Hello! My name is Polo and I am a recent UCLA graduate, now working as a UCLA Neuroscience research apprentice until I start medical school. During my time at UCLA, I was part of the Learning Assistant program in the sciences, and eventually became Head Learning Assistant. My responsibilities included applying evidence-based learning techniques in UCLA STEM classrooms, as well as teaching other Learning Assistants on how to more effectively foster learning in their classrooms.

Hello! My name is Polo and I am a recent UCLA graduate, now working as a UCLA Neuroscience research apprentice until I start medical school. During my time at UCLA, I was part of the Learning Assistant program in the sciences, and eventually became Head Learning Assistant. My responsibilities included applying evidence-based learning techniques in UCLA STEM classrooms, as well as teaching other Learning Assistants on how to more effectively foster learning in their classrooms.

I have been tutoring for seven years now, as I began tutoring math in high school. I scored in the top 1% nationwide on the SAT, with a score of 1540, and I am passionate about helping students maximize their potential on the SAT! I also earned the College Board's award of National AP Scholar, having taken 12 AP Exams and scoring the highest score possible on seven of them. (I have listed my scores at the bottom of this page)

I possess the skills to do well on standardized tests, and I also have the passion and experience to teach those skills to motivated students! If you would like to maximize your potential in academics, feel free to message me to schedule a one-on-one tutoring session.

Best MCAT Tutor!

Polo was the best tutor I could've gotten. He displayed easy to understand explanations and self-drawn visuals of topics that I didn't understand, and had also provided unique advice of how to prepare that I had never heard of online. I highly recommend him!

Haris, 5 lessons with Polo

Packed a lot in a lesson

Our 1st lesson started off rocky because for some reason we couldn’t get out link to connect to Polo. But once we got on, he started right away reviewing information that my son needed in prep for AP Bio. He was even stayed later to accommodate for our late start. Very professional, thorough and knowledgeable
