About Maggie

I am a kind and compassionate MCAT and Medical School Admissions Coach. I graduated from the University of Michigan with my B.S. in biochemistry with a minor in gender and health and am now attending medical school. I have several years of tutoring experience across a variety of subjects and have been coaching specifically for the MCAT for over a year. I scored a 523 on my first and only MCAT attempt - I am an expert on both the content tested on the MCAT and winning test-taking strategies. My passion for coaching stems from my passion for education and desire to help others accomplish their career goals. I know that for many aspiring physicians, the MCAT and the application process are some of the biggest barriers to entry for medical school. I love to help individuals who may struggle with standardized tests and test anxiety tackle these obstacle and pursue their goals. My strengths as coach include my deep understanding of the content tested on the MCAT and the admission process. My degree in biochemistry has provided me with an understanding of the scientific concepts tested on the MCAT that is deeper than the level tested on the MCAT. Having personally completed over 5,000 MCAT practice problems, I also have a nuanced understanding of the ways in which this test assesses this content.  What sets me apart as a coach is my compassion for my clients and my flexibility. I understand that each client has a variety of things going on in their life and that these things may impact how much time and energy they can commit to the process. As such, I am very flexible with my clients, always willing to adjust the plan based on their changing needs. I approach each coaching session as a collaborative experience. I believe that coaching is most effective when the client is an active participant, and that there is work that they need to put in both during sessions and on their own time. I tailor each session to each client's specific needs to help them get as much as possible out of our relationship as possible.
