Introduction

Thank you for visiting my page! I specialize in tutoring premed prerequisite courses and MCAT material, including general chemistry, physics, organic chemistry, biochemistry, psychology, sociology, and biology (anatomy and physiology, genetics, cell biology). I scored top 1% in the nation on the MCAT and have subsequently received multiple medical school acceptances, giving me a unique insight into structuring study plans and keeping my students accountable as they prepare to apply. With years of tutoring high-level courses, I am well-prepared to help my students on their academic journey and I can't wait to join yours!

I am beyond grateful for Julia’s help with O-Chem. Her explanations are easy to follow and apply. Her tutoring structure keeps you ahead of the coursework, and the practice she provides makes you look at course material more critically. I chose to hire Julia after registering for my third and final attempt at passing o-chem 2, and I passed with an A in the course. I cannot recommend her enough!

My daughter was struggling with her Honors Algebra and Chemistry class when I decided to seek tutoring for her. That is when we found Julia. Julia has been of great help to my daughter. Julia is very patient, knowledgeable and clear! She was able to explain concepts to my daughter that were easier for her to understand. My daughter had great progress with her help and her grades definitely reflect Julia’s help. Julia gave me frequent updates on my daughter’s progress and always kept me in the loop. She is very flexible with her availability, punctual and quickly responds to any question parents/students may have. I would highly recommend Julia!

Julia was amazing! She helped my daughter pull out a B in AP Biology when she was failing! And did it in less than 4 weeks. She is extremely organized and very helpful. My daughter hit it off with her immediately. Highly recommend her for tutoring!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing is based on how advanced my student is in their studies.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I always begin with an evaluation of my students' current knowledge based on their work done in school, after which I suggest a personalized plan to tackle their goals based on how much time they have before their next test, end of the semester etc. I always tailor my teaching to my students' personal needs. No student is the same nor do they all learn in the same way so I adapt my teaching style to best serve them.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am currently a medical student at the Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University. I completed my undergraduate at Loyola University Chicago graduating Summa Cum Laude with a B.S. Biochemistry with Honors and a B.S. Molecular/ Cellular Neuroscience with High Honors. Due to my rigorous coursework, I am very familiar with the standards set upon college students and I myself have struggled and preserved through this material. I know what it takes to ace the dreaded "weed-out" classes of STEM and I know how to guide my students to success. Likewise, in high school, I took many AP classes including AP Biology, AP Chemistry, AP Physics 1, and AP Physics C among many others, giving me a unique and very recent perspective for mastering these difficult courses.
