About David

Bio

Hi, I'm David! I am a student at the University of Florida specializing in MCAT test prep and premed advising. I recently achieved a 525 (100th percentile) on the MCAT, with a breakdown of 132 in CARS, 132 in P/S, 131 in B/B, and 130 in C/P. My journey to a near-perfect score wasn’t easy; but I raised my score by nearly 20 points using a rigorous methodology originally developed by my brother, a 525-scorer and current medical student at NYU Grossman.

Hi, I'm David! I am a student at the University of Florida specializing in MCAT test prep and premed advising. I recently achieved a 525 (100th percentile) on the MCAT, with a breakdown of 132 in CARS, 132 in P/S, 131 in B/B, and 130 in C/P. My journey to a near-perfect score wasn’t easy; but I raised my score by nearly 20 points using a rigorous methodology originally developed by my brother, a 525-scorer and current medical student at NYU Grossman. I now focus on teaching this same systematic approach to help other students break through their score plateaus and master the exam's unique logic.

My tutoring philosophy centers on the idea that the MCAT is a test of critical thinking just as much as it is a test of content. I provide my students with a targeted lesson plan and a comprehensive study schedule designed to eliminate guesswork. We dive deep into specific strategies for the toughest sections, particularly CARS, where I help students transition from "passive reading" to the "active analysis" required for a perfect 132. Beyond content review, we work on individualized lesson plans that include simulated test environments and high-level data analysis of practice exams to identify and fix specific reasoning errors.

I bring over three years of dedicated one-on-one teaching experience to my sessions. Before transitioning to the MCAT, I spent years tutoring high school students for the SAT and ACT, successfully helping many of them gain admission to their dream universities. This background in standardized testing allows me to explain complex concepts in a way that is digestible and repeatable. Whether you are just starting your premed journey or are looking for that final push to reach the 99th+ percentile, I am here to provide the expert guidance and premed advising you need to succeed.

I earned a 525 composite score on the MCAT, highlighted by perfect 132 scores in both CARS and Psych/Soc. My tutoring approach moves beyond simple memorization to focus on 'test logic,' helping students deconstruct complex passages and identify trap answers. With a 130+ in every section, I provide comprehensive guidance on everything from high-yield biology pathways to the critical reasoning skills required for a top-tier score.

Caring, Effective, Knowledgeable MCAT Tutor

If you're looking for a MCAT tutor, I would 100% recommend David! 1) Caring I'm on a rushed timeline for the MCAT, which can make the test feel even more daunting and stressful than it already is. Even with limited time, David breaks down the MCAT into an approachable manner and helps you develop a study timeline that prioritizes understanding for topics and practice problems. He has an amazing attitude and is super encouraging, and shares and provides additional resources to supplement the study process. 2) Effective David breaks down the MCAT sections into a simple and digestible manner for practice and review. He plans out a balanced amount of practice questions to do each week that targets weak subjects while also having time for memorization and review. As a tutor, he walks you through great strategies for approaching the MCAT passages, from reading the passage to approaching answer choices. 3) Knowledgeable David is excellent at explaining different concepts and topics from all MCAT sections. He doesn't just lecture the topic and moves on after explaining; he makes sure you have a full understanding and can reason out the topic. No matter if you have a weak or a strong grasp of the content, David can guide you through any MCAT-related question.

knowledgeable and great altitude

Just had my first session with David and it went great. I’m on a short timeline and feeling the stress, but his attitude and test-taking strategies are excellent. He walked me through passages step-by-step, which made me feel so much more comfortable tackling them. Highly recommend, and I'm looking forward to working with him more!

David is very knowledgeable when it comes to test strategies and reading comprehension. He is excellent at explaining difficult concepts, is very patient, and encouraging. He is good at guiding you to the answer and teaching you how to think critically and effectively about each question and answer choice! Would highly recommend for the MCAT!
