Harvard medical doctor and Duke grad with experience as TA/tutor

Justin G.

Hi all! My name is Justin and I am excited work with you! To tell you a bit about myself, I'm originally from New Jersey and went to Duke where I majored in Neuroscience and minored in Biology and History. While at Duke, I graduated summa cum laude with a 4.0 GPA and received early induction to the Phi Kappa Beta Honor Society as a Junior. Since then, I scored 98th percentile on the MCAT and matriculated to Harvard Medical School where I scored a 275 on Step 2 (99th percentile). I matched at Columbia for anesthesiology residency and am interested in pursuing a fellowship in cardiac anesthesia and critical care.

I've spent a significant amount of time teaching from high school through medical school. After tutoring extensively throughout high school, I went on to expand my experience as an undergraduate biology TA. In this role, I created didactics and ran review sessions in both genetics/evolution as well as cellular/molecular biology for entry-level biology students, and I came to appreciate the importance of attacking the same concept from multiple different angles to best serve a diverse group of students. In medical school, I was heavily involved in medical education and curriculum development. I have created educational videos, lessons, and laboratory experiences on the topics of neurology and surgical anatomy, and dissection.

I have experience and comfort working with students from middle school through college. Areas of expertise include cellular and molecular biology, genetics, evolution, physiology, inorganic chemistry, and standardized test prep (MCAT, Step 2). I also have experience helping review and improve students' applications to medical school and college, particularly college essays and personal statements. If you have a question as to whether or not I can help you with your particular needs, please do not hesitate to ask!

I look forward to meeting and working with you! Please reach out if you have any questions!
