Experienced MCAT Tutor (520 Score) |UPenn Med Student

Ish S.

Hello Prospective MCAT Students!

Hi! My name is Ish, and I’m currently a third-year medical student at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. I am here to assist you with everything you need for the MCAT. As you prepare for one of the most significant exams of your academic journey, I understand the stress that accompanies it. I offer my MCAT tutoring services to help you excel on this crucial test.

I graduated from the University of Virginia with a 4.0 GPA and a Bachelor’s Degree in Neuroscience, Summa Cum Laude. I went from scoring 501 on my practice exams to scoring a 520 (97th percentile) on my first MCAT attempt, all while juggling 6 classes, volunteering every week as an EMT, and taking care of a sick family member at home.

Since 2022, I have dedicated over 200 hours to tutoring students for the MCAT and have also taught college-level courses in Biology, General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, and Biochemistry. My students consistently achieve average scores of 515+ and some have even reached as high as 527 on the actual exam.

My tutoring approach is centered around you as a learner. I focus on your specific needs and provide strategies tailored to your unique learning style to enhance your learning and boost your scores. Over my years of teaching and tutoring students in science subjects, I’ve fine-tuned my strategies and will identify your strengths so you can keep them up and work with you to improve any weakness you have. Together, we will design, implement, and succeed with a personalized and dynamic study plan.

Beyond just tutoring for the MCAT, I am committed to supporting you through this entire process. I understand firsthand the challenges and stress associated with this exam and am here to help you navigate it. I am confident that I can prepare you to excel and turn your dreams of becoming a doctor into reality. I look forward to starting this journey with you!
