Bio

Hi, I’m Dixie! I recently graduated from Johns Hopkins University with an honors degree in neuroscience and am completing a master’s in the same field. I scored a 519 (129/130/130/130) on the MCAT and a 1540 on the SAT (740 RW, 800 Math). As a pre-med student, I have a strong background in chemistry (general and organic), biology, biochemistry, physics, and behavioral sciences. Having gone through all levels of IB math, I also have a strong foundation in algebra 1, 2, pre-calculus, and...

Hi, I’m Dixie! I recently graduated from Johns Hopkins University with an honors degree in neuroscience and am completing a master’s in the same field. I scored a 519 (129/130/130/130) on the MCAT and a 1540 on the SAT (740 RW, 800 Math). As a pre-med student, I have a strong background in chemistry (general and organic), biology, biochemistry, physics, and behavioral sciences. Having gone through all levels of IB math, I also have a strong foundation in algebra 1, 2, pre-calculus, and calculus.

I began tutoring 5 years ago, first focusing on algebra. Since then, I expanded to tutoring students on the SAT and individual sciences. After I successfully took the MCAT, I began tutoring students on all 4 sections, accumulating nearly 200 hours to date.

My tutoring approach focuses on fostering a deep understanding of foundational concepts, as I believe a strong grasp of the basics is essential for mastering more advanced topics. I dedicate time to ensuring my students build this solid foundation and incorporate teach-back lessons, where students explain concepts in their own words. This method not only reinforces their understanding but also helps uncover any content gaps that we can address together.

I also recognize that testing conditions don’t always accurately reflect a student’s knowledge. To bridge this gap, I work with students on effective test-taking strategies, such as triaging more challenging questions, managing time, and approaching problems methodically. My goal is to ensure their level of proficiency is fully reflected in their test performance, giving them the confidence to excel under exam conditions.

Great tutor!

Super knowledgeable about all aspects of the MCAT and did such a great job breaking topics down and making them much easier to understand! Would absolutely recommend!

Audrie, 3 lessons with Dixsheta

PreCalc

Very polite and patient. Dixsheta makes sure what is being taught is well understood. Dixsheta is competent and knows the PreCalc graphing which was very helpful and originally confusing. My daughter fells much better after Dixsheta helped out.

Sylvia, 2 lessons with Dixsheta

Impressive tutor

Since the first session, Dixie has truly amazed me with her intelligence and approach to problem solving when going over my u world questions. Literally the first session in my mind I was like “ im so lucky omg this is the help i needed” at such an affordable price too. She’s also calm and patient, which I truly value in a tutor. She has def increased my confidence to be able to tackle those challenging mcat questions. Looking forward to more sessions. Book with her. Don’t be dumbbbb. 😂 U and your pocket will not regret it.

Wonderful tutor

We are so grateful to have finally found a knowledgeable tutor. Dixsheta successfully guided my daughter through her Algebra 2 problem sets with clear directions and without second guessing his responses. We will definitely continue with lessons. Thank you Dixsheta!

Very Clear and Helpful

Explained concepts very clearly and helped in understanding the Pre Calculus material. I had some issues with remembering Algebra concepts but Dixie explained everything very well and gave a clear understanding of everything to be ready for my quiz
