MCAT

MCAT

I was able to score a 520 (98th Percentile) with a 130 subscore in each section of the MCAT after following a self-study plan that I created. I now want to help others do the same for much less than the big-name test prep companies charge. I believe that creating a study schedule that works for you and utilizes many free resources can allow students to both succeed and save money. I am a recent graduate from Duke School of Medicine and now an emergency medicine resident.
USMLE

USMLE

I recently took both USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 and passed both exams. I have been working as a tutor for many years largely as an MCAT tutor, and I would love to help set people up for success on these exams as well.

Productive and Encouraging MCAT Tutor

Taylor was extremely helpful in helping me build my MCAT study plan for the months leading up to the exam. She knew all the best resources and the ideal timeline to use them, which allowed me to feel as prepared as possible for test day. Taylor is also very knowledgeable in all the MCAT subjects and helped me improve my CARS score through her advice and strategies. In addition, Taylor was very encouraging and always gave me good advice on how to view and overcome hurdles in my studying. After achieving my dream score on the exam, Taylor helped me build my medical school application list and gave me advice on the application process. I highly recommend Taylor as a tutor for anyone who needs a really strong MCAT study plan, advice/strategies/content for each MCAT section, and even for support through the studying process.

Knowledgeable and caring tutor

We spent some time setting up a study plan and plan of attack as I approach my test date. Taylor has been great at helping me better grasp more difficult concepts that I have been struggling with. She has been extremely helpful with providing me study resources, tricks and mnemonics. I know that my score will be higher because of her help, compared to what it would have been if I had continued trying to learn all of the material by myself. Could not recommend more.

Knowledgable about Various Aspects of the Application and MCAT

Taylor is an amazing tutor and person! She truly cares about the people she is meeting with. Her meetings are not only casual and comfortable, but also informational and productive at the same time. She helped me see my weaknesses and adapt to different ways I can overcome multiple changes I am facing not only with the MCAT, but also with the application process to medical school in general. Taylor is the perfect person for people who want to take control of their studying and optimize the time they have. Her honesty speaks volumes without the harshness of being blunt or mean. She has impacted my life in a positive way and I will always be grateful for that. :)

Knowledgeable and caring tutor!

Taylor has been so helpful in preparing me for my MCAT. She created a detailed study schedule for me to follow and has provided me with the best resources I need to succeed on test day. I've had 3 meetings with Taylor so far and each time we talk I feel more confident in my MCAT prep. I would highly recommend Taylor if you are looking for someone that cares about your success and sets you up to do well.

Knowledgeable and prepared tutor

I would highly recommend Taylor to anyone looking for an MCAT tutor. She helped me form a plan of action for studying the MCAT and went over the best resources to use. Additionally, Taylor provided insight on medical school applications. She is extremely knowledgeable about both subjects and is able to explain material in a comprehensive way.
