Westfield, NJ MCAT Tutors

Critical Reading

Verbal Reasoning

I am a recently retired university professor with 37 years' teaching and research experience in organic and bio-organic chemistry at two major U. S. State universities. During the past 18 years I have served as an MCAT content contributor by providing "units" (passages + questions based on passage content) to the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), the agency that produces and administers MCAT. I currently tutor students worldwide by using interactive Skype and Google Hangouts with screen sharing. The screen sharing feature permits chemical structures, formulas and reaction mechanisms to be drawn onscreen in real time during tutorial sessions. All visual materials produced in this manner are saved as jpg files and sent to students as email attachments at the conclusion of each tutorial session. In addition to one-on-one tutoring, Students are provided with study and review materials, practice problems and sample exam questions that I know from experience are likely to ...

I am a certified MCAT GenChem and OrgChem instructor by The Princeton Review.

Education
I scored an amazing 97% on the physical section of the New MCAT. I was the Valedictorian of Lafayette High school class 2006 and I also attended NYU and graduated Cum Laude with a double major in Chemistry and Psychology.

Experience
I have been working as a full time tutor for over 5 years now with incredible results. I have tutored students from the colleges of : Harvard, Cornell, NYU, LIU, St Johns, St Josephs, Hunter, Brooklyn, CCNY, Columbia, and online courses.

Passion
I live and breathe tutoring and I love to see her students understand and master complex concepts after struggling at first. My approach centers around the student and practicing many, many problems. I believe that mistakes and questions are essential to productive learning.

I took the 2015 MCAT in January of 2016.
I scored a 516:
-Chemical and Physical Foundations of Biological Systems: 129 / 132
-Critical Analysis and Reasoning skills: 127 /132
-Biological and Biochemical Foundations of Living Systems: 132 /132
-Psychological, Social and Biological Foundations of Behavior: 128/132

I self studied and made my own study plan and notes. Students should expect to be able to consult me on study plans, questions on passages, topics, or anything in the scope of the MCAT. Students should come prepared with questions and send me any materials they feel are relevant for me to cover in their session. I look forward to working with you and helping you achieve your dreams of attending medical school!

I am extremely well-versed with the MCAT exam content and the MCAT science subject areas of biology, chemistry, and organic chemistry. My preparation consist of a comprehensive review of all topics, and the provision of practice exams and other study materials for time not spent in session. In fact, I was also the workshop leader for medical school and MCAT preparation at the UCLA Career Center for about a year.

I obtained a 99 percentile score (521) on the new MCAT (CP:99%, CARS: 90%, BB: 99%, PS: 99%). I have taken practice tests/done questions from all the major test companies, including AAMC, Examkrackers, Nextstep, Kaplan, The Princeton Review, Altius, and The Berkeley Review so I am very familiar with the questions you are likely to ask about. I graduated from UC Irvine with a B.S. in neurobiology and have molecular neuroscience research for 5.5 years. Thus, I can discuss biology/biochemistry and psychology/sociology concepts in great detail.

I have been tutoring for 2 years, both as a private tutor and a teacher’s assistant. I have taught a variety of subjects but primarily specialize in biology, neuroscience, chemistry, and math. I love science and math and hope to bring my enjoyment and confidence to you! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. :)

Experienced MCAT teacher, dedicated to improve your material comprehension and provide exam tips. I scored in the 97th percentile through self-study method on the first try. I structure my lessons so students learn what they want to learn, while also building a strong foundation of chemistry, physics, and biology/biochemistry skills. typically use The Berkeley Review books, but I can also explain concepts according to the student's needs.
