More About Timothy
Hey! Most people call me Tim, I’m an Internal Medicine Resident at Brown, and I’m looking forward to helping you overcome your MCAT and application challenges.I joined MCAT Self Prep as a student, then as a writer, editor, and finally as a tutor in 2017. Since then, I have spent thousands of hours working with the MCAT and tutoring students, helping them target their specific weaknesses.
Although all MCAT Self Prep tutors can teach any aspect of the MCAT, I take pride in helping students improve their passage reading skills, including CARS. I have always prioritized comprehension strategies and having a simple, consistent reading approach, and I’ve shared that approach on our old Live Science Strategy Sessions and in tutoring sessions. Read my testimonials to see some of the great results from this!
Preparing strong weekly study plans is also a major priority with students I work with. It can be hard to know what resources to use, what to focus on, and how to balance your time and avoid burnout. As new challenges come up, we can adjust your study plan to keep you on track and meet your goals.
The other aspect of my work as Head Tutor for MCAT Self Prep is as editor of our practice questions and Quizlet sets. I have written or edited all of our 5,000+ flashcards and led our AAMC Style Discrete Questions project. If you have submitted feedback on them, you may have already heard from me! And if you ever wanted to ask about these practice questions in a session, I am more than able to help.
Outside of residency and MCAT work, I do my best to stay fit and stay in touch with friends. Despite my busy schedule, I’ve maintained a consistent gym routine and started running long-distance. I highly recommend building time to exercise and socialize into your MCAT journeys, since these will only help you in the long run and can prevent burnout!
I can’t wait to be your friend and mentor as you prepare for the MCAT. Whether you have issues approaching passages, applying content knowledge, or even with timing, I can give you my strategies to solve MCAT problems quickly, efficiently, and most importantly, consistently.
If you are interested in working with me, simply scroll down and sign up for the tutoring package of your choice. Or, if you have some questions before signing up, feel free to reach out for a free 10-minute phone consultation using the form at the very bottom of the page!
I’m looking forward to talking with you soon!
Best,
Timothy

“Timothy was an excellent tutor, he provided flexible hours for tutoring sessions. I work a full time job so it was great that he offered evening hours on both week days and weekends. Timothy’s strong suit was not only knowing how to explain complex problems in multiple ways to help me understand them, but also looking at how I was doing on my practice tests and understand a root problem and helping me address the issue. This came in handy when I was consistently doing poorly on my chem/phys section despite continuous studying, Timothy took one look at my exam and found the overarching problem, he saved me hours of useless directionless studying and was able to help me direct my studying toward more useful information. He also helped explain concepts that had previously been extremely difficult to me, I went from getting almost all my physics questions incorrect to getting 70% correct on my AAMC practice questions. He also thoroughly prepared for each tutoring session, to the point that I now have a wonderful study guide from his notes. Timothy has the perfect personality for a tutor, he is the correct amount of honest and optimistic, which is a wonderful combination when studying for the MCAT. Timothy’s expertise was invaluable for my studying. “

“Tim was an exceptional tutor through helping me prepare for the MCAT! He helped me understand several chemistry and biochemistry concepts by explaining to me in detail why I missed certain questions, and pasted helpful charts into my tutor portal to help me grasp the concepts even more. He always had my questions answered in the portal before the tutoring session began and was very flexible with his appointment times. He has a great personality and is very easy to get along with! Tim helped me increase my score by 16 points since my previous attempt at the MCAT last year. He also tremendously helped me with my personal statement and other essays for my medical school applications. He gave me helpful advice of how to rearrange my personal statement and fixed several minor mistakes in each of my essays. Thank you, Tim!!”

Ryan
“Tim helped me improve my score dramatically in the two and half months I worked with him, going from a 504 to a 517. He helped me target my weak points, especially in CARS, and gave me clearly defined steps in order to improve my reading comprehension and test taking strategy. He also helped me develop a study plan tailored to my needs which kept me on track and motivated to study. He not only helped me improve on the MCAT, but he also gave me professional advice for medical school as well as general life skills such as interviewing strategies. Overall, Tim is an excellent tutor and a great friend, and I am happy to have found him through MCAT Self Prep!”

“After taking the MCAT once and struggling with the Chem/Physics section, I decided to use MCAT Self Prep and their tutor Tim for my retake. With Tim’s help, my Chem/Physics score increased by 4 points before test day. Tim is extremely knowledgeable and is able to provide clear explanations for difficult concepts. If I wasn’t grasping a concept, he would present it in multiple different ways until I had a solid understanding. He is also great at helping you break down tricky passages from all sections. Tim was essential in helping me plan my study schedule – especially a month out from my MCAT, where he helped me pinpoint what resources I should use and how to best spend my time to ensure I was prepared on test day. Tim is very personable and makes each session enjoyable and fun, he was invaluable to my MCAT study journey and I would HIGHLY recommend him as a tutor!”

“Timothy did a great job honing in on the gaps in my knowledge and making sure I felt confident in my understanding. He is enthusiastic about subject materials and finds interesting comparisons and examples, so his explanations leave a lasting impression. I highly recommend Tim if you are looking to improve your confidence and knowledge base by test day!“

Melinda
“Timothy has been great because he is always prepared and has learned how to best explain things to me. After a few times working together, Tim and I had a good system where I could tell him what I need to focus on ahead of time, and he would come ready with explanations that went deep at the root of my issues. He gave great examples that made the tougher parts of physics and psychology make intuitive sense to me, instead of just answering one question and moving on. He would even encourage me to explain sticking points back him to make sure I really, really understood one concept before we moved on. Tim is so accessible and fun to work with!!“

Areebah
“When I started tutoring, I learned different techniques on how to improve my CARS score. CARS is a section I constantly struggle with on the MCAT and the CARS strategy course paired with tutoring helped me to improve my CARS score. While doing the CARS passages, Tim really helped me walk through the passage to understand it better and explain why the correct answer choice was correct and how to best apply those techniques I read about.”

“Timothy has been such a great tutor! I started with him a month before my test and he helped me feel a lot more confident and calm about the test. He really helped give me great strategies for CARS and helped me feel a lot more confident in the C/P section. He was also super flexible and worked with my schedule. I highly recommend working with Timothy!”

“Timothy is a great tutor and I would most definitely recommend him for his ability to teach concepts. I was struggling with some of the anatomy-based concepts (kidneys especially) and he was able to break down passages and problems for me and taught me how to do the same. His methods really helped me gain a better understanding of the subject. He does not just tell you the answers or ask leading questions like some tutors do, but he takes his time and explains things slowly to make sure I totally grasped the material behind the questions. He has a pleasant personality and is fun to work with, and I would highly recommend him if you’re looking to boost your MCAT scores!“

Kevin
“Although I was not understanding concepts at first exposure, Timothy was so patient with me and I can’t thank him enough for that. My score improved significantly after working with Timothy. What made the most difference was Tim being honest with me in what I had to focus on first and be able to plan ahead with my grad school schedule. Tim is personable and uses easily understood analogies to explain concepts. It was generally easy to schedule appointments with Tim, and most importantly, Tim was always prepared to start each tutoring session. During these many months of studying, I made the choice to continue with my other commitments of research, tutoring, weekly volunteering, and speaking at conferences while I was studying for the MCAT. Although this may have been detrimental to my study schedule, I always had amazing guidance with Tim. Tim was definitely able to accommodate his teaching style to my learning style and pace of learning so that made a huge difference for me.”
