A tutor who's been in your seat

I'm a rising senior at Duke University, majoring in Biology, Marine Science, and Conservation, and on the pre-med track with a focus on oncology and environmental medicine. I grew up near the Indian River Lagoon in Merritt Island, Florida, where an early interest in science turned into a drive to help other students build the same confidence in themselves that good teachers built in me.

Over the past four-plus years, I've tutored hundreds of students through the ACT, MCAT, and the college and med school application process, from content review to essay strategy. I know what it feels like to stare down a test that decides a lot about your future, and I know what actually moves the needle when you're preparing for one.
