Evan MCAT: 527

Education: Duke University School of Medicine (2028); University of Kansas (2022)

Evan began his teaching journey in 2020 as a tutor in genetics, organic chemistry, and biology while he was an undergraduate at the University of Kansas. After Evan took the MCAT in March 2021, he took all he learned from his experiences and joined Blueprint's team, where he has been teaching and tutoring the MCAT ever since. For Evan, tutoring and teaching are about unlocking the potential that students already possess within themselves.

Angel MCAT: 521

Education: Harvard Medical School, MD; EST (2028); Johns Hopkins University, BS. Neuroscience (2022)

Angel has always had a passion for breaking down the most complex of terms and concepts into fun, simple, and digestible forms. She started teaching/tutoring in 2017, helping her classmates/friends in her anatomy/physiology and microbiology courses to memorize and understand the extensive, often overwhelming, information. Her aim is always to make the most effective, though often comical, connections between the subject matter and something guaranteed not to leave your head.

Angel spent about 4 months studying for the MCAT while a full-time student. Also working in two neuroscience research labs and testing during her finals week, she learned the importance of balancing her schedule and using intensive school and academia to her advantage by passively relating her daily experiences to MCAT fundamentals to build deeper connections. From her initial diagnostic exam, Angel had a 20+-point increase.

When it comes to the MCAT, her motto is “nothing is ever too hard, and everything is interconnected.” Angel especially enjoys the puzzle analogy for the MCAT, looking at every question and concept as fitting in with another.

Outside of teaching, Angel is now a full-time medical student at Harvard Medical School and MIT (Health, Sciences, and Technology MD Track) and a part-time neuroscience fanatic. A self-care aficionado, Angel spends her free time doing yoga and Pilates, most often while doing a face mask (sometimes while reciting random neuroscience facts).
