Hello! My name is Jacob, and I am a senior pre-med at Rice University studying Spanish & Portuguese and Biochemistry & Cell Biology. I scored a 526 on the MCAT, with scores of 132 in C/P, 132 in CARS, 130 in B/B, and 132 in P/S.
While new to formal MCAT tutoring, I have 6+ years of teaching, tutoring, and mentoring experience with students of different ages and backgrounds. I currently teach adult ESL classes of 15–20+ students, and have also volunteered for several years as an ESL tutor...
Hello! My name is Jacob, and I am a senior pre-med at Rice University studying Spanish & Portuguese and Biochemistry & Cell Biology. I scored a 526 on the MCAT, with scores of 132 in C/P, 132 in CARS, 130 in B/B, and 132 in P/S.
While new to formal MCAT tutoring, I have 6+ years of teaching, tutoring, and mentoring experience with students of different ages and backgrounds. I currently teach adult ESL classes of 15–20+ students, and have also volunteered for several years as an ESL tutor and mentor for refugee middle and high school students, including teaching small groups of 4–5 students. These experiences have taught me how to explain difficult concepts clearly, identify where a student is struggling, and adjust my approach to meet their needs.
For MCAT tutoring, I focus on both content and reasoning skills. I especially work with students to understand why they are missing questions, recognize patterns in AAMC-style questions, and develop strategies for approaching concepts that initially seem unfamiliar. I help students create realistic study schedules, prioritize high-yield material, and review full-length exams to identify areas for improvement.
With a 100th percentile score and an AAMC full-length average of 524, I have spent extensive time learning how to approach the MCAT effectively, and I would love to help you do the same. I work with students at any stage of prep and with a wide range of score goals, whether you are just getting started, working toward a specific target score, or trying to maximize your performance. I believe every student can make meaningful progress with the right preparation, strategy, and support!
