About Ben


Bio

I am a 4th year medical student at Drexel University College of Medicine. I graduated magna cum laude from the University of California, San Diego, with a B.S. in Human Biology and a minor in Music Studies. During my gap year, I worked as a principal scientist at a telemedicine start-up and as a scientist at Regulus Therapeutics. I also contributed to the Alzheimer’s Disease Cooperative Study and have authored 10 abstracts and publications, including several as first author.

I am a 4th year medical student at Drexel University College of Medicine. I graduated magna cum laude from the University of California, San Diego, with a B.S. in Human Biology and a minor in Music Studies. During my gap year, I worked as a principal scientist at a telemedicine start-up and as a scientist at Regulus Therapeutics. I also contributed to the Alzheimer’s Disease Cooperative Study and have authored 10 abstracts and publications, including several as first author.

At Drexel, I served as a student ambassador for admissions and have mentored premed students with essays, applications, and mock interviews. I’ve also been tutoring high school and college students for 8+ years, with expertise in human biology, molecular biology, chemistry, English, essay writing, and application prep. Additionally, I’ve taught piano and violin since 2016, having trained through ABRSM with distinction ratings. I’ve worked with over 20 students ages 6–18.

I believe a strong grasp of fundamentals and consistent exposure to practice questions are key to success. I use them to teach students how to approach problems methodically, identify key information, and apply recall-based reasoning. My goal is to help students build lasting habits that improve both scores and confidence. To get the most out of our sessions, please send homework or questions in advance so I can tailor each lesson. I hope I can provide you with support and mentorship whether it be for academic studies, college/medical schools admissions processes, or piano practicum.

I have extensive experience as an academic tutor and mentor, specializing in guiding college and pre-med students through the application process.

I scored a 516 on the MCAT in 2020 after 3.5 months of preparation. I will help you prepare for the MCAT by going over practice questions and taking the proper steps necessary in choosing the right answer by breaking down the methodology I use during multiple-choice exams.

Chill and considerate tutor

Ben is very chill and has wise advice when it comes down to graduate school admission process. He covered a wide variety of aspects in depth and was able to guide me towards my next steps. He even offered to give me free counseling sessions. Ben truly has a passion for mentoring others and lead others to success.
