Hi, I’m Andrew! I recently graduated with honors in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from Wake Forest University, where I developed a strong foundation for the sciences and discovered how much I enjoy helping others learn. My approach to tutoring is patient, encouraging, and individualized. I know from my own experience as a student that sometimes a concept makes sense when it is explained one way and becomes much clearer when someone approaches it from a different angle. Rather than simply giving students an answer, I like to work through problems with them, ask questions to understand where they are getting stuck, and adapt my approach to their learning style. My goal is to help students understand the material well enough to confidently tackle the next problem on their own.

During college, I worked at Wake Forest’s Chemistry Center, tutoring students in General Chemistry I and II and Organic Chemistry I and II. I especially enjoyed helping students become more comfortable with material that initially felt intimidating. This experience taught me that being a good tutor is about more than knowing the material. It is about understanding how a student is thinking and finding an explanation that makes the concept click. I also earned a 90th percentile MCAT score, which required me to master a broad range of material including biology, biochemistry, chemistry, physics, and psychology. I enjoy working with students at all levels, from high school students building their foundation in science to college students navigating challenging courses and premed students preparing for the MCAT.

Whether you are preparing for an upcoming exam, struggling with a difficult concept, or simply looking to become more confident in science, I want to make learning feel approachable and help you develop the skills to succeed independently.

Approved Subjects

Biochemistry

Biochemistry

I graduated with honors from Wake Forest University with a degree in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and completed an honors research thesis in a biochemistry laboratory. My coursework and research gave me extensive experience with protein structure and function, enzyme kinetics, metabolism, molecular biology, and biochemical pathways. I also earned a 90th-percentile MCAT score, which required a strong understanding of biochemistry and the ability to apply it to challenging passages and experimental questions. I enjoy helping students understand the connections between biochemical concepts rather than simply memorizing pathways.
Biology

Biology

I graduated with honors from Wake Forest University with a degree in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, giving me a strong foundation in biology from both coursework and laboratory research. My biology background includes cell biology, genetics, molecular biology, physiology, and the biological sciences covered on the MCAT. I earned a 90th percentile MCAT score and developed a strong ability to connect biological concepts and apply them to unfamiliar problems. I enjoy breaking complicated biological processes into smaller, understandable pieces and helping students build confidence in their reasoning.
Chemistry

Chemistry

I have extensive experience with chemistry through my Biochemistry and Molecular Biology degree at Wake Forest University and my work as a tutor at the Wake Forest Chemistry Center. At the Chemistry Center, I tutored students in General Chemistry I and II and Organic Chemistry I and II, helping students work through both foundational concepts and challenging problems. I also earned a 90th percentile MCAT score, further strengthening my understanding of chemistry and its application to biology and medicine. I especially enjoy helping students move beyond memorizing reactions and formulas to understanding why the chemistry works the way it does.
MCAT

MCAT

I took the MCAT in August 2024 and scored in the 90th percentile. It took months of studying and figuring out how I learn, but I came to appreciate the journey. During my time in Wake Forest's Chemistry Center, I offered to help answer MCAT-style questions and gained a strong understanding of how to work quickly while staying efficient.
Physics

Physics

I developed a strong foundation in physics through my undergraduate coursework and later reinforced that knowledge while preparing for the MCAT, where physics is an important component of the exam. I earned a 90th percentile MCAT score and became comfortable applying physics concepts to both traditional problems and unfamiliar scientific scenarios. I can help students with topics such as mechanics, fluids, electricity and magnetism, waves, and basic thermodynamics. My approach focuses on understanding the underlying concepts and developing a repeatable problem-solving process rather than relying solely on memorized equations.
