Alexander

MCAT Score: 524

Education: University of Florida, BS Statistics , Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine, MD

For Alex, MCAT instruction is focused on understanding the individual student and developing sustainable study habits that will persist into medical school and beyond. He most enjoys it when students start to love subjects that were initially frustrating to them. Alex received a perfect 132 on the Chem/Phys section and loves reminding students of interconnected science concepts. He helps students develop strategies and critical thinking skills to answer questions correctly, even in content they have never seen before. His background in Statistics provides students with the necessary data literacy essential to all MCAT sections. Currently, Alex leads Music for Medicine, a nonprofit dedicated to connecting individuals in central Florida with intellectual and developmental disabilities to local high school and collegiate musicians. As an aspiring physician, he hopes to pursue a career in academic medicine, focusing on disabilities in society, the humanities in medicine, and artificial intelligence in medicine.

Hellen

MCAT Score: 522

Education: Boston University, BS Chemistry, University of Connecticut, MS Molecular and Cell Biology

Hellen has been teaching and tutoring since 2018. Working with students from varying backgrounds, ages, and experiences, she knows that there is no single “right” way to think or learn. The MCAT is an intimidating experience for many people and the months leading up to it can be overwhelming and stressful, but it doesn't have to be. Studying for the MCAT after taking several gap years and while working a full-time job, she believes that the key to successful test preparation is finding balance. With so many accessible resources, blogs, and recommendations it's easy to spread yourself thin, wasting precious time and mental bandwidth on ineffective prep strategies. To Hellen, it’s not just about the hours spent studying but also managing your schedule, taking care of your physical health, and maintaining your mental well-being. Using a balanced approach, Hellen scored a perfect 132 on the Psych/Soc section and is passionate about helping students understand their unique learning style to curate effective study plans and reach their goals. In her spare time, she can be found traveling to new cities, developing her coffee-making skills, or tackling a new fitness challenge. See more

Bilal

MCAT Score: 523

Education: University of California, Los Angeles, BS Physiological Sciences

As a student who faced challenges when preparing to take the MCAT, Bilal understands the mental struggles that come with taking the MCAT beyond the content knowledge. The MCAT is a high-pressure exam and test anxiety is real. Bilal loves to provide the confidence and reassurance for his students to work through that anxiety to reach their true potential. Having tutored undergraduate chemistry and biology since 2020, he has experience working with a variety of students and learning styles. Bilal scored a perfect 132 on the Psych/Soc section of the MCAT, and believes that everyone has the potential to achieve similar success. While the content is the most intimidating aspect of the MCAT, proper strategies and test-taking tips are almost nearly as important in being able to crack the MCAT. Watching students work through problems and have those ""lightbulb"" moments are the highlights of his time spent teaching. He hopes to experience those moments with all the students he works with! Currently, Bilal works as a healthcare consultant at a healthcare consulting firm in Los Angeles. When not working, Bilal loves to surf the waves, play beach volleyball, hit the gym, or play chess (despite being not the greatest at it)."See more

Ganen

MCAT Score: 526

Education: University of Pennsylvania, BS Neuroscience, Perelman School of Medicine, MD

Since embarking on his teaching journey in 2022, Ganen has found a deep sense of fulfillment in guiding peers through the challenging subjects like Organic Chemistry II and in volunteering with local high schoolers in West Philadelphia. There is something incredibly rewarding about watching a concept click for a student who previously struggled with it. This transformation from uncertainty to confidence, is what fuels his passion for teaching. Ganen's personal academic journey is marked by achieving perfect scores of 132 in both the Chemistry/Physics and Psychology/Sociology sections of the MCAT while balancing a full course load. These scores are a testament to the power of strategic studying, proving that with the right approach, the MCAT does not have to be daunting. Ganen is currently looking forward to starting medical school at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania in the fall of 2024. In his spare time, Ganen finds joy and relaxation in baking, watching/playing basketball (avid Oklahoma City Thunder fan!), and weightlifting.See more
