Meera

MCAT 528

Education: University of Toronto Medical School (2026), McMaster University, Health Sciences

Meera has been actively involved in tutoring since 2019, in all subjects ranging from languages to the sciences. For her, teaching is all about harnessing the individualities of each student to find the study strategies and approaches that work best for them! She hopes to share her experiences, blunders, and lessons she’s learned along the way of studying for the MCAT to help people along their path to success. Meera is currently in medical school in Toronto, and works with student-led equity, diversity, and inclusion initiatives to promote equity within STEM. In her spare time, she loves playing the guitar, scrapbooking, and taking pictures of food.

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.

Julia

MCAT 525

Education: Yale School of Medicine, University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), Psychobiology

Julia studied for and took the MCAT in 2021, and joined Blueprint because she wanted to teach for the company that reshaped her entire approach to the MCAT! To Julia, teaching means more than just lecturing on content and solving problems; she believes that a central part is helping individuals find their motivation and develop a mindset of consistency. Julia got a perfect 132 on both the Bio/Biochem and Psych/Soc sections, and is passionate about helping students find their own optimal studying approach. She obtained her bachelors degree at UCLA, and is an avid clinical researcher in emergency medicine and plastic surgery. In any spare time she gets, you’ll probably find her lifting heavy weights, curating her prized Spotify playlists, or wandering the grocery store aisles for fun.

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 524

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.
