"Hey! My name is Tauseef. I graduated from Duke with a self-designed major focused on addiction and then completed an MPhil in Social Anthropology at Cambridge––both on full-merit scholarships. After two years of TA’ing for an undergrad writing class and tutoring computer science courses, I’m glad to continue mentoring students here.

A year-ish ago, I scored in the 100th percentile on the MCAT with a 525 (CP:130, CARS:131, BB:132, PS:132) after 3-4 months of self-studying while juggling a part-time job. Prepping for the exam was tough, and I made tons of mistakes along the way. Now on the other side, I want to guide students and make sure they are positioned to do well.

My goal is equipping you with personalized approaches that help you leverage your strengths and cover your weaknesses. By going over MCAT-style passages in slow-motion, I want to help you not only identify knowledge gaps and master content but also apply what you’ve learned to AAMC-style questions.

While I tutor all MCAT sections, I enjoy helping with CARS the most. For my undergrad thesis in literature, I examined demonic possession narratives. For my master’s dissertation in social anthropology, I worked on an ethnography of psychedelic churches in the Bay Area. I enjoy using my humanities background to help students dissect passages thoughtfully, interpret dense or abstract ideas, and keep track of arguments. Although improving in CARS can feel daunting, I firmly believe making significant progress in this section is possible, no matter the starting point. I’m here to help you make this section click for you.

I also provide guidance on using tools like ANKI decks, equation sheets, and content outlines, as well as maximizing the value of third-party resources. I also help create personalized study plans tailored to individual circumstances, like time commitments or financial considerations.
