Bio

I scored a 521 (Score breakdown: 130/131/130/130) (99th percentile) on the August 2019 MCAT. I studied over the course of two months and scored a 508 on the diagnostic test. Starting from the 508, I made my own study schedule and used the Kaplan books, Uworld and the AAMC material to improve my score to a 521.

I can help develop a personalized study schedule based on your strengths and weaknesses and help review and explain practice test material. For CARS, I believe there are a few key strategies that every test-takers should know that help make the section significantly easier. I can help you understand what these strategies and how to best use and practice them in order to improve your CARS score.

I also tutored for multiple college classes, including organic chemistry and multiple biomedical engineering classes. I am extremely flexible in my tutoring schedule and can do online tutoring as well.
If you want more information or would like to discuss/schedule lessons, please contact me.

Thanks so much!

MCAT

MCAT

I scored a 521 (130/131/130/130) on the August 2019 MCAT. I studied for 2 months over the summer and was able to bring my score up from a 508 from the diagnostic test to a 521. I can especially help with students struggling with the Critical Analysis and Reading Skills (CARS) section.
SAT Reading

SAT Reading

I've helped to tutor multiple students in SAT Reading, Writing, and Math, and all of the students I've tutored have managed to score a 1400 or above. I've also taken the MCAT (the medical school admissions exam) and scored in the top 1% of test takers in the test's Reading section, so I have lots of knowledge of the general strategies and ways to approach critical reading and writing questions for standardized tests.
USMLE

USMLE

I’m a fourth-year medical student that did well in all my core clerkships and scored a 272 on Step 2 after studying for one month of dedicated. I offer personalized, high-yield tutoring that emphasizes clinical reasoning, NBME-style question strategies, and efficient study planning.

Patient and Organized

Alex was super helpful in providing helpful study resources and creating a schedule that fit my timeline. We went through a practice question and was patient with me going through it. He explained the answer thoroughly

He is good

He provides a much needed study plan for MCAT prep and has insight as to methods to study for the MCAT during one's own study times. he also knows what content is and isn't useful in studying for the MCAT.

Very helpful!

Alex made me a very comprehensive study guide prior to our meeting that really fit my learning style and worked within my study time range. During our session, Alex shared essential tips for the CARs and BB section, and I now feel more confident on how to approach these sections. Overall, 10/10 recommend!

Very helpful and flexible

Alex helped me with the CARS section on the MCAT. He contacted me very shortly after I messaged him and we met up the next day. He walked me through CARS passage from the AAMC material and targeted my personal strengths and weaknesses and gave me strategies that were extremely helpful. 10/10!

Professional Punctual Thorough

Alex called my daughter as soon as they established contact and in the very first session he walked her through the process of preparing for MCAT. He wasted no time and helped her develop a schedule for study, set timelines and scheduled the next class also. I’m very happy with the way the first class went, and I hope future classes are just as complete and content focused.
