About Nate

Bio

I’m an MCAT tutor focused on helping students improve how they think through questions, how they plan their studying, and how they review effectively — not just what they memorize. Over the course of my own preparation, I increased my practice exam scores from 501 to consistent 523-level performance, with cars score improving from 125 to consistent 130+. Having gone through that improvement myself, understand the struggles of the mcat and know what causes students’ improvement to plateau,...

I’m an MCAT tutor focused on helping students improve how they think through questions, how they plan their studying, and how they review effectively — not just what they memorize. Over the course of my own preparation, I increased my practice exam scores from 501 to consistent 523-level performance, with cars score improving from 125 to consistent 130+. Having gone through that improvement myself, understand the struggles of the mcat and know what causes students’ improvement to plateau, something I specialize in fixing.

I’m a 2025 graduate from University of Michigan with a bachelor’s in science where I studied biochemistry, giving me a strong background in general chemistry, organic chemistry, physics, biology and biochemistry. I have 100+ hours tutoring in these subjects at the high school and college level, and have been tutoring students through zoom since my test date.

In sessions, we work on three core areas: test-day reasoning, efficient study planning, and high-quality review. We’ll identify why questions are missed, break down AAMC logic step-by-step, and turn mistakes into repeatable strategies. I also help students build realistic weekly study plans, prioritize high-yield material, and learn how to review practice exams so that mistakes actually translate into points on future tests

MCAT

I improved my MCAT performance from a 501 to a 523 across AAMC full-length practice exams, including raising my CARS score from 125 to 131 through targeted strategy work. I am deeply familiar with all official AAMC materials and have extensive experience with a wide range of MCAT resources, allowing me to guide students on which tools to use, when to use them, and how to avoid inefficient study habits. I have over 100 hours of tutoring experience at the high school and college level, working with students of varying skill levels. My approach emphasizes careful passage reading, strategic thinking, and building habits that translate directly to higher test-day scores.

Knowledgeable and patient.

Nate is an excellent tutor who does a great job breaking down complex material into concepts that are easy to understand. I highly recommend Nate to anyone looking for a supportive and effective tutor!!

Very Knowledgable Tutor

I've been feeling kinda lost with exam prep with all the resources and what would work best for me but Nate was able to clearly guide me towards strategies that would fit my needs the best. I leave feeling more confident and honestly inclined to try harder in my preparations. Very nice and encouraging as well, I felt like I was able to be open and never felt as though I was being judged for my shortcomings.

Great tutor!

Have been studying MCAT under Blueprint and Jack Westin tutors for 2 years. None of them helped with their generic study plan, but this guy makes a difference. Glad I found someone who listens and creates individualized plan for my studies. CARS score significantly improved.

Helped me with CARS

Nate has helped me improve my understanding of the CARS section! Being able to comprehend what I'm looking at has also helped tremendously in other sections. I haven't taken my exam quite yet, so I can't speak to what my final score will be. But so far, I've seen a 7-point increase in my practice full-length scores. By test day, I'm hopeful to be able to get the score that I want!
