520+ MCAT Scorer & Passionate Tutor for ALL Sections

Austin D.

Hi! My name is Austin, and I study Biological Sciences at the University of Notre Dame. I am on the pre-medical track, have scored a 521 on the MCAT, and would love to help you pursue your dreams of studying the sciences in college or attending medical school. I began tutoring four years ago for ACT prep at the high school level. Since then, I've been a volunteer tutor for middle and high school students, specializing in math. Additionally, I've tutored my peers throughout college in subjects like chemistry, biology, physics, and biochemistry! My experience across age ranges has allowed me to adapt my approach and cater to each student’s individual needs and learning styles!

In addition to tutoring, I have worked for over two years in a developmental biology research lab, and I strive to integrate the "big picture" concepts into a cohesive understanding–a skill I deliver in every tutoring session. My teaching methods serve to build strong foundations in my students, later sharpening their learning through practice problems and assessments to understand the ins and outs of each rigorous concept. As a visual learner, I enjoy drawing illustrations and making charts and diagrams to understand concepts, making complex material easier to understand and remember. I hope to bring these skills to our sessions and give you the toolkit and problem-solving skills to thrive in each subject you pursue.

I am open to tutoring many subjects, but I specialize in science and standardized test tutoring. Specifically, I am here to help you succeed on the MCAT, ACT, or in your middle and high school classes. I am very flexible and have years of experience working with students from every age group outside of elementary school! I am very excited to help you follow your dreams--whether you are looking to succeed in high school, college, or pursue medical school!
