Patient tutor with an innovative approach to teaching
Davina , 23 lessons with IanIt was a great lesson. I am always taught how to prepare myself for the exam in unique ways that do not revolve around just question taking. I always feel like I am bettering myself as an individual and student in a more well-rounded way.
Hi, my name is Ian. I'm an M.D. and medical writer. I'm also an experienced tutor and academic coach. I currently tutor for the MCAT, USMLE exams, and shelf exams for medical students. I also provide medical school admissions counseling for pre-med students who need guidance for their applications. This includes mock interviewing, personal statement and AMCAS/AACOMAS activities descriptions editing, and help with identifying a list of schools to apply to.
I also tutor non-medical students...

Exceptional insight, knowledge, and empathy
Ian was an exceptional tutor with great insight into the construction, aims, and challenges of the USMLE Step 1 exam. I was impressed by his in-depth knowledge of the basic sciences despite being many years out from his pre-clinical years. And, Ian is someone who's taken an alternative path in his medical career, so I felt he was able to empathize with my general frustration over medical education. All these qualities made for very productive and meaningful sessions with Ian. Highly recommend!

Wonderful tutor!
Dr. F really helped me realize how ineffective highlighting can be if not used properly. He's been helping me identify my weaknesses and helping me develop better test-taking strategies.

Knowledgable, honest and gives great advice and feedback.
Ian has been insanely helpful with my medical school application process. He has helped me with interview prep, he gives clear feedback and ways to improve. He has also helped me with my personal statement and works and experiences section. He really is very attentive, gives honest feedback, doesn't sugar coat and makes beneficial changes. Regret not working with him earlier!

Knowledgeable and Excellent Tutor
For anyone reading this, I can't speak highly enough about Ian. He is one of the most intelligent people I've ever met, and by far the best tutor for medicine I've ever experienced. Going through questions with him single handily got me out of hole of bad habits and poor clinical reasoning that I couldn't have done on my own. And in his own humble way would not take an ounce of credit for it. He is very straight forward with his students in an effective way that manages to get the best out of you. Further, he actually cares and is invested in your success such that he notices patterns in your reasoning towards your mistakes and suggests actual solutions to those problems and ways to combat the errors YOU face- and not just what is common in successful medical students. - well unless you're a fan of highlighting. lol but regardless, he is a wonderful teacher that wont bulshit you about your life for 20 min and then listen to you read questions for 40. He will actually be engaged in a medical discussion and helping you come to reasonable conclusions yourself. His demeanor in this regard, was always professional and treated me with the upmost respect. If you're studying for step 2ck, And sincerely I imagine for anything else don't waste your time looking elsewhere just book Ian - you wont regret it.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor.
Ian has taught me how to approach CARS, genetic, and approach questions when I forgot the terms used. He is a great tutor and will change how you view the MCAT and studying for the better.
