Introduction: I graduated from UC Irvine in 2012 with a B.S. in Physics. As a physics major, I specialized in Biomedicine. This track required extensive training in all of the hard sciences-including Organic Chemistry, General Chemistry, and all levels of Calculus. After college, I decided to pursue a career in medicine, and I am currently pursuing a Masters in Bioscience from Keck Graduate Institute. I hope to continue on to medical school afterwards.
I started privately tutoring in high school for a friend in my Pre-Calculus class and continued it on the side throughout college. Midway through college I began working for the Berkeley Review, specializing in the MCAT Physical Sciences. After learning how to train students for standardized testing, Shortly afterwards, I decided to begin helping in test prep for AP exams, the ACT, the SAT I, and the SAT II Subject Tests. I worked for two private, high-school-level centers, Focus Academy and Group Two-In-One.
I have created a 6-week, student-specific program to help students raise their scores on the ACT and SAT I. I have also created a 10-week crash course in AP exam preparation geared towards students who are not currently enrolled in the specific AP class. Subjects include Calculus, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. I have only recently begun using Thumbtack, and thus have no references available on the website. However, I would be more than willing to refer you to previous students who have raised scores with my coaching.
