College Professor & Sciences Tutor for Anatomy, Physiology, MCAT Prep

Xavier P.

I am a college-level instructor and tutor with over 3 years of experience teaching anatomy, physiology, microbiology, algebra, and general chemistry. I currently teach students at Pennsylvania State University in Jenkintown, PA, and also work with nursing students at another local college, where I design lectures, lead labs, and mentor more than 100 learners each term. In addition, I’ve provided over 400 hours of individualized tutoring for high-school, undergraduate, and post-baccalaureate learners, including pre-medical and nursing students. Most of my students are adult or returning learners (ages 16–60, median 35), and I devote my time to helping “second-chance” students rediscover their academic confidence.

My academic background includes a Master of Biomedical Sciences (3.8 GPA) from Rutgers University and a B.S. in Pre-Medical Studies from Thomas Jefferson University. I also earned a 90th percentile MCAT score, with strongest sections in Biology/Biochemistry and CARS, demonstrating broad scientific competency. Beyond the sciences, I help students with personal statements and secondary essays, drawing on my own experience navigating the application process and my passion for writing. In didactic and strategy-based sessions, I focus on active recall, spaced repetition, and problem-based learning, tailoring each plan to the student’s goals and schedule. I help learners create realistic study plans, maintain accountability, and stay motivated. Students often describe my teaching as clear, patient, and motivational; my goal is to make science accessible, engaging, and rewarding for every learner.
