Medical Student for Medical School Application, MCAT, and Chemistry

Nicole C.

I am currently a first-year medical student at Pitt and I tutor for the MCAT and both high school and college-level Chemistry. I also provide help in planning, writing, and editing medical school application essays for both primary and secondary applications. I have a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry from the University of Pittsburgh (3.92 GPA). I scored a 520 on the MCAT, with section scores of 131 in Chem/Phys, 129 in CARS, 130 in Bio/Biochem, and 130 in Psych/Soc.

My passion for teaching has been cultivated through my experience as a teaching assistant and tutor in the Department of Chemistry at Pitt. I have a strong foundation in both chemistry and MCAT material and I am enthusiastic about helping students excel in these subjects and in their test preparation. My approach to tutoring is tailored to each student’s unique learning style and I am focused on building confidence and understanding key concepts.
As a medical student, I understand the challenges of the medical school application process. I offer guidance on crafting compelling personal statements, editing secondary essays, and refining application materials to highlight your strengths. Whether you need help with brainstorming, structuring your essays, or polishing your final drafts, I’m here to support you in presenting your best self to admissions committees.
