About Eddie

Bio

I graduated summa cum laude from Northwestern University with dual Bachelor's degrees in Biological Sciences and Violin Performance, a combination that reflects both rigorous analytical training and the kind of disciplined, detail-oriented practice that carries directly into effective teaching. I scored a 1590 on the SAT and a 527 on the MCAT, and will be starting medical school at UT Southwestern in fall 2027 on a full scholarship. I specialize in mathematics and science, including algebra,...

I graduated summa cum laude from Northwestern University with dual Bachelor's degrees in Biological Sciences and Violin Performance, a combination that reflects both rigorous analytical training and the kind of disciplined, detail-oriented practice that carries directly into effective teaching. I scored a 1590 on the SAT and a 527 on the MCAT, and will be starting medical school at UT Southwestern in fall 2027 on a full scholarship. I specialize in mathematics and science, including algebra, calculus, biology, chemistry, and physics, as well as music theory and test preparation. I bring to each subject not just content knowledge but the ability to explain it clearly and accessibly.

Beyond my academic background, I have hands-on experience tutoring students, working as a teaching assistant, and mentoring peers in one-on-one and small group settings. I've worked with students from middle school through college, helping them shore up foundational gaps, prepare for high-stakes exams, and build genuine confidence in subjects they once found intimidating. That range of experience has made me a flexible, attentive teacher, one who knows when a student needs a visual approach, a step-by-step walkthrough, or simply a different way of framing the same idea.

My teaching philosophy is grounded in understanding over memorization. I focus on identifying where a student's reasoning breaks down, rebuilding from there, and equipping them with the problem-solving instincts to work through challenges on their own. I try to create an environment where questions are welcomed and mistakes are part of the process, because real academic growth happens at the intersection of confidence and curiosity.

Eddie is the GOAT - 10 out of 10 would recommend

I worked with Eddie for approximately 60 hours, and I can confidently say he is one of the best MCAT tutors I’ve worked with. Over the course of our sessions, we covered chemistry, organic chemistry, physics, biochemistry, and passage strategy across multiple sections. Eddie didn’t just teach content. He taught me how to think through MCAT passages and approach difficult questions systematically. His depth of knowledge is remarkable. There’s a reason he scored a 527. No matter what topic or question came up, he had a clear explanation and could break down even the most challenging concepts into something that made sense. Beyond his knowledge, Eddie is patient, encouraging, and genuinely invested in helping his students improve. Working with him was a privilege, and I came away from every session with a better understanding of both the material and the exam itself. If you’re looking to improve your MCAT score and get to the next level book a session with Eddie.
