I am a fourth-year medical student at the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, where I completed a full basic science curriculum before moving into clinical rotations in emergency medicine, internal medicine, neurology, pediatrics, and surgery. My academic background gives me a strong foundation in physiology, biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics, psychology, and experimental design, all of which map directly to the MCAT. I have worked with pre-med students, post-baccalaureate students, and early medical students to strengthen their performance in both science coursework and MCAT preparation.
My tutoring approach is grounded in evidence-based learning science. The MCAT rewards reasoning, retention, and cognitive endurance more than memorization, so I help students transition from passive reading to structured, efficient study. I use tools such as spaced repetition systems (including Anki), memory palaces and mnemonics for dense detail, and high-volume practice questions to identify patterns and feedback loops. Many students are surprised that they can retain more while studying less when their inputs are organized correctly. I believe strong performance is achievable without burnout, and that efficiency and consistency matter more than sheer hours.
Most of my sessions are one-on-one and focus on both content and strategy. With college and gap-year students, I help build durable frameworks for difficult areas such as biochemistry pathways, renal and cardiovascular physiology, and research passages. My goal is to make the test feel manageable by teaching students how to think the way medical students think, and by giving them a study system that preserves time and improves confidence. I enjoy mentoring students along the path to medicine and helping them develop the tools to succeed not only on the MCAT, but also as future medical trainees.
