Bio

Hi! My name is Alexander, and I recently graduated Phi Beta Kappa and summa cum laude from Harvard with a dual degree in Chemistry and Neuroscience. I am now a second-year medical student at UCSF and would love to help you prepare for the MCAT and/or applying to medical school!

I took the MCAT in January 2023 and scored 527/528 (C/P: 132/132; B/B: 132/132; CARS: 131/132; P/S: 132/132), a 100th percentile score. My experience in preparing for the MCAT taught me that developing a solid study...

Hi! My name is Alexander, and I recently graduated Phi Beta Kappa and summa cum laude from Harvard with a dual degree in Chemistry and Neuroscience. I am now a second-year medical student at UCSF and would love to help you prepare for the MCAT and/or applying to medical school!

I took the MCAT in January 2023 and scored 527/528 (C/P: 132/132; B/B: 132/132; CARS: 131/132; P/S: 132/132), a 100th percentile score. My experience in preparing for the MCAT taught me that developing a solid study plan and conducting regular, informed practice are the best strategies for testing success, bar none. At the same time, my experience in curating my own med school application and receiving offers from UCSF and Yale among other schools has made eager to share the insights I've garnered with others.

I am more than excited to help you develop the same strategies. I have been tutoring ever since middle school in a wide variety of subjects, and teaching is truly something I love to do. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions, and I look forward to working with you!

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

I can’t thank Alex enough for the incredible support and guidance throughout my MCAT journey so far. From our very first session, it was clear that he truly cares about his students’ success — not just as test-takers, but as people. His explanations were crystal-clear, breaking down even the most complicated concepts into something I could understand and remember. Alex is very honest and doesn’t beat around the bush. He will tell you the truth about the progress you’ve made and what to do to improve. I also deeply appreciate the fact that I can tell him about the things that are bothering me regarding my MCAT prep! Thanks Alex!

Knowledgable and Perspicuous

We mainly went over CARS passages and occasionally reviewed other topics in other sections I was having trouble with, such as the systems in the body. My CARS has, without a doubt, improved so much after learning from Alexander - reflected both in my confidence in tackling different passages and my scores. He provides strategies that you don't typically see in the Kaplan textbooks or other MCAT CARS guides, but they actually work and make sense. When he is explaining his tips and tricks, he explains in a way that is very easily digestible and you don't get lost in his words. In addition, Alexander has such positive energy and is always smiling when you first see him.

Supportive and Engaging Mentor with Personalized Approach

I met with Alexander last week and I appreciated his effort to bond with his students. He had a great smile and a positive vibe throughout the whole session, and he gave me his full, undivided attention. I also enjoyed that he took the time to understand my past MCAT strategies in order to better formulate his plan to align with my dream test score. He's a super friendly medical student who is eager to help pre-meds succeed.

Patient and awesome tutor!

Alexander is a really good tutor and I really wish I met him sooner for my MCAT prep. He is extremely patient and has a way of making you understand difficult MCAT questions in a very easy way. Preparing for the MCAT is difficult and he made it more manageable. He taught me techniques that I can use for test day especially for understanding difficult CARS passages and strategies on how to tackle complicated B/B questions.
