Hi Everyone! I am an Ivy League Medical Student that provides comprehensive teaching services to students of all ages. I specialize in tutoring biology, chemistry, and physics to high school and college students. I also have years of experience preparing students for the MCAT exam. As a published author in a competitive research journal, I translate my background in writing towards helping clients with composing assignments of all types. Above all, I am an admissions consultant with a unique, highly effective style of guidance. As an applicant, I prepared a phenomenal application that not only allowed me to interview at Harvard Medical School but also to receive competitive scholarship packages from some of the best schools in the nation. It is my pleasure to do the same and more for my clients in their journeys of undergraduate and graduate school admissions.

As my countless satisfied former students will tell you, I understand how to help each student thrive! Whether I have 2 weeks or 2 months, I develop very thorough study plans that fit each student's hectic schedule, teach the fundamental concepts comprehensively, and provide my students with test-taking strategies that succeed even under time pressure.

Here are just some of my students' achievements:

January 2024 MCAT: 496-520 (1 month of tutoring)
January 2024 MCAT: 511-519 (10 days of tutoring only!)
January 2025 MCAT: 503-520
AP Classes: 5 AP Chem, 5 AP Calc AB, 5 AP Calc BC (1 month of tutoring)

I look forward to working with you and helping you succeed!

I have received an A in every science class that I have ever taken and received a perfect 800 on the SAT II Chem Exam. I have helped increase my students' AP scores from a 3 on practice exams for AP Chem and AP Bio to a 5 in as little as 4 weeks.

I received a 518 on the MCAT on my first attempt. I have helped countless students increase their scores to as high as 520 and by as much as 8 points in just 10 days! My students average a 10 point increase in as little as a month!

Rob is AMAZING!

I found Rob about a month before my MCAT exam and I wished I have found him earlier! Not only did he patiently guide me through each question to demonstrate the strategy, but he also helped me identify my weakness and build confidence in answering questions. He also provided me with a tailored plan day by day, leading up to the exam date, which helped me to stay focused and consistent, even while working full time. With his dedication and support, I have seen a significant score increase just within a few sessions. As a medical student himself, he is knowledgeable about the current admission process and provided me with such valuable insights without having to pay thousands of dollars. He truly cares about students' success, well-being and has never failed to put me in a positive mood even when I felt like I was hitting a wall. When there is an obstacle, there is Rob and he will always find a solution! I am so fortunate to have met Rob in my medical school journey who supported me as a tutor, and as a friend who I could fall back on any time I needed!

Excellent tutor

Rob is an excellent tutor and dedicated mentor. He explains concepts very thoroughly and is extremely patient with students. He provides consistently accurate assessments of his students. He demonstrates deep understanding of the MCAT subjects and explains complex topics in a simplified manner. I would highly recommend him for your MCAT journey.

Wants to know the WHY

He’s very good at calming me down and working through the parts where I struggle specifically. He is also very good at understanding and asking WHY I chose certain answers over others which is extremely helpful compared to just seeing I got one wrong and then moving along. He’s helped me eliminate answer choices to better select the correct answer!

Thank you Rob!

Working with Rob has been one of the most impactful experiences of my academic journey. I started working with Rob towards the end of my MCAT prep. I was consistently scoring 10 points below my goal score, and I was extremely stressed. This is when I started meeting with Rob. From our first session, it was clear to me that Rob was not only a knowledgeable and skilled tutor but also a genuine source of encouragement and support. In under three months, with his guidance, I was able to achieve my goal MCAT score. What made the biggest difference wasn’t just changing the way I studied and what testing strategies I used, but how Rob helped me build confidence in myself. He constantly reminded me to take credit for my hard work and achievements, which completely shifted how I saw my own capabilities. Even during the admissions process, Rob remained an uplifting presence. He helped me draft my narrative, polish my secondaries, and prepare for interviews. With his support, I was accepted into my top-choice medical school, and starting this July, I’ll become the first in my family to begin medical school. I am deeply grateful to have had Rob by my side throughout the journey. His support went beyond academics. I truly felt that he believed in me, and because of that, I’ve learned to believe in myself too. Thank you, Rob, for everything.

