Every student is different, and so I firmly believe that studying and learning habits should be tailored to each person. I make it...

...Northwestern University and then left the clinical setting to join an MCAT content development company I founded in 2011. Over the past year, I have coached several students on MCAT preparation.

...have a B.S. in Molecular and Cellular Biology from the University of Arizona. I've been on academic probation and truly understand what it's like to struggle with material. That struggle helps me to be a better teacher. I start medical school this fall, which goes to show that it does not matter if you have a difficult start. What does matter is how you choose to respond to challenges and what you do to overcome...

In my time as a teacher and...
