Hi I am a 4th year medical student passionate about helping other

Blake A.

I am a 4th-year medical student at the University of Houston College of Medicine with over five years of tutoring and teaching experience across multiple age groups and academic levels. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Biology from Howard University and later completed a Master of Science in Medical Sciences at Morehouse School of Medicine. During my Master's program, I began tutoring my peers in core medical science courses and also supported undergraduate students in subjects such as biology, chemistry, and physics.

Since then, I’ve worked with middle school, high school, college, and graduate students through both volunteer roles and professional tutoring companies. My areas of expertise include:

High School Science: Honors and AP Biology, Chemistry, and Anatomy & Physiology

Test Prep: ACT, SAT, MCAT, and USMLE

College-Level Courses: General Biology, General Chemistry, Biochemistry, Physiology, and other pre-med prerequisites

My teaching approach is student-centered, flexible, and grounded in active learning. I prioritize helping students understand the "why" behind each concept so they can develop critical thinking skills and solve unfamiliar problems with confidence. I avoid encouraging rote memorization and instead focus on building logical reasoning frameworks that foster long-term academic success. I tailor my methods to each student's learning style and goals.

I’m passionate about academic mentorship because I believe education is the key to opportunity. I strive to be a supportive guide who empowers students to reach—and exceed—their potential.
