Bianca

Certified Tutor

Hi! I recently graduated college from WashU and am passionate about removing as much frustration from studying as possible! I graduated with an A average GPA with A's in general chemistry (I&;II), Introductory Biology (I&;II), Organic Chemistry (I&;II), Physics (I&;II), and their accompanying lab sections. I also worked as a Peer Led Team Learning Instructor and a peer tutor throughout college so I am comfortable working 1:1 and in groups, making sure my students stay engaged and maximize our time together.

I take an integrative approach to tutoring, ensuring that we review topics holistically and work on how to attack the problems you might see on quizzes and exams. I find this approach keeps students from being overwhelmed with background information and helps them feel like they can tackle homework and practice problems on their own.

I am currently on my gap year before medical school. I've taken the MCAT twice, first scoring a 515 and then a 518. Since then I have been tutoring in all MCAT subjects and I am confident I could help a student reach any score goal. I am comfortable working with students with a variety of study time frames whether that be 6 months or 6 weeks.

I have a general MCAT study approach that I find works for 90% of my students, but I am always open to feedback and tailoring my approach for each of my students. I am familiar with most if not all available MCAT materials (UWorld, Kaplan, Princeton, AAMC, etc.) and I can make recommendations on what materials to purchase so that you and your family don't waste time and resources on materials that aren't representative of the actual exam.

Before college, I took both the ACT and the SAT, scoring a 35 on the ACT and a 1580 on the SAT. I'm happy to work with student on test prep and also college applications and college counseling.

For my college students, I strive to change my tutoring methods based on my students, whether that be making beautiful study guides, making flashcards, or writing songs or short stories that help create a story of the not-so-fun information we have to learn.
