Approved Subjects

ACT Science

ACT Science

The ACT can feel overwhelming, but it is absolutely a teachable test where strategy is essential. I have a track record of dramatically increasing ACT scores in all subjects, because I focus on strategy and confidence over memorizing facts. My goal from the start is to build confidence and teach you how to see though each question and expose its underlying logic. These are the skills that will give you the confidence you need to walk into the exam knowing that you can tackle any question that comes your way. I have worked with thousands of students over the course of 16 years to improve their scores and I am confident that I can help you do the same.

GRE

GRE

Taking the GRE can feel overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be. My goal in our sessions will be to give you the tools that you need to develop confidence and see through the exam for what it is - a teachable test that can be tackled by anyone with a deep understanding of how the exam works. I have worked with thousands of students over the course of 16 years to improve their scores and I am confident that I can help you do the same.
MCAT

MCAT

MCAT prep is always challenging, but it does not have to be overwhelming. I have built a career around preparing students for preforming at the highest levels on the MCAT and will develop a comprehensive strategy to get you there. My goal is to help you build a toolkit that will allow you to make progress even when we are not working together and maximize the efficiency of the time we do have together. This all starts with building confidence, and that will be my primary goal from the start - to give you a feeling of certainty that you will walk into your MCAT exam fully prepared for any question or situation you encounter. I have worked with thousands of students over the course of 16 years to improve their scores and I am confident that I can help you do the same.

Game changing tutor!

Justin is by far the best MCAT/content review tutor available. He is the most knowledgeable and efficient tutor I have worked with. He explains the concepts clearly, identifies your weaknesses and helps you understand the material in a way that establishes new skills and thought processes that prevent you from repeating mistakes. Most impressively, he manages to answer every question and exceed my expectations in every subject on the MCAT, including CARS. I fully recommend him. He has made studying enjoyable and confidence inspiring. I am already seeing massive improvements in diagnostic exams and can't wait to see what I can achieve on test day with his help.

Great Instructor

He does a great job explaining the material to where it’s easier to understand. He asks questions to make sure I understand, if not, he will explain it again to ensure I’ve got it before moving on to the next topic. Can’t recommend highly enough!

Expert AND Kind Tutor

I reached out to Justin when I had just 4 days before a major Neuroscience exam. My class structure was terrible, and I was drowning in TONS of information. In no time, Justin and I set up a schedule to meet and prepare for the exam. He essentially "re-lectured" me on all of the material and caught me up to speed. I learned more in these few sessions than I did in the THREE weeks that I was taught this material in class. Not only did I complete the exam successfully, but nearly every question I encountered was directly related to important points he provided in our sessions. I am now working with Justin twice a week to regularly review lecture material... best decision ever. He uses real-world examples to make sense of abstract topics. In addition to having just an insane amount of neuroscience knowledge, he has the ability to create a stress-free environment where I feel comfortable admitting I have no idea what is happening. That is SO important when a student is trying to learn. You will not go wrong working with Justin. It will be worth every penny!

Top notch tutor

Justin was able to jump in from the first session and help my daughter with material from an advanced biology class. He is responsive and able to make difficult concepts accessible. We are grateful to have found him.

Very knowledgeable and helpful

I have been able to learn so much, if you are struggling in any concepts related to microbiology and need a good review and explanation, definitely the best tutor!

Excellent tutor

This year my daughter has been taking a challenging biology course and her grades have hovered in the B+ range all year. In this second semester she asked to work with a tutor largely because her college counselor said it would be great to end her junior year with an A- in Bio . I found Justin on Wyzant and through reading his profile and reviews he seemed really strong to me. He is! My daughter's grades on her tests and quizzes immediately jumped 5-6 points after working with Justin. She said, "He doesn't use notes, he doesn't look things up, he doesn't hesitate. I ask him a question and he just begins explaining the concept really well from memory". My daughter is definitely getting that A- and her teacher told her she's on track for an A. Justin is, without a doubt, an exceptional tutor.

Eases exam stress and helps solidify concepts.

I reached out to Justin after I failed my first biology exam. I ended up acing an exam and feel I have a better foundation of knowledge thanks to Justin. He has made this semester so much less stressful and has gone above and beyond at every turn.

Very Knowledgeable and flexible

Justin went through different concepts of neuroscience such as resting potential for me very slowly and I was able to get a great grade on my exam because of his help!

Personable tutor with vast knowledge

Biology is a hard topic to grasp and hard to digest but working with Justin he breaks down concepts and gives you different ways to study and makes it connect easier. I was hesitant to reach out to a tutor but im so glad I did. Ill definitely be using Justin for all things biology related!

Excellent tutor for microbiology and other nursing classes

Justin is an excellent tutor with a wide variety of knowledge. He works through the content while making it exciting and interesting. The student leaves each session talking about and wanting to learn more. He weaves in information that applies to other classes too. That allows for higher level critical thinking necessary for the student in her program and school. Justin is easy to communicate with and responds quickly.
