Hello! I am a current M3 at the University of Virginia. As your near-peer, I can help you reach your academic and career goals. I graduated summa cum laude with a degree in Biochemistry from Juniata College. I have 6 years of tutoring experience. I took the MCAT and scored in the 94th percentile. My experiences teaching and mentoring paired with my subject knowledge makes me a great tutor for college and high school level chemistry and biochemistry. Additionally, I coach rock climbing! This may not seem relevant to science, but rock climbing is all about problem solving with the physical skills you have at a given time. If I can teach middle schoolers to rock climb, I can help you work to your academic goals.
I took the MCAT in August 2020 and scored a 517 (94th percentile) by self studying. My content review was minimal and I achieved a large increase in my score by focusing on gaps in my understanding. I went from a 509 first practice test to a 128/131/129/129. My CARS score is in the 99th percentile: the trick to this section is test taking skills. Now with 4 years of CARS tutoring experience, I will help you improve your test taking skills and create a more focused MCAT study strategy to achieve your goal score.

Super nice and knowledgeable

Very knowledgeable about all topics on the MCAT and is good at teaching. She also always sends me super helpful resources to help with areas I’m weak in. My score has already increased by 5 points since starting with her.

Explains concepts clearly

I am taking general chemistry after long hiatus from school. Mary's ability to break down complex concepts into understandable pieces and build them back up has put me on a path of understanding.

Amazing biochemistry tutor!

Mary has been a great help in my biochemistry prep! She explains the difficult concepts really well and even creates practice problems for me to reinforce my learning. I really recommend having her as your tutor!
