I am very happy with our experience so far with Varsity Tutors. They matched my daughter with reading specialist Mary and she is wonderful! My 10 year old daughter feels happy after her sessions and believes her tutor has already helped her.

Beck

Certified Tutor

Hi! My name is Beck Jacobsen (they/them). I am a graduate of Wesleyan University (BA in Chemistry, Molecular Biology & Biochemistry) and the University of Virginia School of Medicine (MD). I completed 1.5 years of family medicine residency training before deciding to leave residency to become a high school science teacher.

Throughout college and medical school, I tutored a variety of subjects, including chemistry, biochemistry, sociology, anatomy, and physiology. I have experience with MCAT prep through Varsity Tutors and love the opportunity to work with each of my students. I often work with students who feel stuck below the 500 score mark. We work together to identify content areas to focus on and go over study and test-taking strategies. I love watching students' confidence grow as they sharpen their testing skills and realize their full potential.
