About Andrew

Bio

Hi, I'm Andrew! I'm new to Wyzant but have been tutoring & teaching for over 10 years. I provide individually tailored teaching to students in high school, college, and medical school. I specialize in tutoring biology, chemistry, and anatomy/physiology, as well as the MCAT and the USMLE Step 1 & Step 2 exams.

Many of my previous students have scored between 10 and 20 point increases on their MCAT or USMLE after tutoring, and A's and A+'s in college biology, chemistry, and related...

Hi, I'm Andrew! I'm new to Wyzant but have been tutoring & teaching for over 10 years. I provide individually tailored teaching to students in high school, college, and medical school. I specialize in tutoring biology, chemistry, and anatomy/physiology, as well as the MCAT and the USMLE Step 1 & Step 2 exams.

Many of my previous students have scored between 10 and 20 point increases on their MCAT or USMLE after tutoring, and A's and A+'s in college biology, chemistry, and related subjects. My students often have great increases in their scores in as short as a few weeks of tutoring. No matter what your situation is, I will develop a specialized, comprehensive study plan to fit around the rest of your busy schedule and help you excel academically.

I have received an A in every science course I have taken, and had over a 4.0 GPA in graduate school. For USMLE Step 1, I scored in the 99th percentile (266) and for the USMLE Step 2, I scored a 265 after 3 weeks of studying. On the MCAT I scored in the 99th percentile (522). I have published in various academic journals, and interviewed and taught at various universities, which I translate to my tutoring to help you succeed in the academic topic you need.

All of my science, USMLE, and MCAT students receive a personalized day-by-day study plan until their exams, test-taking coaching, and turning content weaknesses into strength. All tutoring is tailored to achieve the highest score for you, even if time is short until your exam or assignment is due.

Please reach out for more information or if you would like to talk more about how I can help you. I'm excited to work with you to achieve your academic goals and reach academic excellence!

Career Development

Career Development

I have worked with many students over the years in identifying, establishing, and refining mid- and long-term career dreams and creating practical step-by-step plans by which to achieve them. Previous mentees in this regard have gone on to become medical students, PhD students, physicians, clinical researchers, public health professionals, business founders, and scientists.
Epidemiology

Epidemiology

I have tutored epidemiology with various students for several years throughout graduate school and took several graduate-level courses on the subject!
Genetics

Genetics

I achieved perfect grades in honors genetics in undergraduate, have taken several graduate-level genetics courses, and my primary scientific research heavily relies on personalized medicine and various related genetic concepts. I have tutored various students in genetics at both the undergraduate and graduate-levels - either to pass their courses to reach the next level, or to achieve a perfect grade!
MCAT

MCAT

I scored a 522 (99th percentile) on the MCAT, previously taught as an MCAT instructor and tutor for a professional test preparation company. I have tutored countless students in the MCAT including those who were retaking the exam, and achieved significant score increases. I specialize in test-taking skills, strategy, mentality, personalized study schedules and turning content weaknesses into strengths. Prior students have gone on to receive acceptances at Ivy League medical schools!
USMLE

USMLE

I scored a 266 (99th percentile) on USMLE Step 1, and have worked with numerous students to improve their USMLE Step 1 scores and pass the exam. I focus on teaching you how to think exactly as necessary to answer USMLE style questions. We review questions, strategy and test-taking skill set, mindset, content, and scheduling together to create the ideal process for you - and I am available everyday as your coach along the way.

Amazing tutor! Very patient and knowledgeable.

Andrew is the best tutor I’ve had. He was great at breaking down complex topics and teaching practical strategies for tackling CARS and science questions. He found my weaknesses and taught me how to fix them, and changed my view on how to take the exam. His patience and clear explanations made everything so much easier to understand. In my time with him I feel like I learned more than I had in months of previous courses. After applying the techniques he showed me, my MCAT score eventually increased 14 points from my initial test! If you are looking for a tutor who is highly knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely invested in your learning and success, Andrew is the one! I could not recommend more highly as a tutor.
