MCAT Test Prep Coaches

Over the last five years, I've developed a toolkit to fundamentally change the way many students approach the MCAT. A reasoning test first and foremost, I've built on my foundational teaching skills to help students not only meet their goals, but often exceed them. Going through the premed process can be arduous and anxiety-provoking, and preparing for a high-stakes examination like the MCAT is no exception. I've honed in on skills fostered through years of working as a mentor and teacher with the CURB Peer Mentorship Program, teaching in local K-12 high schools in Ithaca through 21st Century & REACH and conducting in-person and online MCAT tutoring with both Yale and Cornell undergrads. Now, having adapted a course full of materials, strategies, and resources to guide my students, I'm excited to use Leland's platform to share my insights and strategies to the next generation of future physicians. I scored in the 99th percentile in the MCAT, but what sets me apart is my motivation to adapt and invest in the needs of every one of my students. From personalized Anki decks for each AAMC content outline, to unique, integrative protocols to optimize students’ approaches to each MCAT section, I strive to go above and beyond as a resource for my students. The students I’ve worked with over the years, regardless of their starting point and timeline, have gone on to score in the 90th percentile and above on average. Be it acing your first attempt, trying to show improvement on a subsequent attempt, or even after your MCAT to garner application process advice, know that I’m prepared for, and committed to, helping you reach your goals.

As a Stanford University student with a background in biology, I bring a strong foundation in the sciences to my MCAT coaching. My experience as a mentor with organizations like Teach For America and Curious Cardinals has honed my ability to guide students through challenging academic landscapes. I've previously successfully coached students during my time in high school, helping them improve their SAT/ACT/AP scores and gain confidence in their test-taking abilities. I scored in the 99th percentile on the MCAT, taking it after my sophomore year of college, and I know firsthand what it takes to master this exam efficiently and strategically. My approach focuses on building a deep understanding of the concepts behind the questions—not just memorization—so that students can think like the test makers and feel confident on test day. Having gone through the process early in college, I’ve developed targeted strategies for balancing content review, practice, and mental stamina that work even with a busy schedule. I’m passionate about helping each student reach their full potential and approach the MCAT with clarity, confidence, and a plan that works.

Despite my youth, I've amassed nearly 5 years of professional MCAT Instruction and Coaching. As the former Director of MCAT Instruction at Jack Westin, and a current medical student at the University of Toronto, I've supported hundreds of pre-med students with their MCAT preparation. I place a large emphasis on test taking strategy and individualized study plans so that each student can see the most progress in the shortest amount of time. I've helped multiple students achieve 20+ point increases, which ultimately puts the student in a stronger position when it comes to applying to medical school.

I received a 522 on the MCAT (>99th percentile) and am a current medical student at the University of Pennsylvania's Perelman School of Medicine. I also worked in research and healthcare consulting, and am the Co-Founder and CEO of an orthopedic device startup. I love to work with students to find out what subject area strengths and weaknesses they have, set up study plans to address these weaknesses, and also help them strategize ways to improve their scores on the MCAT. I also enjoy giving test taking strategies to ensure your MCAT score is everything you dreamed!

Welcome to my profile!

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.
