MD Graduate | From High School Science to MCAT & USMLE Mastery

Benjamin Y.

I am a medical school graduate from NYIT College of Osteopathic Medicine (DO, 2026) with a background in biomedical sciences from NYIT, where I also completed a minor in chemistry. I scored in the 91st percentile on the MCAT and achieved a 260+ on Step 2. I tutor a wide range of subjects across all levels, including high school math and science (algebra, geometry, trigonometry, biology, chemistry, physics), college-level courses (biology, biochemistry, genetics, neuroscience, microbiology, physiology, pathology, anatomy, pharmacology, general chemistry, and physics), as well as medical school coursework and USMLE/COMLEX preparation (Step 1 and Step 2).

I have over five years of tutoring experience in both formal and informal settings, including peer tutoring throughout medical school and mentoring students across different stages of their education. I have worked with high school, college, and medical students in one-on-one settings, helping them build confidence and master challenging material.

My teaching approach focuses on building a strong foundation from the ground up. I prioritize deep understanding over memorization by simplifying complex concepts and reinforcing key principles step-by-step. Once students develop a solid grasp of the material, I incorporate practice questions and test-taking strategies to ensure they can apply their knowledge effectively. This method consistently leads to strong results, with students getting As in their classes and with many of my students scoring over the 515–517 range on the MCAT, performing well on their board exams, and successfully matching into their desired specialties. I also emphasize study strategies and accountability to help students stay disciplined and achieve their goals.
