Hello! I’m Denis, an MD/PhD student at Emory University and Georgia Tech in the Biomedical Engineering program, dedicated to helping students master challenging material and achieve their academic goals. I specialize in standardized test prep, primarily Step 1, Step 2, and the MCAT. I bring two years of one-on-one tutoring experience with test preparation companies and private clients. In that time, I’ve honed the ability to craft personalized lesson plans that accelerate learning and adapt sessions to the methods and strategies that best fit the learning style of the student. My four years teaching middle school science before starting my MD/PhD, combined with four years of educational outreach programs during medical school, have strengthened my ability to break down complex concepts into clear, approachable explanations. I work with students to not only understand the material, but also to build problem-solving skills and confidence that will serve them beyond the classroom.
My tutoring and teaching background is built on a strong track record of academic excellence. I scored above the 90th percentile on Step 2 and the MCAT, and successfully passed Step 1 which transitioned to pass/fail the year I took the exam. Throughout my academic career, I have maintained exceptional performance, earning a 4.0 GPA in both my PhD and Master’s programs, and a 3.96 GPA in my Bachelor’s degree. These achievements reflect not only mastery of challenging material but also a disciplined and effective approach to learning—qualities I bring into every tutoring session. My firsthand experience with high-stakes exams and rigorous coursework allows me to guide students with proven strategies and insights that help them succeed.
I offer a free 15-minute consultation to discuss goals, learning style, and a personalized plan for success. I ask for at least 24 hours’ notice for cancellations or rescheduling. If you’re ready to boost your exam scores, send me a message—I’d love to help you get there.
