About Owen


Bio

I specialize in MCAT preparation and college-level science coursework, helping students move beyond memorization to develop the critical thinking and problem-solving skills needed for long-term success. I scored a 525 on the MCAT (100th percentile) and graduated summa cum laude with a B.S. in Biomedical Sciences and a 4.0 GPA.

I tutor MCAT students as well as high school and college students in Biology, General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, Physics, and Anatomy & Physiology....

I specialize in MCAT preparation and college-level science coursework, helping students move beyond memorization to develop the critical thinking and problem-solving skills needed for long-term success. I scored a 525 on the MCAT (100th percentile) and graduated summa cum laude with a B.S. in Biomedical Sciences and a 4.0 GPA.

I tutor MCAT students as well as high school and college students in Biology, General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, Physics, and Anatomy & Physiology. My experience includes one-on-one tutoring, small-group instruction, and classroom teaching, giving me insight into both the content itself and the challenges students face when learning it.

My teaching focuses on identifying the specific gaps that prevent students from applying knowledge effectively. Rather than simply reviewing information, I use active recall, guided questioning, passage analysis, and problem-solving strategies to help students build genuine understanding and confidence. Whether you're preparing for the MCAT, working through a difficult science course, or trying to improve study habits and test performance, I tailor lessons to your goals and learning style. My goal is not only to help students improve grades and test scores, but also to develop the skills needed to think critically, learn independently, and succeed in future coursework.

Approved Subjects

Biochemistry

Biochemistry

scored in the 100th percentile on the MCAT, including the Bio/Biochem section, which requires deep fluency in metabolism, enzyme kinetics, amino acid chemistry, and molecular biology. I completed biochemistry coursework as part of my B.S. in Biomedical Sciences, graduating summa cum laude with a 4.0 GPA. I also worked as an undergraduate molecular biology researcher, gaining hands-on experience with the laboratory techniques and conceptual frameworks central to biochemistry. When I tutor biochemistry, I emphasize integration over memorization, helping students understand metabolic pathways as connected systems rather than isolated reactions.
Biology

Biology

I hold a B.S. in Biomedical Sciences (summa cum laude, 4.0 GPA) and scored in the 100th percentile on the MCAT, where biology content is tested at a depth well beyond introductory coursework. I currently teach Biology at the high school level and also have undergraduate research experience in molecular biology. My approach to biology is to build understanding from first principles — students who understand why a process works, rather than simply memorizing it, retain the material more effectively and apply it more successfully on exams.
Chemistry

Chemistry

I scored in the 100th percentile on the MCAT, including the Chem/Phys section, which demands strong command of general chemistry concepts like thermodynamics, kinetics, equilibrium, acid/base chemistry, and electrochemistry. I completed the full general chemistry sequence as part of my B.S. in Biomedical Sciences, graduating summa cum laude with a 4.0 GPA. General chemistry is, in my experience, less about memorization than about developing reliable problem-solving frameworks — dimensional analysis, unit tracking, and a clear mental model of what's happening at the molecular level. I tutor chemistry by prioritizing conceptual fluency and structured problem-solving over rote formula memorization.
MCAT

MCAT

I scored a 525 on the MCAT (100th percentile) with strong performance across all four sections (Chem/Phys, CARS, Bio/Biochem, Psych/Soc). I am the founder of Areté MCAT Tutoring, a one-on-one MCAT tutoring practice, and I work with pre-med students at every stage of preparation, from initial diagnostics to final score-bump work before test day. In my experience, many students struggle on the MCAT not because they lack content knowledge, but because they have difficulty applying that knowledge efficiently under timed passage conditions. I focus heavily on passage analysis, scientific reasoning, CARS strategy, and the active-recall and spaced-repetition workflows that actually drive score gains.
Physics

Physics

I scored in the 100th percentile on the MCAT, including the Chem/Phys section, which covers mechanics, fluids, thermodynamics, electricity and magnetism, waves, optics, and atomic/nuclear physics. I completed the pre-med physics sequence as part of my B.S. in Biomedical Sciences at Liberty University, graduating summa cum laude with a 4.0 GPA. Physics is the subject where the gap between "I memorized the equation" and "I understand what's happening" matters most — students who skip the conceptual layer get stuck when problems are presented in unfamiliar ways. I tutor physics by building conceptual intuition first, then layering the math on top, so students can recognize what kind of problem they're looking at before they pick a formula.
Physiology

Physiology

I currently teach Anatomy & Physiology and completed advanced physiology coursework as part of my B.S. in Biomedical Sciences, graduating summa cum laude with a 4.0 GPA. My clinical experience as an ER scribe and EMT allows me to connect physiology to real patient presentations and medical decision-making rather than treating it as isolated memorization. I tutor physiology as a connected, cause-and-effect system, helping students understand how organ systems interact and respond under normal and pathological conditions. This approach is especially valuable for MCAT preparation and rigorous pre-med coursework.
