GET MCAT READY
IN 4 WEEKS

Ali

MCAT 523

Education: American University of Beirut (2005), Biology

Ali majored in biology at the American University of Beirut, and later completed graduate work in molecular evolution. He served as a TA for biology, biochemistry, and statistics classes in graduate school, and he's been guiding students to reach their MCAT goals for tover a decade. The core of his teaching philosophy is the belief that any student, given enough time and structure, is capable of learning the content background, acquiring the reasoning skills, and gaining the test experience necessary to be successful on the MCAT. When he’s not teaching, Ali is cooking, hiking, or following sports.

Alexander

MCAT 522

Education: University of Pennsylvania, MD (Expected 2026); University of Oxford, MSc Global Health Science and Epidemiology; King’s College London, BSc Biomedical Science

For Alex, the MCAT is about so much more than memorizing science facts: it is a carefully crafted puzzle box of a test that anyone can learn to crack. As an instructor for the Live Online Course, Alex loves connecting MCAT concepts to everyday life and reinforcing that the skills developed for the test will come in handy every day as a practicing physician. Alex got a perfect 132 on the Bio/Biochem and Psych/Soc sections after self-studying for the MCAT within the British educational system. A former rower at Oxford and King’s College, he especially enjoys teaching physiology, anatomy, and experimental design. Alex is attending the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine.

Taylor

MCAT 523

Education: Stanford University, MS in Bioengineering (’20), BS in Biology (’19)

Taylor has been tutoring college-level science courses since 2013 and assistant teaching full classes since 2019. As a full-time tutor and instructor for Blueprint, she loves getting to work with students from a wide variety of backgrounds and tailoring content and strategy to meet them where they are. Taylor earned a 99th percentile MCAT score with perfect 132s on both CARS and Psych/Soc. She wants to help each of her students achieve their own goal scores by building a toolbox of diverse tricks and strategies that go beyond content knowledge alone. No matter what, she strives to make your MCAT prep time as engaging, accessible, and efficient as possible. When she’s not discussing science or test-taking strategy, Taylor enjoys reading sci-fi, seeing musical theater performances, and exploring Seattle.

Trevor

MCAT 519

Education: University of California, Santa Barbara B.S. in the Biological Sciences (Distinction in the Major)

Trevor has been teaching the MCAT since 2020 and believes that tutoring not only serves the purpose of helping students better understand difficult material, but also provides them with the opportunity to discover how they learn best. He most enjoys being a part of those breakthrough moments when a certain learning approach just seems to click and previously difficult material begins to be understood with ease. Prior to becoming a tutor, Trevor worked as a clinical EMT in the MedSurg/ICU department of a critical access hospital and enjoys spending his free time either grilling, snowboarding, or competitively powerlifting.

William

MCAT 522

Education: University of California, Davis; BS in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology

William has been teaching and tutoring since 2015 and loves sharing his enthusiasm for learning with others. His favorite part of teaching is seeing that metaphorical light bulb when a student grasps a challenging topic. William was a student of Blueprint to study for his own MCAT and loved the experience so much that he wanted to apply his skills toward helping other premed students prepare for their big exam. He particularly enjoys teaching MCAT strategy and efficiency so that students are ready to tackle anything on test day. William knows that life can sometimes get in the way of studying goals. He lost several weeks of studying for the test due to a major surgery; however, with careful planning and using the tools provided by Blueprint, he was able to overcome this obstacle and get a 522 on test day (99th percentile). When he is not pursuing his passion for teaching William loves to snowboard, surf fish, backpack, play video and board games, and play soccer.
