Bio

Hi! I am currently a third-year medical student at the Medical College of Georgia and a graduate of Georgia Tech, where I studied biochemistry. My academic path has given me a strong foundation in the sciences as well as standardized test preparation. I scored a 516 on the MCAT, passed USMLE Step 1 on my first attempt, and earned a 250 on Step 2.

Hi! I am currently a third-year medical student at the Medical College of Georgia and a graduate of Georgia Tech, where I studied biochemistry. My academic path has given me a strong foundation in the sciences as well as standardized test preparation. I scored a 516 on the MCAT, passed USMLE Step 1 on my first attempt, and earned a 250 on Step 2. Through this experience, I have developed effective strategies not only for mastering content but also for approaching high-stakes exams with confidence and efficiency.

I have experience helping peers and younger students understand challenging concepts, particularly in biochemistry, physiology, and general pre-med coursework. My teaching style focuses on simplifying complex topics, identifying high-yield material, and tailoring explanations to each student’s learning style. I emphasize pattern recognition, test-taking strategy, and building a strong conceptual framework rather than rote memorization. Whether working through practice questions or reviewing foundational material, I aim to make sessions interactive and practical.

I am especially interested in working with students preparing for the MCAT or early medical school exams, as I understand how overwhelming these processes can feel. My goal is to help students not only improve their scores but also feel more confident in their abilities. I strive to create a supportive and structured learning environment where students can ask questions freely and build lasting understanding.

Approved Subjects

MCAT

MCAT

I scored a 516 on the MCAT (92nd percentile), with a 99th percentile score in Chemical and Physical Foundations and a 97th percentile in Psychological and Social Foundations. My background in biochemistry from Georgia Tech and current medical training allow me to teach both foundational concepts and high-yield test strategies effectively. I focus on helping students master problem-solving approaches for difficult sections like Chem/Phys while also improving retention for content-heavy areas. I work with students to build efficient study plans, break down complex topics, and maximize score improvement.
Pharmacology

Pharmacology

I am a third-year medical student with a strong foundation in pharmacology from both my undergraduate biochemistry training at Georgia Tech and medical school coursework. I have successfully passed USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 CK, both of which require a deep understanding of pharmacology concepts and mechanisms. Through my studies, I have developed effective strategies for mastering drug classes, mechanisms of action, and high-yield exam content. I focus on helping students simplify complex topics and retain information efficiently for exams like the MCAT and USMLE.
