About Jesse


Bio

Hi, I'm Jesse! I'm from Brooklyn, New York, and I'm currently a medical student at SUNY Downstate. I graduated with honors from Bowdoin College with a double major in math and English in 2016, and I completed a postbaccalaureate premedical certificate at Goucher College.

I took the MCAT in April, 2023, and I scored a 526 overall. I'm excited to use my background in teaching and test prep to accompany future medical students on their MCAT journey. I also tutor for the GRE, and I scored 170...

Hi, I'm Jesse! I'm from Brooklyn, New York, and I'm currently a medical student at SUNY Downstate. I graduated with honors from Bowdoin College with a double major in math and English in 2016, and I completed a postbaccalaureate premedical certificate at Goucher College.

I took the MCAT in April, 2023, and I scored a 526 overall. I'm excited to use my background in teaching and test prep to accompany future medical students on their MCAT journey. I also tutor for the GRE, and I scored 170 on both the quantitative and the verbal sections when I took this exam. In addition to my work in test prep, I am also happy to help students with writing, and I have worked as a writing assistant for both undergrad and graduate students.

Since my undergrad years, I've tutored both math and writing, with students from fourth grade to grad school. I've worked for tutoring organizations as well as freelance, and I've specialized in tutoring a wide range of students for the GRE and MCAT. Between undergrad and grad school, I taught 6th and 7th grade English Language Arts in a NYC public school as a long-term substitute. This diversity of teaching experiences over the past seven years has encouraged me to target the specific needs and learning styles of each student.

I'm excited to work with you! Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions, or to schedule a time to meet.

High School Placement Test

High School Placement Test

When I was applying to high school in NYC, I took the SHSAT, and graduated from Brooklyn Technical High School. This gave me a first-hand perspective on competitive and test-centered high school admissions. I have also worked as a standardized test tutor 2016, covering the SAT, GRE and MCAT, and this experience prepares me for a wide range of high school entrance exams.
MCAT

MCAT

In April of 2023 I took the MCAT and scored 526 overall (132 on Chem/Phys, 132 on CARS, 130 on Bio/Biochem and 132 on Psych/Soc). I've been a test prep tutor for over 6 years, and I am excited to use my background with the GRE and other exams to inform my teaching of the specific subject matter of the MCAT. I have used a variety of different study materials and tools, and I enjoy exploring the prep methods that work best for each student.

I have been a writing tutor since 2015, in both undergraduate- and graduate-level contexts, and this has prepared me to support a wide range of students pursuing a variety of writing goals and academic disciplines. This experience informs my approach to thesis writing, which is based on making short-, intermediate-, and long-term writing goals, and holding students accountable to these goals.
USMLE

USMLE

I'm currently in my third year of medical school, and I passed Step 1 on my first try, several weeks before the deadline for my school. Because Step 1 is evaluated as pass/fail, I don't have an official score for my exam; however, each of the four NBME practice tests I took before Step 1 gave me a 95-99% probability of passing, indicating a high level of consistency and test-taking ability. At my medical school, I am a member of the competitive Medical Educator Pathway, which has given me experience teaching my peers in medical knowledge and clinical reasoning.
