Yes I am the the Real Organic Oracle, Chemistry Sage, Physics Phenom, MCAT/DAT Magician and I also do a lot of Math prep too! MIT PhD Grad with an insane desire to educate and inspire!

My passion is to work with students of all ages (Middle School through Graduate Programs) in Science and Math. My goal is to teach/mentor/inspire and help students gain confidence in all things Science and Math!

I have a specific passion for Mentoring and helping Pre-Medical and Pre-Dental students get into Medical/Dental School.

Organic Chemistry - with a Ph.D. in hand - we will systematically work through concepts, mechanisms, reactions and synthesis to help gain confidence in the material - I can teach the whole course front to back in advance or help you throughout the semester!

Chemistry (College), Chemistry AP, Chemistry Honors - I tutor this regularly and have a passion for showing students faster methods for solving problems (tricks so to say) and also deeper understanding of Chemical Principals.

Physics (College), Physics AP, Physics Honors: I love explaining the approach and principals behind Physics as it applies to the world we live in - I have systematic methods for problem solving that help students excel.

MCAT CP Magician: We will first identify weaknesses through content rating - then a 3 tier approach where we address those weaknesses - focus on passage efficiency and approach - then the testing phase. With over 20 years in MCAT prep experience and helping improve student scores to 510 and above with numerous 520+ scores.

DAT Master: I work on the Chem, Orgo, Quant, PAT sections - we take a 3 step approach, identify weaknesses - address them - then strategy in mastering the test! 21 (>450) and above is the most common score and I want to help you get there!

My cancellation policy is 24 hours in advance and at this point in time due to high demand - I tutor almost exclusively online with Zoom!

By far the best tutor for anyone pre-med, stem, etc.

Kevin tutors in a no-nonsense, speedy, experience-proven manner. This is why I return to him throughout my undergraduate and post-graduate education! He provides a strategic and personalized approach to each of his students, and I am sure to see phenomenal results with him in the future (and have already in the past). This is by far the best tutor available for you or your student.

Excellent chemistry tutor

Kevin has been extremely helpful with chemistry. He does a great job of breaking down difficult concepts and explaining them in a way that is clear and easy to understand. He is also very patient with all of my questions and always makes sure I understand the material before moving on. After our sessions, I feel much more confident with the topics we’ve covered and better prepared for class. I’ve really enjoyed working with Kevin and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great chemistry tutor!

Super knowledgeable, supportive tutor!

Kevin has been instrumental in my ability to master the various concepts in my organic chemistry class, many of which can be quite challenging. He is patient and supportive, explaining things in a way that is clear, concise, and easy to grasp. He is also always on time and professional. I really feel like I have someone in my corner who is both an expert in his field and an advocate for my success. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of some extra help with their studies!

Great teacher

Kevin is teaching my 10th grader both chemistry and calculus, and he is great! He is knowledgeable, patient, and explains concepts clearly. My daughter is learning well and gaining confidence in both subjects.

Nimar, 3 lessons with Kevin

Meets, Beats, and Decimates Expectations!

I needed help preparing for the Praxis Chemistry test. Kevin quickly analyzed what I was telling him I needed and he hit all the right spots. He has short but thorough and understandable explanations of things like LeChatelier's Principle and redox reactions. Not only that, but he was incredibly patient and communicative without being chatty. He's worth his weight in uranium!

Nancy, 1 lesson with Kevin

Extremely Knowledgeable Tutor!

I didn't realize how intense my class workload was going to be this semester but Kevin stepped in and he has helped me tremendously with both Organic Chemistry and Physics. His knowledge has been a valuable asset to me and my studies. Thank you Kevin!

Derick, 8 lessons with Kevin

Knowledgeable and Thorough

Kevin was a great chemistry tutor. He was knowledgeable and did an awesome job explaining everything in a way that actually made sense. I also really appreciated how prepared he was going into the session. You could tell he put a lot of thought into it beforehand. My son only had one session with him and already learned so much. We’ll definitely be booking more sessions with Kevin and would highly recommend him!

Best OCHEM Tutor - For real

Dr. Kevin is the best tutor for Organic Chemistry. He knows the advanced subject matter very well and is able to explain difficult concepts clearly, efficiently and patiently. He tutored me through the semester and was instrumental in helping me get an A grade in OChem2. I could not have done it without Dr. Kevin's assistance. If you are reading this review in search of a great tutor, look no further and get with Dr. Kevin.
