Welcome to my profile! I studied at the University of Michigan, pursuing a degree in biochemistry with a minor in gender and health. Having personally completed over 5,000 MCAT practice problems, I have a nuanced understanding of how the MCAT assesses content. I am originally from Port Huron, Michigan where I was a National Merit Scholar. My passion for coaching and tutoring stems from a passion for education and my desire to help others accomplish their career goals. I know that for many aspiring physicians, the MCAT is one of the biggest barriers to entry into medical school. I enjoy helping individuals who may struggle with standardized tests and test anxiety tackle this obstacle and pursue their goals. As a tutor, I go beyond simply teaching content. I take the time to get to know my students and understand their unique goals and passions. This personalized approach allows me to provide academic support, motivation, and encouragement throughout the challenging pre-medical journey. I approach each session as a collaborative learning environment. I believes that coaching is most effective when the student is an active participant; there is work that they need to put in both during their session and on their own time. I tailors each session to each student's specific needs to help them get as much as possible out of our relationship. What sets me apart as a coach is my compassion for students and my flexibility. I understand that each student has a lot going on in their life which may impact how much time and energy they can commit to achieving their goals. As such, I am very flexible with students, always willing to adjust the plan based on their changing needs.

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.

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.

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.

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.
