I completed a post-baccalaureate Master of Arts in Medical Sciences program at Loyola University Chicago, finishing with a 3.76 GPA in coursework mirroring the first year of medical school, spanning subjects like biochemistry, immunology, and renal pathophysiology. My undergraduate degree is from Northern Illinois University, and I took the MCAT in June 2026, scoring a 508 (74th percentile). That means I don't just know the content the exam covers; I know what it feels like to prepare for and sit for it while working full time, which is the position most of my students are in.
Outside of coursework, I work as an EMT, so the anatomy and physiology I tutor isn't abstract to me. I've applied it on real calls in the field, and I'm NREMT certified, having recertified through their adaptive exam. If you're studying for your own EMT-Basic or NREMT exam, I've been through that test and that job, not just the textbook version of either one.
Teaching material, not just learning it, has been part of this path from the start. I'm currently tutoring a fellow MCAT student, working through his study plan and weak areas with him one-on-one. During MAMS, a study group of us relied on explaining difficult material out loud rather than just reviewing it silently, and in my biochemistry course I built a presentation and taught that material to the rest of the class. I did the same for embryology senior year of undergrad, standing in front of my classmates and walking them through it.
I tutor MCAT prep, general biology and chemistry, anatomy and physiology, and EMT/NREMT exam preparation, both online and in person. My goal isn't to walk through material like a textbook, but to connect it to how it's actually used, whether that's how a physiology concept shows up in a patient encounter or what an MCAT passage is really testing underneath the science. Message me with your goals, and I'm glad to talk through fit before we schedule anything.
