Adrian L.

As a teaching assistant at Brown University, Adrian tutored pre-med students during office hours and weekly recitations, refining the one-on-one teaching skills that keep students engaged and improving. He also created approximately 1,000 Anki cards for introductory neuroscience, covering the entire course. This deck was used by 250+ students and helped reduce study time while boosting exam scores. His grasp of high-yield strategies makes him a strong tutor for students balancing the MCAT with jobs, classes, or other responsibilities.

Adrian has also volunteered for hundreds of hours on a crisis hotline and as a Spanish medical interpreter at a free clinic, shaping his compassionate, student-centered approach. Adrian worked full-time at Rhode Island Hospital, conducting clinical research on pediatric suicide prevention. This builds on his earlier published research on how trauma influences meditation-related adverse effects, now with a closer focus on immediate clinical interventions.

As a QuestBridge and Gates Scholar, Adrian worked throughout all eight semesters and four summers at Brown, including the summer he studied for the MCAT. This experience fueled his drive to find time-saving strategies, which helped him earn a 4.0 GPA and a top MCAT score. 

Now, he helps other pre-meds learn time management strategies, offering support for content review, breaking down different passage and question types across the four sections, and tackling complex figures. Adrian aims to teach MCAT strategies and approaches that prevent burnout and get results. Adrian knows the best resources for scoring 515+ on the MCAT, making him an excellent tutor for students aiming for 90th percentile scores or higher.
