As a Radiology Resident at a major academic center, I specialize in transforming high-stakes exam anxiety into documented success. My tutoring is not just about content; I serve as your Success Architect, designing personalized strategies to overcome your biggest academic hurdles.

I am a certified Retake Success Expert, having guided multiple students to passing scores on their 3rd and 4th USMLE/COMLEX attempts. If you’ve struggled before, I excel at dissecting your test-taking approach and targeting critical knowledge gaps to ensure you pass confidently.

My High-Score Credentials:
- USMLE Step 2: 265
- COMLEX Level 2: 746 (Top Tier)
- COMLEX Level 3: 910 (99.9th percentile)
- MCCQE: 274

I focus on high-yield, foundational knowledge for USMLE/COMLEX Steps 1 & 2 and MCCQE. My approach breaks down complex material (like EKG interpretation) and emphasizes effective test-taking strategies—determining what's relevant and how to apply it under pressure.

Residency & Application Coaching:
I offer targeted coaching for medical school and residency applications. Having matched my first-choice programs for both my Transitional Year and Radiology Residency (interviewing at top centers like Cleveland Clinic and Baylor), I provide an insider's understanding of what program directors seek. Let me help you craft a compelling application that ensures you match your dream specialty.
My commitment to teaching began in high school and continued by leading large peer study groups throughout medical school. I combine high-level academic achievement (including a master's degree from McGill University) with a proven, empathetic tutoring style to equip you with the skills and confidence necessary to excel. Let's build your pathway to success.

Approved Subjects

MCAT

MCAT

I believe I would make a great MCAT tutor because I achieved a 516, placing me above the 90th percentile, which reflects my dedication to mastering the material. As a resident physician in radiology, I understand the challenges of medical education and can offer insights that resonate with students. My strong performance in the CARS section equips me with effective strategies for improving critical reading and comprehension skills. I genuinely enjoy helping others succeed and strive to create a supportive learning environment tailored to each student’s needs.

Resident Physician - High scores on all board examinations. Ready and happy to tutor on ethics, pharmacology, physiology, anatomy, pathology, EKG etc.
USMLE

USMLE

I am a resident physician (Radiology) who attended an osteopathic school and graduated in May 2024. I took USMLE Step 1 (Pass/Fail) in May of 2022 and Step 2 in May of 2023, passing both on my first attempt and scoring in the 93rd percentile for my step 2 CK (265). I can bring a different perspective, helping both MDs and DOs prepare for these important examinations. I also passed COMLEX level 1 and Level 2 with a 746 (98th percentile). I will be happy to assess knowledge, practice question approach and help you decide which resources may be best for you.

5-Star COMLEX tutor!

I had the opportunity to work with Laurence while preparing for my Level 2 exam, and it was an excellent experience. He's knowledgeable, patient, and creates a supportive learning environment. Laurence tailors the sessions to focus on the areas you need most, and never makes you feel discouraged—even when tackling more difficult topics. I highly recommend him as a tutor!

Incredible and knowledgeable tutor!

Laurence has an exceptional ability to identify your weaknesses and uncover knowledge gaps you may not even realize you have. He worked with me to create a personalized study plan for my Level 1 retake and, more importantly, helped rebuild my confidence going into the exam. I’m incredibly grateful for his guidance and can’t wait to continue working with him as I prepare for Level 2.
