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 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 15 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 and above is the most common score and I want to help you get there!

My cancellation policy is 12 hours in advance and at this point in time due to high demand - I operate out of our Montclair - New Jersey office in person and tutor a significant amount via Wyzant and 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.

Great teacher

Kevin helped my daughter review for her Organic Chem final. She said he was incredibly helpful and very smart. We plan to continue working with him in the future.

Stacey, 1 lesson with Kevin

Accommodating and intelligent

Kevin was so wonderful scheduling a session last minute . More importantly, he is so intelligent and adjusts to the student. Highly recommend Kevin as he was a perfect fit for my son

An incredible tutor

Kevin has tutored me since my freshman year in chemistry, physics, and organic chemistry. He is an incredibly knowledgeable and patient tutor who has a multitude of tricks to teach that make approaching the subject matter easier. I have worked through worksheets, problem sets, and practice exams with him numerous times, and have always left each session with a deeper knowledge and feeling very prepared for my exams. I highly recommend!

Stuti , 59 lessons with Kevin

Patient, smart, helpful!

My daughter said Kevin was smart and able to explain complex ideas simply. She’ll be asking him for more help in the future. She will be getting test results back soon, and that will be interesting to see.

Lawrence, 2 lessons with Kevin

great tutor!

Mr. Kevin explains in detail and in a way that I understand. He’s very patient with me and reminds me that no question is a stupid one. He makes this process comfortable for me.

Nica, 11 lessons with Kevin

Extraordinary

I had my first session with Kevin in college organic chemistry. The ease with which he teaches, the knowledge are incomparable with any other tutor. I intend to continue.

Victoria, 12 lessons with Kevin

Brilliant and patient tutor

Kevin simplified complex chemistry concepts. He’s brilliant, patient and went out his way to make sure I understood the concepts. I just needed one review session to feel more confident about taking chemistry next semester and he went over several concepts and answered all of my questions in the span of an hour.

Krish, 1 lesson with Kevin

Best tutor

Kevin was very thorough and had clearly reviewed all the materials we sent him to assess where our son needed help. Highly recommend him. Gave very comprehensive notes of the session and homework.
