Bio

Hello! My name is Daniel S. and I am an experienced tutor. I helped multiple pre-med students working as a tutor in college at the Center for Academic Success and was the academic chair for my organization which raised the average GPA to 3.7 in my organization. I graduated summa cum laude with a GPA of 3.94 and found a passion for teaching complex scientific concepts in fun and efficient means to gain quick results!

Hello! My name is Daniel S. and I am an experienced tutor. I helped multiple pre-med students working as a tutor in college at the Center for Academic Success and was the academic chair for my organization which raised the average GPA to 3.7 in my organization. I graduated summa cum laude with a GPA of 3.94 and found a passion for teaching complex scientific concepts in fun and efficient means to gain quick results! I am pretty flexible and have a lot of means to work around custom request so please reach out for any questions. I am currently also tutoring medical students in our respective curriculum, including anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, infectious diseases, and microbiology.

I also understand how to adapt and study for standardized testing as my first-attempt MCAT score was within the 96th percentile while working a full-time job as a cell biology researcher at UT Southwestern.

I am currently aspiring to be a neurosurgeon and would also love to provide personal advice for a career in healthcare, advocacy for which I have been very involved through numerous organizations throughout the years.

Bible Studies

Bible Studies

I grew up as a missionary kid with international experience, including time in Thailand for which I attended more than 10 bible study classes and experience in ministry. I have read through the entire Bible mulitple times and analyzed them in my dad's theology school. Lifestone classes at my church also focused on study of the New Testament, specifically the books of Paul. I have also completed multiple college-level Bible courses which further deepened theological and scriptural understanding.

Creative Writing

Creative Writing

I scored a 5 on the AP Literature exam, reflecting strong command of narrative structure, voice, and literary technique. I have continued developing as a writer through both academic and creative work, including authoring manuscripts and personal essays that required building compelling narrative arcs and refining prose for clarity and impact. I enjoy helping students find their own voice, structure, original stories, and strengthen their command of language whether they're writing short fiction poetry or personal narrative pieces.
Environmental Science

Environmental Science

I earned a 5 on the AP Environmental Science exam, demonstrating strong command of core concepts including ecosystems, biodiversity, pollution, and environmental policy. I built on this foundation with an A in college-level Environmental Science coursework, deepening my understanding of environmental systems and their real-world applications. This background gives me a strong grasp of both foundational and more advanced environmental science topics. I can help students prepare for AP Environmental Science exams as well as succeed in college-level coursework in the subject.
Essay Writing

Essay Writing

As a current medical student, I have authored and revised multiple manuscripts and systematic reviews for peer-reviewed submission, requiring rigorous argument structure, evidence synthesis, and iterative editing. I also wrote competitive scholarship essays, including a 1,080-word personal essay that secured funding, along with additional essays for medical school and research applications. Through this work I've developed strong skills in building a clear narrative arc, sharpening thesis statements, and tightening prose for clarity — skills I bring to coaching students on both academic essays (AP-level, research-based) and personal statement or application essays.
Genetics

Genetics

I have three years of hands-on genetics research experience, including genetic sequencing and analysis in laboratories at UT Southwestern and UTMB. As a pre-medicine student I earned a 4.0 in my genetics coursework, and I have since taken medical school coursework covering genetic diseases and their molecular mechanisms in greater depth. This combination of wet-lab sequencing experience and formal coursework gives me a strong applied understanding of genetics, from Mendelian inheritance through molecular and clinical genetics. I can help students at the high school, undergraduate, or pre-med level build both conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills in genetics.
MCAT

MCAT

I scored a 520 (100th percentile) on my first MCAT attempt after developing a structured, section-specific study system within a 3-month timeline. As an academic chair, I coached undergraduate students in building their own personalized study plans, helping them target weak areas across Chem/Phys, CARS, Bio/Biochem, and Psych/Soc. My approach emphasizes efficient content review paired with high yield practice testing and review strategies, rather than generic memorization. I can help students build realisitic timelines, section-specific strategies, and sustainiable study habits tailored to their strengths and weaknesses.
Neuroscience

Neuroscience

I graduated cum laude with a Bachelors of Science in Neuroscience, completing coursework in neuropharmacology, neurophysiology, and neuroanatomy. I am currently a first-year medical student conducting neurosurgery research in the NEURAL Lab, where I have authored systematic reviews and clinical studies on topics including epilepsy localization, brain tumor resection, and cerebrovascular disease. This research requires deep, applied fluency in neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, and clinical neuroscience beyond the undergraduate level. I can help students build strong conceptual foundations in neuroscience, from intro coursework through advanced topics like neural circuits and disease mechanisms.
Personal Statements

Personal Statements

As a current medical student who successfully navigated the medical school application process, I have helped fellow students craft compelling personal statements for both medical school and college applications. I bring strong writing fundamentals to this work, having scored a 5 on the AP Literature exam, which reflects a deep skill in narrative structure, voice, and persuasive writing. I help students identify their unique story, build a clear and compelling narrative arc, and refine their prose for clarity and impact. My approach combines an insider's understanding of what admissions committees look for with strong editing skills to help applicants.
Pharmacology

Pharmacology

I have studied pharmacology at both the undergraduate and medical school level, including mastering over 200 drugs in neuropharmacology and evaluating over 1,000 drugs across varying diseases and conditions in medical school coursework. Beyond coursework, I conducted hands-on drug research at UT Southwestern, studying drug structure, binding properties, and mechanism of action using techniques including LC-MS, flow cytometry, and in vivo studies. This combination of broad pharmacological knowledge and applied laboratory experience with drug behavior gives me a strong foundation in both the conceptual and experimental sides of pharmacology. I can help students understand drug classes, mechanisms, and clinical applications, from introductory coursework through more advanced pharmacology topics.
Sociology

Sociology

I completed Sociology as part of my undergraduate curriculum, earning a 4.0 in the course. In my senior year, I built on these foundations by studying sociological concepts through a medical and behavioral lens in coursework such as Behavioral Medicine, examining how social structures, culture, and behavior influence health outcomes. This background gives me a strong grasp of core sociological theory as well as its practical application to real-world health and behavioral contexts. I can help students understand foundational sociology concepts and connect them to applied fields like public health and medicine.
