Hello!

I scored in the 99th percentile on the MCAT and have 7 years experience tutoring/mentoring, including 2 years full-time.

After graduation I went on to do a prestigious one-year international Fulbright fellowship in Asia where I worked as a full-time teacher whiling learned teaching strategies and curriculum development in an intensive setting.

With three years experience across many different subjects (including all sciences, history, and English) I am prepared to teach any kind of student, no matter where you are in your MCAT preparation.

I am offering a personalized tutoring experience where we identify the best way for YOU to succeed. My tutoring recognizes your strengths and weaknesses as a student and creates a study plan that best sets you up for success. This differs from test companies who follow a strict curriculum and treat students like numbers.

I am available to tutor individual MCAT sections short term or do an all-inclusive course.

A personal accomplishment of mine is helping a student go from a 123 (35th percentile) to a 130 (98th percentile) in the Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills (CARS) section in just a month's time.

I personally started off with a sub 500 score on my MCAT diagnostic so I understand how to improve from a low score to a very high score. I have been tutoring students 1 on 1 for the MCAT for the past and have even worked with two major prep companies before.

If you're interested, please contact me to discuss further details!

MCAT

I am a trained former teacher who scored in the 99th percentile on the MCAT and have been tutoring it for the past 7 years. I have teaching credentials as full-time teacher through the Prestigious US Gov. Fulbright Program and have transitioned to tutoring the MCAT full-time, having worked with hundreds of students including both first-time MCAT takers and retakers. I have helped students increase their scores from <500 to >515+ and from <510 to >520+. I specialize in CARS and have helped students reach their CARS goals in <1 month as I focus on teaching how to approach CARS the way AAMC intended. Whether you are a first-time taker or a retaker, I have worked with all types of students and look forward to helping you!

Highly Recommended Tutor

Ali helped my CARS score tremendously. I was stuck around a 124/125 just 3 weeks before my exam. Through learning his question strategies and timing strategies I was able to get a 130 on my actual MCAT which put me in the 98th percentile. I highly recommend Ali to anyone looking to improve their score.

Knowledgable and quick

Ali is super fast at identifying points where you are going wrong. He's also really sweet but tells you what you need to hear in order to succeed. His rate is so, so reasonable considering the amount of information, advice, and help he manages to pack into one session. Also, his availability is super flexible and he's really willing to work with you to find a good time for a session.

Very knowledgeable and informative

Ali was super helpful in providing feedback for my AMCAS personal statement. He shared with me a lot of tips on how adcoms might read my essays and his suggestions have led me to significantly reworking the structure of my statement with more emotion and depth. Thank you Ali!

Knowledgeable and meticulous

Ali is amazing. His approach to tutoring is different in that he learns about how you study so that he can best help you. He is very encouraging during sessions and gives you a boost of confidence. I really also admire his detailed explanations; they are very useful. He also provides great tips!

MCAT Orientation

We went over how to go about studying for the MCAT with the current content I have. I really like his way of keeping you accountable to the finishing content! I know my success is on the horizon :)

Kimberly, 2 lessons with Ali

Knowledgeable and encouraging

Gives a personalized study schedule to follow along with other MCAT tools and materials. Teaches you how to think about CARS. He has you log in you work everyday to keep you on track. These last couple lessons have been very helpful and I plan to do more.

Jennifer, 12 lessons with Ali

Conscientious and knowledgeable

Ali has helped my son to work on one of his BA/MD essays. He is very authentic and conscientious, telling us what is important and needed in a good essay for Med program. He does not withhold his knowledge. We truly appreciate his good advice.

Donny, 2 lessons with Ali

Supportive and knowledgeable

This was my first session with Ali, we went over areas I needed to work on for future sessions. He gave me a lot of confidence that we will be able to get to my target score by giving me concert steps and goals to meet in the meantime. He is really patient and good at explaining different topics. Would definitely recommend!
