Hi, my name is Gavin Troy, and I’m currently a medical student at Indiana University School of Medicine, pursuing my Doctor of Medicine degree. I graduated from Wake Forest University with a Bachelor of Science in Biology with a GPA of 3.96 and inducted into Phi Beta Kappa honor society, and I’ve been deeply involved in both scientific research and peer tutoring throughout my academic career.

During my undergraduate years at Wake Forest, I worked as a peer tutor through the Interfraternity Council, supporting students in Biology, Chemistry, and MCAT preparation. I provided personalized, one-on-one academic support that helped students not only master difficult concepts but also develop study strategies tailored to their individual learning styles. My goal as a tutor has always been to boost both understanding and confidence.

My approach is highly student-centered and adaptable. I aim to break down complex ideas into manageable pieces, using clear explanations, active questioning, and real-world examples. I’ve tutored college-level students, but I also welcome the opportunity to work with high school students who are preparing for AP sciences, standardized tests, or early college coursework.

In addition to my academic work, I served as a research assistant at Wake Forest School of Medicine, where I conducted independent studies on infectious diseases and co-authored a publication on photochemical vaccine development.

Approved Subjects

Anatomy

Anatomy

As a medical student, I passed the human structure course that was embryology, anatomy, and histology. I helped my fellow classmates understand the difficult content. I know that there is a lot of memorization with the course, but I understand how to connect concepts together to make them easier to remember.
Biochemistry

Biochemistry

I took advanced biochemistry and lab section during my undergraduate education at Wake Forest University. Additionally, I take biochemistry at the graduate level in medical school. I have enjoyed the course and want to share my passion with others!
Biology

Biology

I graduated from Wake Forest University with a Bachelor's of Science in Biology. In my journey to medical school, I have taken several biology courses, ranging in a variety of topics. I am passionate about biology and want to help others by engaging in thoughtful discussions and explanations of the subjects.
Chemistry

Chemistry

I graduated from Wake Forest University with a minor in chemistry. I achieved top marks in all of my chemistry classes in my journey to medical school. I am very passionate about this subject and want to share my passion with others.
Genetics

Genetics

As a biology major at Wake Forest University, I took Bio235, which was the genetics course and scored an A in the class. As a medical student, I have learned at the undergraduate and graduate level for genetics. Additionally, I have taken the genetics course at the medical school level.
MCAT

MCAT

I successfully studied for and performed well on the MCAT, testing into the 91st percentile. I successfully found testing strategies that worked for me. Additionally, helped tutor and advise several others on the MCAT, seeing their individual performances improve as well.
Microbiology

Microbiology

As an undergraduate biology major, I took the microbiology course and lab on my way to my degree. In both the course and the lab, I achieved an A. I also work with this material in medical school.
Physiology

Physiology

As a medical school student, I have taken many classes that center around the anatomy and physiology of the human body. I understand and enjoy the relationship between the anatomy and physiology of movement. I know that it can be a lot of information to memorize, but I am able to break it down into more manageable chunks.
Psychology

Psychology

At Wake Forest University, I took several psychology courses out of passion for the subject outside of my biology major and chemistry minor. In addition to college classes, I studied psychology for the MCAT and admission into medical school. Now in medical school, I encounter psychology content throughout. my graduate education.

Amazing and patient Biology tutor

Gavin is a great tutor! He’s been helping me with Bio 5A, and he’s super chill, patient, and understanding. He really takes the time to make sure I understand the material instead of just going through it quickly. What I like most is how he asks questions that get me thinking and helps me truly understand the concepts, not just memorize them. He explains things clearly and never makes you feel rushed or confused. Overall, Gavin’s an awesome tutor who genuinely cares about helping you learn — I definitely recommend him!

Knowledgeable and patient

Gavin helped me review a homework assignment, tackled some practice questions, and walked me through core concepts, breaking it down for me to more easily digest the material. Really great tutor!

Patient and knowledgeable tutor

I was taught the basics through review which I needed to fully understand the concept. I was also reminded of helpful tips to improve my memory and ability for future exams.

Understanding and Helpful

Gavin is a great tutor for Chemistry. I am having a great experience with him. He teaches you with detail and makes sure you understand the concepts behind the topics. He breaks down difficult concepts step by step without skipping important reasoning. He focuses on why each step works, which made a huge difference in my understanding. Highly recommend Gavin as your Chemistry Tutor. Thank you Gavin!

My kid gets it!

We hired Gavin the night before my high school kid had a Biology test covering DNA replication. All I had heard were complaints about how the subject was stupid and why do we ever need to know this. Gavin turned this completely around. My kid said that Gavin explained the subject in a way that his teacher had not and that he actually understood. Beyond that, he was excited about what he had learned! He excitedly told me all about his lesson and explained why DNA replication is responsible for my aging and wrinkles:-). He also showed me TikTok videos that had to do with the subject. Thank you, Gavin! Not only did you teach him in a way that he understood, but you also made it relatable and interesting. That's a true gift. A session with Gavin is truly money well spent. We will be back!

Knowledgeable and efficient

Gavin is always punctual and has been very available for the semi-last-minute help I needed on my finals. He is very patient, and kindly goes over any concepts you don't understand even if they're relatively simple. He clearly has a strong grasp on biochemistry and can accommodate whatever pace you need to go at, whether it's quick review or detailed explanations. Thank you!

Knowledgeable and patient tutor!

Gavin T tutored my daughter Hope for her college biology final through Wyzant, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Hope said, “He’s really good at tutoring — 5 out of 5!” He knew everything she needed help with and explained concepts clearly and patiently. Thank you, Gavin, for helping her gain confidence and feel truly prepared for her exam. We appreciate your expertise and dedication!

Knowledgeable and Straightforward

I met with Gavin for one session to get some advice on preparing for my MCAT and it ended up being a really efficient and helpful use of time. He was straightforward from the start, clearly knew what he was talking about, and focused on giving me practical strategies rather than vague suggestions. In under an hour, he walked me through several useful tips for approaching different sections of the exam and broke things down in a way that was easy to follow without dragging anything out. He was relatable, encouraging, and direct, which made the session feel productive without any unnecessary filler. I walked away with clearer direction on how to structure my studying and what to prioritize. If you’re looking for concise, no-nonsense MCAT guidance, Gavin is definitely a solid resource.

Knowledgeable and Understanding Tutor

We went over my homework on polyatomic ions, including how to name them and write their formulas. We reviewed the main rules, the common charges, and how to handle transition metals. I understand much better now, and I am confident about my quiz tomorrow. I like how he asks questions about previous problems to see if you understood them or need further explanation.
