About Alex


Bio

Educational Background:
I am actively applying to MD-PhD programs and scored a 523 (99th percentile) on the MCAT, successfully breaking through the mid-510 plateau that many students face.

MCAT Expertise:
My strength lies in helping students overcome the challenging transition from good scores (510-515 range) to exceptional scores (518+). I understand the specific hurdles at this level because I've lived them—the 510 plateau requires a fundamental shift in test-taking strategy, content...

MCAT Expertise:
My strength lies in helping students overcome the challenging transition from good scores (510-515 range) to exceptional scores (518+). I understand the specific hurdles at this level because I've lived them—the 510 plateau requires a fundamental shift in test-taking strategy, content integration, and critical reasoning that goes beyond basic content review. I tutor all four sections of the MCAT with targeted approaches for each:

CARS: Developing efficient passage analysis and question prediction skills
Biological & Biochemical Foundations: Integrating research experience with high-yield concepts
Chemical & Physical Foundations: Translating complex problem-solving into test day performance
Psychological, Social & Biological Foundations: Mastering the nuanced application of behavioral sciences

My MCAT Journey: Through three official MCAT attempts, I systematically improved my score from 516 to 523, gaining invaluable insight into what truly separates 90th percentile performance from 99th percentile achievement. This journey taught me that breaking through score plateaus isn't just about studying harder. It's about studying smarter with refined strategies, deeper content integration, and a mastery of test-day execution. Proven Results: I have extensive familiarity with all official AAMC materials and have developed a comprehensive understanding of how the test is designed and what the test-makers are looking for. My approach has already helped a student break through their own plateau, improving from a 510 to a 519. I understand firsthand the frustration of being "stuck" at a good score and the specific adjustments needed to reach an exceptional one.