An Invaluable Guide from MCAT to Med School Admissions

Rob is, without a doubt, one of, if not the most exceptional tutor I’ve ever worked with. I started working with him while studying for the MCAT, and what began as subject review quickly evolved into a comprehensive journey through the entire premed process. Rob doesn’t just help you answer questions, he helps you understand how to think through them. His methodical yet flexible strategies gave me clarity, confidence, and the structure I desperately needed, especially while juggling other responsibilities. Beyond MCAT content, Rob provided consistent motivation, emotional support, and practical advice that made the entire experience far less overwhelming. What really sets Rob apart is that he doesn't stop at test prep, he genuinely invests in your success. He helped me make sense of the admissions process, from evaluating schools to shaping my narrative. His insight was thoughtful, honest, and grounded in real experience. Rob is more than a tutor! He’s a mentor and a cheerleader! His encouragement kept me going even when I felt stuck, and his belief in me often helped me believe in myself. I can’t recommend him enough to anyone navigating the MCAT or the road to medical school.

Makes you believe in yourself

Working with Rob was one of the best decisions I made during my premed journey. From the very beginning, he did not just teach me how to study for the MCAT. He completely transformed the way I approached the process. His structured guidance helped me build a study plan that worked for me, but what stood out the most was the confidence he instilled in me throughout the entire journey. Preparing for the MCAT can be overwhelming, and I had moments of doubt, but Rob was always there to keep me grounded and motivated. On test day, I walked in feeling calm and focused, knowing I had put in the work with the right guidance. I walked out proud of my performance. Rob did not stop at just test prep. He played a big role in helping me understand the admissions process, offering insight into everything from school selection to crafting my story. Even though I submitted my AMCAS application later than ideal, I was still accepted into multiple MD programs and over ten DO schools. That meant the world to me. If you are looking for a tutor who will not only help you study smarter but also make you believe in yourself, Rob is the one. I truly could not have done it without him.

Unbelievable MCAT Results in 6 weeks!! An outstanding person as well!! - A Paren'ts Perspective

Rob was such a blessing to our daughter. She had become discouraged after her practice tests were not showing the progress she was hoping for and was 6 weeks out from her MCAT test date. She was putting in the work, it just wasn't translating into the scores she wanted to see. In steps Rob! We had Googled MCAT tutors just trying to help her in any way we could and stumbled across Wyzant. Rob's profile stood out to us with his awesome reviews and results! Honestly, we were a little skeptical at first so we wanted to talk to Rob before we gave the green light to our daughter. Rob called us, answered all of our questions, was professional, and courteous, and encouraged us that he could help improve our daughter's score in time for her test. She worked with him twice a week (2 hrs per week) for 6 weeks and he was able to teach her strategies and techniques that resulted in an 8-point bump on her actual MCAT results she just received this month!!! I would recommend Rob all day, every day!

Top Tier Tutor

working with Rob was hands-down one of the best decisions I made on my journey to medical school. When I first started, I was overwhelmed by the entire process. But then Rob stepped in—calm, focused, and incredibly supportive. What sets Rob apart isn’t just his impressive knowledge of the MCAT, but how he teaches. His steady, calming presence was exactly what I needed during high-stress moments. He never rushed, never judged, and always had a way of explaining even the trickiest concepts in a way that truly clicked for me. His strategies were anything but cookie-cutter. Rob customized every session to fit my needs, helping me not only boost my MCAT score—from a 496 to a 508—but also navigate the written components of my application with care and insight. His guidance helped me understand and express my own story with clarity and confidence. Because of Rob’s support, I felt fully prepared walking into my interviews—and I ultimately received three medical school acceptances. I’m now in the amazing position of choosing the best fit for me, and I truly couldn’t have done it without him. I can’t recommend Rob enough. If you're looking for a tutor who brings smart strategy, a deep sense of calm, and a genuinely supportive spirit to every session, Rob is the one. Thank you, Rob!

Best tutor of all time (MCAT and more)

There are not enough words to describe how phenomenal Rob is at his job. After being stuck with little improvement while studying for my MCAT, I found Rob and wish I had found him from the start. He taught me how to use resources effectively, strategies for answering (passage and independent), and constantly created new study plans that targeted my weaknesses and further solidified my strengths. It is thanks to him that I was able to score my dream goal (+512) with a 9 point increase from the time that I met him. At times when I felt hopeless, Rob never gave up and continued to be honest and creative in his teaching. His unwavering support and encouragement is a 5 point boost on its own. You will not regret a single session and will not find another tutor as dedicated and motivated to help you as Rob, whether it’s for MCAT, medical school applications, or your typical academic class. As a tutor myself, I learned what it means to be honorable and truly care for your students. He is the best! Thank you Rob!!!
