About Jack
I help students make the path feel less random.
I am a UC San Diego graduate, former EMT, and incoming medical student. I scored a 518 on the MCAT and was accepted to 9 MD and DO programs.
Background
Recent enough to remember what the process feels like.
I know how easy it is to waste time on bad advice, vague study plans, and application edits that sound polished but do not say much. My job is to help students get specific: what is weak, what is working, and what to do next.
That applies whether we are reviewing a full-length exam, fixing a personal statement, or deciding which schools actually belong on your list.
By the numbers
Credibility without the weird tutor ego.
Tutoring style
Clear explanations, honest feedback, and less fluff.
I do not assume the problem.
A low score can come from content, timing, stamina, review habits, or the way a student reads passages. We find the cause before we chase fixes.
I explain the reasoning.
For science classes and MCAT passages, the goal is not just getting this question right. It is learning how to recognize the same pattern later.
I keep application advice grounded.
Good writing should sound like a person. Good advising should lead to decisions, not more anxiety.
