FANTASTIC TUTOR!
Working with Max was one of the best decisions I made in preparing for my fellowship interviews. The value I gained from our mock interview sessions was truly exceptional. Max’s structured approach and insightful feedback completely transformed the way I approached interview questions. He taught me how to effectively highlight my positive qualities, provide meaningful examples of how I’ve demonstrated them in the past, and articulate how I plan to apply those same strengths to excel during fellowship training. Each mock interview felt like a real experience, and by the end of our sessions, I noticed a remarkable improvement in both my confidence and delivery. Max’s ability to identify subtle areas for refinement, while keeping the sessions supportive and encouraging made all the difference. During me interviews, I felt composed, prepared, and genuinely ready to showcase my best self. I would wholeheartedly recommend Max to anyone preparing for residency or fellowship interviews. His teaching style, professionalism, and depth of experience make him an outstanding resource for anyone aiming to perform at their highest potential.

Incredible Tutor
Max was an incredible tutor and was instrumental in helping me improve and ultimately achieve my goal score for Step 2. I met with Max after four weeks of dedicated study, during which I had seen no improvement in my NBME scores. He was able to break down my score reports and help me develop a targeted plan with specific changes I could make to bridge the gap between where I was and where I wanted to be. Our sessions were well organized and tailored to the types of algorithms and concepts that the NBME tests. He had an excellent grasp of what was high-yield and was able to point me toward areas for review that proved to be the most worthwhile and effective use of my time. I was most grateful for his positive attitude and encouragement throughout the arduous process of preparation, as it helped me remain hopeful and see a finish line even when I struggled to see one myself. I cannot recommend Max enough for Step 2 preparation—I only wish I had found him sooner in my preparation.

great tutor
Max is a great tutor. He makes use of every minute of the lesson and understands time constraints that come with residency. He is realistic and will meet you where you’re at to help you do well. On our first lesson, he broke down a study schedule and techniques, which was very helpful for me. Definitely a great decision to have a session with him

Timely help and valuable advice
Max O. was instrumental in helping me to achieve the USMLE step 2 score of over 260+. He was patient, detailed, and broke down the steps to take when answering questions. My confidence and test-taking skills improved with just a few sessions with him. Thank you Max.

Residency Advisor - Max is Amazing!
I cannot recommend Max highly enough as a residency application advisor. Working with him was an absolute pleasure - he is not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also genuinely supportive and invested in his students’ success. Max provided thoughtful and strategic guidance throughout every stage of my application and interview processes. He coached me on how to effectively answer interview questions, helped me to develop meaningful and tailored questions to ask each program, and offered invaluable insight into navigating my relationships with mentors. His advice on finalizing my rank list was invaluable. What truly set Max apart was how prepared and confident he made me feel going into my interviews. I always felt supported, encouraged, and equipped with the tools I needed to succeed. Thanks in large part to his guidance, I ultimately matched at my top choice for residency in a highly competitive field. I am incredibly grateful for his mentorship and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone pursuing residency.

Best tutor I've had
Max provided an actionable, detailed daily study schedule that I can use to keep myself accountable. He made me feel like I can trust the process and focus on learning medicine as opposed to continuing to worry about my study strategy.

Max is phenomenal!
I scheduled a two hour session with Max to prepare for my med school interview. He was punctual, very professional, highly knowledgeable, and very well-mannered. He broke things down in an easy to understand process and was very efficient and effective with our time. He went through my personal statement and other school materials before our tutoring session. You can tell that Max is passionate about what he does and care about his students.
