Bio/Chem/Math Tutor, College/Med School App Help [Doctorate Degree]

Alex R.

Hi I'm Alex! I earned a Bachelor's of Science in Environmental Health (cum laude with highest distinction) from the University of Rochester in 2021. Currently, I am a second year medical student working toward my doctorate in medicine degree from Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School.

I previously taught K-12 and college students at a STEM education non-profit organization in New York City, focusing on biology and chemistry as well as research skills and how to understand reading peer reviewed scientific literature. I also was a teaching assistant for the University of Rochester's biology department for the Principles of Biology course. My teaching experience totals to 5 years of working closely with students of various ages in one-on-one and group settings.

During my medical school application cycle, I interviewed at 10 medical schools, earning 6 acceptances. This was due to my insightful writing in my personal statement, activities descriptions, and secondary essays as well as my strong interviewing skills. I am experienced with the AAMCAS and AACOMAS application systems and MMI and traditional interview styles. In terms of undergraduate admissions, I transferred universities my sophomore year of college, so I am knowledgeable in exactly what factors to look for in terms of school fit and how to write essays to capture the admissions committees. Through my personal experience and advising over 20 students for college, PhD, and medical school admissions, I am well versed in personal statement editing, acing interviews, and tailoring students' writing toward the missions of specific schools and programs.

I am a primarily virtual tutor whose approach includes focusing on the specific needs of my students and developing unique strategies to enhance their understanding and improve their writing. For applications, I offer asynchronous feedback as well as live editing. 90% of the students I have worked with for applications has been accepted to a program that was a top choice for their goals.
