I’ve been in your shoes, and now I’m here to help guide you through it. With a strong background in biomedical research and a deep passion for academic medicine, I bring both a strategic and supportive approach to MCAT tutoring. I focus on more than just content—I help you build critical thinking skills, test-taking strategies, and the confidence you need to succeed!
Albert Einstein College of Medicine
Hey there! I remember when I took my MCAT back in June of 2020: I was studying in a crowded and cramped space after having to vacate my college dorm due to social distancing restrictions, while simultaneously writing my senior thesis for my political science major and navigating the fears and sudden challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. After months of routine studying, I ended up scoring 10 points above my highest practice test score.
While my study conditions were certainly not ideal, I realized that a little bit of structure, self-reflection, and motivation would go a long way. With the help of a peer tutor, I built a personalized study plan that was tailored towards my strengths and weaknesses. I will work with you similarly to help you master the fundamentals of content, go over practice questions, and build a strong and healthy mindset leading up to test day.
University of Wisconsin-Madison
Hi! My name is Shree, and I graduated from UW-Madison as a double major in Biology and Art History. My Biology background has prepared me exceptionally well for success in the B/B and C/P sections of the MCAT while my Art History background has really enhanced my CARS skills. I took the MCAT while I was studying abroad in Rome, so I am quite familiar with how to create a flexible study schedule that accommodates individual needs. During my MCAT preparation, I used a variety of resources including free content review (10% of my studying), the AAMC question banks and practice exams (60% of my studying), and Anki (30% of my studying). From scoring a 509 on my first diagnostic to then scoring a 520 on test day, I have seen how having a structured study schedule and putting in consistent effort can really have a big impact!
I have 2 years of tutoring and peer mentorship experience, including as an organic chemistry tutor and exam grader at UW-Madison. Through these roles, I have helped students learn challenging topics while catering to their individual learning styles and preferences. I am passionate about providing pre-med students with effective study strategies that will help them succeed on the MCAT, and ultimately in medical school. I look forward to working with you!
University of Minnesota Medical School
After completing my core premed courses during undergrad, I had initially thought that was enough to master the MCAT, however, I quickly realized it was not true. My first diagnostic exam was disastrous and I learned that there were key strategies to utilize during the exam. I developed an intricate study schedule for the next few months allowing me to do multiple rounds of content review as well as finish all of the AAMC practice question banks and full length exams. During this time, I also developed unique test taking strategies to use during CARS. Through my study schedule, I was able to ensure that I had a deep understanding of all the content as well as the skills necessary to navigate a fast paced standardized exam.
Columbia Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons
I majored in History and Biology-Biochemistry at Colby College and struggled to complete all my necessary coursework before the taking the MCAT. Even still, I navigated studying for it while taking the second semester of biochemistry which I thought would be my primary challenge. Little did I know that my March 2020 test date would coincide with my college closing in the face of the Covid pandemic!
When I started to study, I quickly learned that succeeding on a fast-paced and time management-heavy standardized test was more about pattern recognition and developing a durable fund of knowledge that focused more on recognizing and applying core concepts as opposed to memorizing details. I completed frequent practice tests as part of my study schedule as well as used review materials in a targeted way to build up my weak areas. More importantly, I tried to focus on ways to build up my endurance and “keep calm” during the test. With the right combination of support, constructive feedback, and a mutually respectful tutor/tutee relationship, I believe that anyone can make significant progress in recognizing and addressing challenges they may be experiencing as part of the MCAT study process.
NYU Grossman School of Medicine
Coming from a family of chemists and chemical engineers, Kate was not sure how to approach the MCAT as nobody in her family had ever gone to medical school. Kate was also majoring in chemical engineering in college while studying for the MCAT, which required her to learn how to create an effective study strategy in order to maximize her study time. Kate had a few other pre-medical friends who had told her horror stories of 6 months of studying and retakes. After many late nights on google and reddit, Kate made a study strategy that involved light studying with anki and reviewing content over the span of 4-6 months, followed by a month of more intensive studying with practice questions and practice tests. Kate was able to obtain a 96th percent score on the MCAT (519) on her first try while balancing a 21-credit hour semester load. Kate has 4 years of tutoring experience and is excited to help other students with busy schedules create a study plan that is unique to them and that will help them effectively study and achieve the score that they deserve!

As the first person in her family to be in medicine, Emily had no idea about the time commitment or intensive preparation that would go into taking the MCAT exam. She had heard of her classmates taking anywhere between a few weeks to a few months to study and was not sure where to start. After careful research, she built herself a study plan that she integrated into her semester coursework and managed to excel with a score in the 95th percentile (517) after 12 weeks of studying while taking 16 credits of college courses. She has over 10 years of tutoring experience and is motivated to help students build a study plan that works with their schedule and allows them to build a diverse toolkit of foundational knowledge and test-taking skills.
