Bio

I am a 3rd year MD student at Oregon Health & Science University. Prior to medical school, I was a high school AP biology and AP chemistry teacher for 7 years with extensive experience working with ESOL students. During this time my students excelled on the AP exams with over 80% passing. I have a Master of Education degree from Boston University.

I am a 3rd year MD student at Oregon Health & Science University. Prior to medical school, I was a high school AP biology and AP chemistry teacher for 7 years with extensive experience working with ESOL students. During this time my students excelled on the AP exams with over 80% passing. I have a Master of Education degree from Boston University. I specialize in tailoring instruction to meet each student’s individual needs. I do not believe in a “one-size-fits-all” approach, but rather that we all learn best when we are appropriately supported – and I am committed to providing that support.

After 7 years as a teacher, I decided it was time to move on to achieve a goal of mine which was to become a doctor. However, I am passionate about helping students achieve their goal. For this reason, I started tutoring 5 years ago, and have continued to tutor since then. I focus on helping students in my areas of expertise: the MCAT, anatomy and physiology, biology, and chemistry. I would be thrilled to help you reach your goals and excel academically. It will take hard work but I will be here to support you every step of the way. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with questions or to schedule a session.

Chemistry

Chemistry

For 7 years, I was an AP Chemistry teacher at a high performing high school. During that time, my students significantly outperformed the average on the AP exam with over 80% earning a passing score. I have worked with dozens of students who have earned a score of 4 or 5 on the AP exam. My experience and background enables me to quickly breakdown challenging concepts to help students master and apply them to questions that will appear on the AP exam. Additionally, I point out information that is essential to carry forward as students take additional chemistry/biology/biochemistry classes in college. I am committed to helping each of my students perform their very best.
MCAT

MCAT

I am passionate about helping people prepare for and excel on the MCAT. After being a high school teacher for 7 years, I took the MCAT and scored in the 98th percentile. While studying, I had a hard time as improvement was slow. After learning the nuances of the exam and taking the exam, I decided to help others prepare for the MCAT. Over the last five years, I have tutored folks preparing for the MCAT. During that time my students have earned an average score of 516, with dozens earning above a 520. I specialize in helping folks who are retaking the exam and have helped this group of students increase their score by an average of 9+ points. By utilizing my teaching experience, I am able to help students identify high-yield concepts, learn and implant strategies to increase reading comprehension, critical reasoning, and efficiency to improve their scores. I have a Master of Education degree in curriculum and instruction from Boston University. I would be thrilled to work with you and help you excel on the MCAT.

Knowledgeable, Friendly, and Patient Tutor - Wish I Had Worked with Him Sooner!

I worked with a couple of other tutors before meeting Aric and I wish I had worked with him sooner! He is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and patient. He has a deep understanding of the material and knows how to teach the material to help me comprehend it. He is always patient and always takes time to thoroughly answer all of my questions. Most importantly, I feel comfortable asking for help or advice when I am confused. After each session, I feel like we make significant progress and I know what I need to do next in order to reach my goals. I am grateful to have his support!

Such a difference in my son's learning!

Aric was so kind and encouraging to my son and it made a huge difference in his frustration level with chemistry. Once he stopped feeling inadequate under Aric's patient guidance, his learning increased exponentially. Such a relief for a mom.

Great tutor

Aric was amazing. His approach is ideal for tutoring for the MCAT and he breaks it down for easy understanding. I couldn’t imagine using anyone else. Highly recommended.

Knowledgeable and helpful tutor.

Aric did a great job with helping me dissect MCAT passages and gave useful CARS strategies. I like how he sees how his students work on their own before providing feedback. I would highly recommend Aric!

Good tutor

Aric A has helped make a study schedule for me and helps guide me through my studying. He gives good advice on how to start from a place when stuck, and how to be more productive. He shares his story from time to time to set it as an example of how to study. He's a really good tutor.
