I specialize in providing individualized, down-to-earth premed science instruction. As a Duke University-trained MD with over 20 years of tutoring experience, I am uniquely qualified.

I also have significant experience in standardized test preparation, having taught for both Kaplan and The Princeton Review, and scored in the 98th+ percentile on the PSAT, SAT, MCAT, and GMAT.

My approach is to help my students build a solid understanding of the core concepts. This method ensures they can navigate both familiar and novel scenarios with ease.

Above all, I find a way to make the material stick. Former students have praised my knack for converting the most difficult concepts into common-sense ideas. I infuse my sessions with humor and quirky anecdotes, all in service of making our sessions fun and memorable.

This approach yields results. My students consistently achieve top marks. Moreover, several have been accepted into top-ranked medical and graduate programs.

I love what I do, and it shows. Nothing compares to the feeling of helping others achieve their goals!

Chemistry

Chemistry

Tutoring Chemistry has long been a passion of mine. Chemistry is a subject that many students unnecessarily fear. However, with a little help and guidance, anyone can master the subject! You will be surprised by how accessible the material can be when presented in a down-to-earth manner. Over the years, I have crafted and honed techniques that turn even the most difficult concepts into easily understood ideas. It has been a great thrill of mine to watch my students earn extremely high marks, while becoming the envy of their classmates. I have taught both General and Organic Chemistry to students for over 15 years. I would be delighted to have the opportunity to help you ace this class!
Organic Chemistry

Organic Chemistry

Do not let Organic Chemistry keep you from achieving your academic and/or professional goals. There is no need for students of mine to fear this "weed-out" class. I have over 15 years of experience tutoring this subject. Over the years, I have crafted and honed techniques that convert even the hardest concepts into common-sense ideas. After the basics are mastered, it is quite easy to build upon them in such a way that the subject as a whole becomes almost procedural. It thrills me for my students to excel in Organic Chem. And, I would be delighted to have the opportunity to help you do just that.

Kind, Intelligent, and Qualified Science Tutor

Quin is an extraordinarily kind and highly knowledgeable tutor who is sure to help any student in need of help with biology, chemistry, or physics. He takes the time each session to evaluate what skills you need the most help with and presents the material each time in a way that is approachable and not only helps you get the answer correct but helps you understand why that answer is the right one. His level of expertise is unmatched by any other tutor I have met. Quin is even willing to review any homework questions or material you need help with before the session so that your time in session is spent more effectively. He has an incredibly nurturing and funny bedside manner that makes the session enjoyable but at the same time challenging as he pushes you to your full potential. I cannot recommend Quin more highly for any science or MCAT subject tutoring; he is sure to please.

Great concept explainer

As a biochemistry major who struggles in chemistry Dr. M is very good at explaining concepts and goes in depth until you understand. He makes sure you understand why something is happening rather than just accept the answer. I would highly recommend Dr. M to anyone who is struggling in chemistry or just wants the extra help, Dr. M has your back!

Knowledgeable, accommodating and so easy to understand.

I highly recommend Quin as an organic chemistry tutor! My son, had a few sessions with him before his exam, and the improvement was remarkable. Quin's deep knowledge of the subject and his ability to explain complex concepts in an understandable way made a significant difference for my son. He was not only easy to communicate with but also incredibly accommodating to our schedule. Thanks to Quin, Zac felt more confident and prepared for his exam than he had all semester. If you're looking for a dedicated and effective tutor in organic chemistry, Quin is the one to choose!

Incredibly knowledgeable and always there for you!

Quin is exceptionally sharp and knowledgeable, and I could not have asked for a better support system throughout my accelerated summer Orgo II course. His experience shines in his ability to answer questions in a heartbeat. He even answered all my frantic, pre-exam questions within a few minutes over text outside of our scheduled sessions. In our lessons, Quin would provide helpful tricks and tips to remember the most complex mechanisms and slowly walk through complex concepts that my professor breezed through. It is clear Quin is extremely capable and smart, but he is also very caring, checking in with me after exams and reassuring me of my abilities before exams. He was also mindful of my career path and offered me valuable pre-med advice and connections. Overall, I would recommend Quin as your organic chemistry tutor if you are looking for someone who is thoughtful, knowledgeable, and flexible, but yet challenges and pushes you to be the best student you can be!

Knowledgeable and Patient

Working with Quin was an absolute pleasure. His deep knowledge of organic chemistry and his exceptional patience truly stood out. Despite my lack of recent exposure to general chemistry and the fast-paced summer course format, Quin tailored a learning plan that suited my needs perfectly. He was incredibly understanding and accommodating, taking the time to address my struggles with various concepts and explaining them in a way that made them much clearer. I highly recommend Quin to anyone in need of a dedicated and knowledgeable tutor. His supportive approach and expertise make him an excellent choice for students looking to excel in organic chemistry.

Quin cares about your success

Before meeting Quin Organic Chemistry was gibberish. I couldn't rap my head around any of the concepts and was just hoping to get a pass in the class. From the beginning Quin asked for all the material from my class so he go through it to make a tailor-made study plan in order to for me to succeed. Quin and I met for 3 weeks and that was enough time to end the year with the second highest grade in the class. All I can say is thank you Quin and if you want to succeed in your chemistry class then you know who to talk to.

Very Experienced and Knowledgeable Tutor

I took Orgo 2 with Quin and my choice to have him as my tutor throughout the whole semester is one I will never regret! What I love about him is that he has so much experience on teaching this subject that he really knew the ins and outs of any professor, as well as all the tips and tricks on how to easily memorize concepts. My professor had an atrocious unorganized way of teaching and without Quin I am not sure I would have done well in this course. I would highly recommend learning from him. He also cares for you as a student very much and will always be there to invest time for you if you have questions while preparing for exam, and be your personal guide when necessary. Can't thank him enough and I absolutely recommend him to anyone who is afraid of Orgo.

Quin is the best!

Quin is the best tutor I have ever had, hands down. He is very knowledgeable about organic chemistry and always comes prepared for every session with a thorough lesson plan that consistently keeps us ahead of the class. Quin has the unique ability to distill complex organic chemistry topics into their simplest elements to find the most effective way to approach each problem type. On numerous occasions, Quin has shown me a unique method for solving a problem that was far faster and easier to implement than the method taught in class. This helped me confidently solve exam problems faster and with more accuracy. Our lessons usually begin with a short review of the weeks content followed by several practice problems that we work through together. Quin is very patient and easy to learn from. He always answered my questions in an accurate and meaningful way, and never made me feel bad for not understanding something. Overall, Quin is an amazing tutor that I recommend to anyone who is worried about taking orgo. With his help, I was able to achieve an A- in Organic Chemistry I and an A in Organic Chemistry II.
