Hi, I’m Aaron! I graduated from Washington University in St. Louis in May of 2023 with a degree in biochemistry and a minor in literature. Currently, I’m a second-year medical student at the University of Virginia School of Medicine. I’m also a licensed EMT and am fluent in Spanish!

I’ve previously tutored one-on-one with high school students in calculus, focusing on problem-based learning as well as individualized, flexible learning strategies. I also helped students work through introductory collegiate biology and chemistry coursework on a volunteer basis, where I used inquiry-based learning to connect concepts to real-world applications and make them more digestible.

While working as an EMT, I worked in a training officer position where I mentored dozens of students to take their licensing exams in both group and individual settings. Beyond that, I designed educational programs to teach these students soft skills like critical thinking and confidence while preparing them to run calls.

While STEM subjects were the focus of my degree, I also have a passion for language and literature. I tutored high school students in Spanish, both learning from a beginner stage and improving fluency for students already familiar with the language. I also have experience reviewing papers on English language and literature for high school and college students. Specifically, this consisted of helping to construct rhetorical arguments, analyze text, and improve prose. I developed templates for different types of essays that these students have used for other classes.

I like to take a collaborative, student-centered approach to learning. That entails setting clear, attainable, and flexible goals at the start of tutoring and regularly checking in on which strategies are enjoyable and effective for the student. I look forward to working with you to master your material!

Approved Subjects

Biology

Biology

As an undergraduate, I completed a wide variety of coursework in Biology, including classes in General Biology, Biochemistry, Cell Biology, Population Genetics, Endocrinology, Protein Analysis, and Anatomy. During that time, I also worked in a lab for over a year studying the human microbiome using applied genetics research techniques. I have used and cemented my familiarity with these topics through studying for and performing well on medical school entrance exams and working in a medical device development company. During these experiences I have helped undergraduate students to work through problems in collegiate biology, and have mentored new researchers in biology laboratory settings.
Chemistry

Chemistry

While in my undergraduate degree, I completed coursework such as General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, Polymer Chemistry, and Bioorganic Chemistry. I was then able to use these courses while working in Research and Development for a pharmaceutical company. I also had the opportunity to mentor younger students and teach them to apply chemistry to real world problems in this research position.
EMT/ NREMT

EMT/ NREMT

I served as a volunteer EMT for 4 years. During that time, I trained EMTs one-on-one for three years to pass their NREMT exams and advance their skills. I also served as training officer for a year, where I was able to design lessons to target agency weak points. Since then, I've spent a year in medical school, where my understanding of the pathophysiology behind what I learned in my NREMT exam has grown significantly. I look forward to helping you get started on an exciting career!
English

English

During my undergraduate coursework, I minored in literature. This included English courses ranging from literary modernity to feminist literature to germanic folklore. Throughout these classes, I’ve written numerous creative and expository pieces, as well as aided other students in writing their own essays. This assistance covered every part of the writing process, including inspiration, outlining, editing, proofreading, and polishing.
Genetics

Genetics

During my undergraduate coursework, I completed courses such as "Principles of Biology," "Population Genetics and Macroevolution," and "Cell Biology." All of these courses covered genetics topics spanning from the cellular level all the way to the ecological. Once I completed these courses, I worked in a lab studying the composition of microbiomes using a variety of genetics techniques, providing me with hands-on application of the skills explored in my coursework.
Literature

Literature

During my undergraduate coursework, I was able to complete a minor in literature, exploring topics such as World Literature, Literature in Folklore, Queer Literature, and Women's Literature. This provided me with the opportunity to perform research on the relationship between literature and society, such as the discussion of Property Rights in Virginia Woolf's "Orlando". I was also able to help other students to formulate research questions, perform textual analysis, and improve their writing.
MCAT

MCAT

I took the MCAT in 2023 and scored in the 94th percentile on my first try. Since then, I've advised numerous peers on the test and medical school application process, been accepted into medical school, and completed my first year. I've tutored in a number of closely related subjects, including college-level math and chemistry. I'm looking forward to working with you to knock this test out of the park!
SAT Math

SAT Math

While pursuing a degree in biochemistry, I acquired a strong quantitative background, including courses such as Statistics, Calculus (up to Calculus III), and Data Structures. I was able to take advantage of these skills while performing data analysis in a microbiome research lab that I worked in for over a year. I have also tutored students in Calculus, working to provide incoming college students with the necessary math background to excel in calculus coursework.
Writing

Writing

During my undergraduate studies, I completed a minor in Literature. This provided me with opportunities for both creative and expository writing. I was able to not only improve these skills for myself, but also to peer review other students’ essays to help them to communicate more effectively. Beyond classroom writing, I also have reviewed other students’ college and medical school application essays to ensure their message is clearly conveyed.
