Hi everyone!

I am an Ivy League medical student and an experienced educator who has worked with over 2,500 MCAT students.

My approach combines personalized strategy with confident test-taking.

MCAT Preparation

I earned a 518 on my first attempt and have helped students achieve 515+ scores on official MCAT exams. In 2026 alone, two of my students scored 523, three scored 520, and ten scored above 515. I have celebrated similar successes with students year after year.

Some of my students' improvements include:

496 to 520 in one month

511 to 519 in just 10 days

503 to 520 in one month

I build a personalized strategy around each student's strengths, weaknesses, and timeline. I identify obstacles and guide passage analysis, reasoning, study priorities, and exam-day strategy.

USMLE and Shelf Exams

I prepare students for Step 1 and NBME shelf exams. Having scored above the 90th percentile on multiple shelf exams, I emphasize clinical reasoning, diagnosis, and management.

Surgical Outcomes Research

I conduct research with leading surgical outcomes groups and have published peer-reviewed work. As I pursue a competitive surgical specialty, I help premeds plan research, mentorship, and clinical experiences early.

AP and College Sciences

I continue to teach AP Chemistry, AP Biology, and college-level chemistry and biology. I earned A's in every science course and an 800 on SAT II Chemistry. I have helped AP Chem and Bio students move from 3s to 5s in as little as four weeks.

Admissions Consulting

This year, my students received 10 interviews at Ivy League and other Top 20 institutions. Over the years, students I have advised have interviewed at or been accepted to medical schools including Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Penn, and Duke. In an era of AI writing, I help students stand out with authentic essays, secondaries, and interviews that convey genuine passion for medicine.

I look forward to working with you!

I am an Ivy League medical student with extensive experience teaching AP Biology and college-level biological sciences, including Anatomy, Physiology, Genetics, Microbiology, Molecular Biology, and Developmental Biology. I have helped students improve their course grades by an entire letter grade and raise their AP Biology scores from 3 to 5 in as little as four weeks. My medical education and ongoing research in surgical outcomes allow me to connect foundational biological concepts with real-world clinical applications. I tailor each student's preparation to their strengths and weaknesses, emphasizing conceptual understanding, scientific reasoning, and effective examination strategies.

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!

Cannot Recommend Rob Enough!

I genuinely cannot recommend Rob enough to anyone preparing for the MCAT! When I started working with him in June, I had been stuck at the same score for a while and was struggling to figure out what I was doing wrong. Rob immediately recognized that even though I had spent months reviewing content, I had forgotten a lot of what I originally learned. Rather than just telling me to review everything again, he took the time to create an incredibly detailed study schedule tailored specifically to my weaknesses, breaking down exactly what I needed to accomplish every single day, practically hour by hour. What impressed me most was how quickly his approach worked. After just ONE WEEK of following his schedule, I saw a significant improvement on my very next practice exam! He helped me realize that studying for the MCAT isn't just about putting in hours, but knowing exactly how to use those hours effectively. He was always supportive, patient, and genuinely invested in helping me reach my goal. Looking back, the section I struggled with most on my actual MCAT was also the one I spent the least time working on with him, which really speaks to how effective his tutoring was in every other section. I ultimately earned the score I needed, and I truly don't think I would have gotten there without his guidance. If you're feeling stuck with your MCAT preparation or aren't seeing results despite studying constantly, I cannot recommend Rob enough. He completely changed the way I approached studying, and I'm so grateful for all his help!

Fantastic!

I have only had one session so far but Rob was/is extremely professional yet down to earth and incredibly knowledgeable! I can already tell he knows so many different tools and tips for MCAT success and tailors to individual needs and areas of concern.

Personalized and Detailed - Highly Recommend!

Rob was extremely helpful and personalized throughout the whole process. He worked with my individual strengths and weakness to create a tailored plan for me. Each day was broken down hour by hour with the exact subjects and what to do. He was available for questions anytime and provided outside resources that had worked for previous students. My test day score improved significantly from my practice tests, and my CARS score increased 3-5 points just in the short time I met with Rob.

Fantastic MCAT Tutor!

Rob is an absolutely fantastic tutor. He goes above and beyond to understand you and truly listens to your needs before rushing to advise. He is also a fantastic and fast-paced tutor who really knows his stuff! I was struggling with the pace of the MCAT, and he helps you think fast and be decisive while working through questions. Not to mention, he is a hilarious and kind guy who can get you in the right headspace, given that the whole MCAT study process is extremely challenging. He is a truly exceptional and well-rounded tutor!

Best tutor!

Rob is an exceptional MCAT tutor who truly stands out. He’s incredibly thorough and took the time to understand exactly where I struggled in my previous attempts. Instead of a generic approach, he created a structured plan tailored specifically to my needs. What impressed me most was how well he diagnosed my weaknesses and addressed them directly. He also genuinely believes in his students and their goals, which made a huge difference in my confidence. After spending a year with a tutoring company that never took the time to properly assess or guide me, working with Rob has been a completely different experience. I finally feel like I’m in good hands and my dreams of going to medical school are finally attainable.

Thoughtful and Patient

Rob gave me really valuable, personalized advice for my situation and helped me develop a much clearer plan for my upcoming MCAT. Despite being a busy medical student, he took the time to understand my challenges and guide me toward effective strategies. I also really appreciate his uplifting attitude, it made the whole process feel a lot more encouraging and manageable. I’d definitely be interested in continuing sessions with him and would highly recommend him to anyone preparing for the MCAT!

Wonderful and patient

My son just started with Rob and thinks he is amazing. He's taking honors Biology and struggled with his last test, but Rob already helped clarify what he didn't understand. My son is really excited to continue working with Rob for many months to come!
