About Ali


Bio

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 a full-time teacher through the Prestigious US Government 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 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 a full-time teacher through the Prestigious US Government 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.

While I specialize in CARS, I also tutor many students for the entire MCAT with a focus on teaching you how to properly study. I am up to date with all the newest study materials, Anki, and question banks. I believe I can maximize our sessions by creating a daily schedule, teaching you how to study properly, and then using our sessions to go over your weaknesses/question strategy. I can help with accountability by providing daily study logs as well.

I believe many students can improve in CARS quickly by learning the proper framework to approach AAMC CARS passages/questions with. Many third-party prep companies have not been able to properly emulate AAMC CARS which is why their strategies may not lead to success on MCAT CARS. I will prepare you to do well on MCAT CARS based on the AAMC style!

If you're interested or have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out. I offer a free consultation to all students where we can talk about your needs and what I can offer as a tutor.

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.

Game changing CARS tutor

Many other CARS tutors just tell you the same reasoning behind the answers to passages with the hope you can comprehend the text in time. But Ali is so much more and he truly transformed how I look at CARS passages. I wanted to feel confident in my answers and not just hope that I understood the passage properly and Ali did just that. He gave me tips to go through answers and new ways to read and pick through the questions to make them easier to understand and choose an answer I was confident in. He also pushed me to find my own reasoning to answers without just telling me it, if I had no clue. I went from a 125 to 130 on the CARS section and I am so grateful for his help!

Best CARS Tutor

Ali is a phenomenal CARS tutor. I highly recommend him to anyone struggling with CARS. He makes the passages very easy to read and gives you strategies of what to look for in the question and answers.

no improvement in cars for 3 months -> immediate improvement working with Ali

I was working with someone else who was having me do third party resources for the CARS section on the MCAT and for three months I saw no improvement. I knew something wasn’t right and that their approach wasn’t working for me and I’m so glad I finally trusted my gut and decided to reach out to Ali. Within one session I had massive improvement and was very relieved! I highly recommend

Knowledgable and has great strategies

Ali has been able to improve my score by a few points within a couple lessons and has helped me understand CARS passages and how to answer questions in a much better way

Aarav, 6 lessons with Ali

Amazing!

Ali was great tutor. After I took the MCAT in March, I was very unhappy with my score and was looking for a tutor who would guide me to success. Ali was awesome at telling me exactly what I needed to do to prepare for the next time I took the MCAT. He gave me a specific schedule. During sessions, he would teach me strategies and how to best answer questions. Even when some question seemed subjective (as many do in CARS), Ali helped me breakdown the question to answer it objectively. Overall, Ali significantly improved my practice score by 9 points. I could not be happier with his tutoring style.

Patient and attentive tutor

Ali is a patient tutor who gauges your strategies and learning based on how you respond to various types of questions. Thanks to his methods, I was able to pinpoint my strengths and weaknesses and build upon them for taking the CARS section

Jayo, 7 lessons with Ali

Best MCAT Tutor Out There!

If you are looking to improve your CARs score, or generally improve your test-taking strategy on the MCAT, there is genuinely nobody better than Ali. He only uses AAMC materials because they are the most representative of the actual test, and he very patiently talks you through 1) how you should read passages 2) how you should read questions and 3) how to be confident in your answers. Every student who has the chance to work with him is extremely lucky and will surely succeed. I could not give him a higher recommendation.

Very Effective, Patient, Reassuring

Ali taught me methods of how to critically think as I read a passage and how I should be thinking when I answer questions. It totally changed the way I approached CARS and made hard questions seem more manageable and straightforward, and my accuracy on questions has increased a lot. When I began the sessions, I had very little confidence in my CARS ability and Ali increased my CARS confidence greatly.

Amazing tutor! Worth every penny.

Ali is amazing! He is so patient, friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. I can already see so much improvement from our sessions. Highly highly recommend him to anyone!
