I received my B.S. in Biology/Pre-Health with a minor in English in 2013 from Spring Hill College - a small, Jesuit college in Mobile, Alabama. During my sophomore, junior, and senior years at Spring Hill, I worked part time as an appointment tutor helping students in a variety of subjects including general chemistry, organic chemistry, physics, and anatomy and physiology. I am now a first year medical student at Saint Louis University. My teaching style centers around the student mastering basic principles and then learning to combine and apply those basic principles to answer questions that, at first glance, appear far more complex than they actually are. This is particularly useful in timed testing situations such as the MCAT and ACT, when the chances of remembering a specific example of a complicated problem are slim. I know from experience the skills and concepts necessary to be successful in both the classroom and on the day of big tests like the MCAT and look forward to helping students do the same.
