Hi I'm Alex! I'm currently a resident surgeon at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and the University of Pennsylvania and have 8 years experience tutoring and teaching students from middle school up through the university level in all areas of science and medicine. Whether you are looking for academic planning/advising, help with difficult coursework, or looking to get ahead by studying outside your curriculum, I'm here to help. I hold a Doctor of Medicine degree (MD) from Yale University, a doctorate (PhD) in neuroinformatics from Erasmus University Rotterdam in the Netherlands, and an undergraduate degree in chemistry from Wofford College. I love helping students build confidence in their abilities and simultaneously develop a love for learning. If you'd like to meet to see if we'd be a good fit, please send me a message!
I'm currently a surgeon-scientist with experience teaching students of all ages and abilities in science courses ranging from middle school biology/chemistry up through university level medical courses.
I have taken and scored > 99th percentile on the exam after developing my own custom study program to raise my score more than 20 points. I have tutored MCAT prep for 8 years and have helped numerous students raise their score from below average to above the 90% percentile by clearly explaining commonly confused concepts and outlining a customized study program to target areas for maximum improvement in as little time as possible.
