I recently graduated college from WashU with a Bachelor's in Anthropology. I'm premed and I am passionate about removing frustration from studying! My teaching experience includes working as a Peer Led Team Learning Instructor throughout college. For the past 5 years, I have mainly tutored college-level math and science, focusing more on test prep (SAT, ACT, and MCAT for the last year).
I have taken both the SAT and ACT, I scored 1580 on the SAT and a 34 on the ACT. I took both AP Bio and Chem scoring a 5 on both exams. I graduated college with an A average GPA with A's in general chemistry (I&II), Introductory Biology (I&II), Organic Chemistry (I&II), Physics (I&II), and their accompanying lab sections.
I am currently on my gap year before medical school. I've taken the MCAT twice, scoring a 515 and then a 520. I have since been tutoring in all MCAT subjects and I am confident I could help a student reach any score goal. I am comfortable working with students with a variety of study time frames whether that be 6 months or 6 weeks.
I have a general MCAT study approach that I find works for 90% of my students, but I am always open to tailoring my approach for my students. I am familiar with most if not all available MCAT materials (UWorld, Kaplan, Princeton, AAMC, etc.) and I can make recommendations on what materials to purchase so that you don't waste time and resources on materials that aren't representative of the actual exam.
I take an integrative approach to tutoring, making sure that we review topics holistically and we work on how to attack the problems you might see on quizzes and exams. I find this approach keeps students from being overwhelmed with background information and helps them feel like they can tackle homework and practice problems on their own. I strive to change my tutoring methods based on my students, whether that be making beautiful study guides, making flashcards, or writing songs or short stories that help create a story of the not-so-fun information we have to learn.
