About Jake

Bio

I taught science labs at the university level for half a decade. I have a professional background in teaching general and organic chemistry and know what methods are effective and which are not. Using a practical and affordable study method, I scored in the 96th and 98th percentiles on the Chemical and Physical Foundations of Biological Systems and Biological and Biochemical Foundations of Living Systems MCAT sections.

I taught science labs at the university level for half a decade. I have a professional background in teaching general and organic chemistry and know what methods are effective and which are not. Using a practical and affordable study method, I scored in the 96th and 98th percentiles on the Chemical and Physical Foundations of Biological Systems and Biological and Biochemical Foundations of Living Systems MCAT sections. I am excited to pass my knowledge and study strategies to those ambitious students seeking a high score on the MCAT.

Although I focus on MCAT prep, I would gladly discuss and tutor lecture material and assist in-class work.

I am open to meeting anytime that works for your schedule, primarily through a virtual platform. If you're unsure whether I cover the material you need tutoring, please reach out, and I will reply briefly.

MCAT

I graduated with a 4.0 GPA from Tennessee Technological University with an M.S. in Chemistry and an Organic Chemistry Focus. I have taught general chemistry and organic chemistry labs at TTU for the past four years and mentored students in chemistry and science. During my master's I constructed an affordable study plan that allowed me to attain a 130 score on the hardest section of the MCAT, "Chemical and Physical Foundations of Biological Systems." I have since shared my strategy and techniques with other students to help them increase their MCAT scores.
