Bio

After completing a B.A. in Applied Mathematics at Washington University in St. Louis, I spent a year teaching high-school chemistry and physics in an under-resourced charter school, where I learned to translate complex ideas into clear, actionable lessons. That skill set traveled with me through medical school at Mount Sinai—where I became a senior executive tutor—into internal-medicine residency, and now into my hematology-oncology fellowship.

After completing a B.A. in Applied Mathematics at Washington University in St. Louis, I spent a year teaching high-school chemistry and physics in an under-resourced charter school, where I learned to translate complex ideas into clear, actionable lessons. That skill set traveled with me through medical school at Mount Sinai—where I became a senior executive tutor—into internal-medicine residency, and now into my hematology-oncology fellowship. I later joined the admissions committee, reviewing hundreds of personal statements and conducting interviews that sharpened my sense of effective applicant storytelling. My research on cancer-trial design has been published in JAMA and honored by the American Society of Hematology.

My objective is to draw on this blend of teaching, admissions insight, and research rigor to help future physicians present their strongest, most authentic applications.

Hello! I am a 4th year MD student at an elite NYC medical school and am a rising internal medicine resident. I obtained a B.A. in Applied Mathematics from Washington University in St. Louis. I self-studied for both the MCAT (99 percentile), USMLE step 1 and USMLE step 2CK (>255). I specialize in medical school admissions. I have served as an executive admissions committee member at one of the top medical schools in the country. I also have extensive history mentoring pre-medical students with many going on to be placed at their first-choice medical school. I offer essay services, mock interviews, and general application planning.

USMLE

USMLE

Hello! I am a rising internal medicine resident at an elite NYC hospital. I obtained a B.A. in Applied Mathematics from Washington University in St. Louis and obtained my MD degree from Mount Sinai. I self-studied for both the MCAT (99 percentile), USMLE step 1 and USMLE step 2CK (>255). I have worked as the executive senior tutor for my medical school, specializing in USMLE and Shelf examinations. Test taking is a skill. I provide students with a framework for success, empower them with the skills needed, and build a strong relationship to guide them on their journey. The key to my methodology involves utilizing free and accessible online resources (i.e anki) to apply the principles of spaced repetition in conjunction with rigorous error analysis. I also specialize in medical school admissions. I have served as an executive admissions committee member at one of the top medical schools in the country. I also have extensive history mentoring pre-medical students with many going on to be placed at their first-choice medical school. I offer essay services, mock interviews, and general application planning.

Incredibly diligent and understanding tutor

Alex has been very helpful in my medical school application process. He has taken the time to read over every sentence and give meaningful advice and suggestions to improve. He also listens to every question I ask and answers with great detail and thought.
