About Priscilla

Bio

Hi, I'm Priscilla! I graduated summa cum laude from the University of Rochester with a Bachelor of Arts degree as a triple major in Chemistry, Biology, and Public Health. With a busy course load, I have had to teach myself lots of techniques to understand course material well and efficiently. In high school, I was my class's valedictorian, so I would love to help younger and college-aged students develop the skills to succeed!

Hi, I'm Priscilla! I graduated summa cum laude from the University of Rochester with a Bachelor of Arts degree as a triple major in Chemistry, Biology, and Public Health. With a busy course load, I have had to teach myself lots of techniques to understand course material well and efficiently. In high school, I was my class's valedictorian, so I would love to help younger and college-aged students develop the skills to succeed!

In terms of my teaching experience, I was an organic chemistry TA for three years in college, and I have offered tutoring since I was in high school. Subjects I've tutored include middle school through high school English and math as well as chemistry/biology through the college-level.

I am a first-year dental student at the University of Pennsylvania, so I am open to providing support at any stage of the dental admissions process from mastering the DAT to writing essays to interview preparation. I scored a 26 AA on the DAT (99th percentile), and I have experience conducting interviews and selecting candidates for a competitive research-experience program at my college. I have a great understanding of what makes essays and interview responses shine from reviewing hundreds of candidates.

Happy learning!

Approved Subjects

DAT (Dental)

DAT (Dental)

I am an incoming dental student that scored a 26 AA or 520 AA on the new scale (25 TS, QR 28, RC 27) on the DAT. In addition to being a high scorer on this test, I also have extensive experience as a college organic chemistry TA. I am excited to help other students also succeed on this important test!
Dentistry

Dentistry

I am available to help with any stage of the dental admissions process, from taking the DAT to crafting a personal statement to crushing interviews! I recently applied and was accepted into multiple dental schools, and I was a top scorer on the DAT, achieving a 26AA. Reach out for advice and support during the application process!
EMT/ NREMT

EMT/ NREMT

I successfully passed the NYS EMT-B exam in 2023. I also served as an EMT for my campus agency. I have maintained my skills through routine in-service presentations for my agency that I both attended and created.
Essay Writing

Essay Writing

I have gotten experience writing essays for a variety of subjects from Spanish to philosophy to chemistry. In all of these contexts, I excelled and even received the English Award in high school in recognition of my writing ability. I can offer feedback focused on writing mechanics and style.
Genetics

Genetics

I received an A in my genetics course, which included topics like Mendelian genetics, understanding the role of DNA as the genetic material, and emerging topics in the field. I was also a biology major in college, giving me extra practice with this material. I can help with problem-solving strategies and explaining content.
Interview Prep

Interview Prep

I have successfully interviewed for many competitive positions, including to become a dental student, a resident advisor, and an EMT. Additionally, I led and evaluated over 50 interviews for a research program at my university, so I have learned what makes and breaks an interview from both sides of the process.
Organic Chemistry

Organic Chemistry

I was a three-time organic chemistry TA in college, helping dozens of students through the difficult course. I was also a chemistry major, and I graduated with highest distinction in the major. I love helping students see patterns and problem-solve.
Personal Statements

Personal Statements

In addition to submitting a successful personal statement for my dental school application, I got lots of experience evaluating personal statements for a competitive research program at my university. I read hundreds of these essays, so I understand what makes personal statements stand out to a busy reader.

Extremely Knowledgeable and Patient.

She helped walk me through some very challenging Organic 1 concepts like NMR spectroscopy IR. She was very patient with my questions and answered them all in an easy and digestible manner. She also responds very quickly which is a major addition. I highly recommend taking her for chemistry, she is just the best.

Great tutor, can explain concepts very well! Really helped me understand the material.

Priscilla was a great tutor and was able to explain organic chemistry concepts really well to me as well as walk me through different reactions types. Also she’s very nice and easy to talk to!

Patient and Thorough Tutor!

I prepared for my biology finals with Priscilla, and we went over all the topics that I was hesitant about. She explained everything very clearly and in depth, and made sure that I was confident in everything I was going to be tested on. She is very kind and patient, and I am looking forward to working with her again!

Exceptional Guidance

I had Priscilla review and proof read an essay I was writing. Not only did she fix minor errors in my writing, but she completely enhanced the overall essay, making suggestions and edits that improved its flow. She really made the theme of my essay shine by refining elements that were disorganized.

Kind, Patient and thorough

Pricilla worked well with my student. She provided comprehensive, guided tutoring that was easy for her to understand. Pricilla helped my student with writing, grammar/punctuation, how to organize main ideas and to write clearly. My student felt more confident in completing the assignment and is eager to work with her again soon.
