MCAT Tutors, Events, and Resources

Scored a 40 (99th percentile) on the MCAT in 2008 (dang, I'm getting old) and subsequently coached for Kaplan professionally during med school and later on an ad hoc basis for individual clients. My approach to the MCAT is highly personalized and focused on test taking strategy. We will spend more time on HOW to prepare (what should you be doing each day) and HOW to take the test (what is the strategy when you actually sit down on test day). Focused content review is an option for topics sitting at the intersection of particularly problematic for the applicant and highly represented on the exam.

Hey! With a rich academic background from Harvard University and the University of Oxford, I bring a unique perspective to MCAT preparation. As a US Rhodes Scholar and a researcher in infectious diseases, I understand the rigorous demands of medical education and the importance of a strong foundation in the sciences. My experience as a guest epidemiology lecturer in Africa and director of various education initiatives globally has equipped me with the skills to effectively communicate complex concepts, making them accessible and engaging. I am passionate about helping aspiring medical students excel in their MCATs and achieve their dreams of entering top medical schools. Let's work together to create a personalized study plan that maximizes your strengths and addresses your challenges. Excited to work with you!

Welcome to my profile! I’m a current student at the University of Washington and a Rhodes Scholar-elect, and I bring a fresh, highly practical perspective on what it takes to do well on the MCAT. I scored a 526, and I’ve coached students through the full prep process, from building a realistic schedule to tightening test-day strategy and improving passage-based reasoning. My approach is personalized to your starting point. We will identify your strengths and weak spots, build a study plan you can actually sustain, and focus on the habits that translate into points. That includes targeted practice, a clear review system so mistakes do not repeat, and section-specific strategy for CARS and the science passages. Whether you are aiming for a top score or you just need structure and accountability, I’m here to support you step by step. If cost is a barrier, please reach out. I’m happy to discuss financial assistance options.

On the March 12th, 2022 MCAT, I scored 524/528, a 100th percentile score. I got 132/132 on Critical Analysis and Reasoning (CARS), 132/132 on Biology and Biochemistry (BB), 130/132 on CP (Chemistry and Physics), and 130/132 on Psychology and Sociology (PS). I studied for 6 months using Kaplan books, UWorld, third party full-length exams, and AAMC full-length exams. My AAMC FL average was 523/528. As a tutor for over eight years, I have extensive experience mentoring and teaching students of all ages and levels. Instead of making students memorize formulas and plug-and-chug to get answers, I encourage them to understand the principles and strategies behind each problem. My favorite teaching moment is helping students create their own examples and analogies to achieve that "eureka" moment when everything clicks.

As a current medical student at Mayo Clinic, I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to MCAT preparation as well as required pre-med courses. While completing my MD, I also work as an instructor for Kaplan's MCAT prep courses and as a tutor/TA for Mayo's College of Medicine and Science. My background in psychology and extensive work in behavioral health uniquely positions me to address the psychological and emotional challenges that often accompany MCAT study and the stressful, competitive nature of the pre-med path. With years of experience as a natural sciences tutor, I have successfully helped students master the complex scientific concepts essential for the MCAT and their undergraduate courses. Together, we can create a personalized study plan that maximizes your strengths and addresses your specific needs. Let's work together to achieve your medical school dreams!

My journey to a 524 was complicated, with many twists and turns in the road as I learned the study strategy that worked best for me. After my own experience, I developed my tutoring strategy so that others might reach (or exceed!) their target score with a plan tailored to their learning preferences and habits. Navigating the many MCAT resources out there is complicated to say the least, and it is my hope that I can help you tailor your study strategy to maximize the impact of your efforts.

I scored a in the 98th percentile on my first attempt at the MCAT, achieving perfect scores in both CARS and PS. I have extensive experience tutoring these sections in particular, in addition to building personalized study schedules, developing content-review strategies, and coaching students on test-taking mindset and endurance.

I was able to independently study and apply directly to medical school without gap years. Happy to share advice about schedule creation, content, and practice question review. Let's connect and create a personalized plan to achieve your medical school dreams!
