Preparing for high-stakes exams like the MCAT, SAT, or ACT can feel overwhelming, especially when you are unsure how to study efficiently or connect abstract concepts to real understanding. I am a pre-med student with extensive teaching and mentoring experience, and I work with students to turn their confusion into clarity by building strong conceptual foundations and structured study plans. I earned a 523 on the MCAT (99th percentile, including perfect section scores of 132 in Biology/Biochemistry and Psychology/Sociology), 35/36 on the ACT, and 1530/1600 on the SAT, and I bring that same disciplined, strategic approach to every student I tutor.
I have tutored students across a wide range of ages and settings, including one-on-one tutoring, small-group instruction, and classroom-based teaching. My experience includes serving as a Head Fellow at my university, where I led and mentored 25 tutors and worked directly with undergrads in biology and related sciences. I have also worked as a teaching assistant in cell biology and as a tutor for high school students through education-focused programs, where I supported learners in biology, chemistry, math, and SAT/ACT test preparation. These roles have helped me adapt my teaching style to different learning levels, from foundational science concepts to advanced exam strategy.
My tutoring philosophy centers on helping students truly understand the "why" behind the material rather than relying on memorization alone. For test preparation, I focus on high-yield patterns, strategic reasoning, and targeted practice that makes exams feel predictable rather than intimidating. I tailor each session to the student's goals, strengths, and challenges, whether that means content review, passage-based strategy, or confidence-building. Above all, I strive to create a supportive and motivating environment where students feel empowered to ask questions, track their progress, and reach the scores and academic goals they are capable of achieving.
