Bio

I am a medical student at the UNC Chapel Hill School of Medicine. To get to this point, I had to battle through the difficult pre-med life, including the MCAT. I understand many of the struggles students face on the pre-med path. I did well on the exam through hard work and by using a distinct set of successful strategies.

I am a medical student at the UNC Chapel Hill School of Medicine. To get to this point, I had to battle through the difficult pre-med life, including the MCAT. I understand many of the struggles students face on the pre-med path. I did well on the exam through hard work and by using a distinct set of successful strategies. Now, I want to help YOU succeed and get to this point too.

Pre-med life is often lacking in support and mentorship. I don't believe that should be the case. As a tutor, I am here to support you with all of my knowledge and experience. I genuinely want you to succeed and for your hard work to pay off.

I have also been a TA for Anatomy & Physiology for over 2 years and a pre-med peer mentor at my university for just as long. These experiences have taught me a lot about how to be a better instructor and tutor/mentor. In my senior year of college, I won a Chancellor's Award for my teaching in A&P. I was nominated for the award by my students.

I can tutor all MCAT sections, but CARS is the one I tutor the most often. I have plenty of prepared MCAT resources and practice and am looking forward to working with you on your journey to that high score you desire!

MCAT

MCAT

Qualifications: I took the MCAT in September of 2019 and scored a 520. Now, all of the experience I have gained through painstaking trial and error is at your disposal so that you have the best possible chance of getting the score you want! I have tutored over 200 students for the MCAT in the last two years, with CARS being the section I tutor the most. I tutor all exam sections, however. In undergrad I was also a TA and peer mentor for anatomy and physiology for over 4 semesters and I won a Chancellor's Award at my university for my work. My Methodology: I provide an individualized approach to all students, wherever you are at in your studies. For those just starting their review, I help create study plans and highlight the best study resources out of the overwhelming amount out there. For those who know what they need help with, I provide the necessary content review and support. For all students, I offer personalized services to understand and address THEIR needs and areas to improve. In the first session, we establish what you wish to focus on and what your needs are. We also create a study plan together. In the next session or two, we discuss testing strategies for the sections, as it is crucial to focus on strategy, beyond simple content review. After that, each session we have is us doing practice passages together to apply the strategies I have demonstrated. I offer support to students in real time as they work through MCAT passages.

Knowledgeable and Great Tutor

Dimitry is an amazing tutor who is very knowledgeable about the MCAT and is great at helping his students improve in the areas they are struggling in. I hired Dimitry as a tutor to help me out with my CARS section for the MCAT, and after just two weeks of working with him, he massively improved my CARS score. We spent a month working on CARS, and throughout that time he created a thorough individualized schedule and strategy tailored to my needs. Throughout our sessions, Dimitry was very understanding, careful, and comprehensive towards helping me build my logic for approaching the CARS section on the MCAT. Additionally, he is a great resource for other topics on the MCAT, as he has a great knowledge base about the exam and can help improve anyone who is in need of MCAT help. Before working with him, I exhausted all kinds of strategies and resources to help me improve in CARS, but none of them were as helpful to improving my score as Dimitry's tutoring. It is without a doubt that I would recommend him as your MCAT tutor.

Great teacher

Awesome teacher! I’d recommend him to anyone looking to take the MCAT. He takes the time to break everything down to a very understandable level!

Intelligent, caring, and a great CARS tutor

I took the MCAT once last year and although I spent many hours practicing and even attending CARS classes, I got 122 on CARS. When I started studying to retake the MCAT this year, I knew I needed some extra help. I’m very grateful I found Dimitry on Wyzant because he played such an important role in improving my CARS score. On my last AAMC full length exam that I took a few days ago, I got a 126 on CARS. I know this is not a great score at all, but it was something I never thought I could do! I also noticed as Dimitry helped me with CARS, my other sections improved by at least 1-2 points as well. He’s very intelligent, knows what he’s doing, and figures out what mistakes you’re making quickly. More importantly, he cares about your progress! Besides being an amazing tutor, he’s a good friend and a great person to ask for advice about medical schools or basically anything! Trust his strategy and don’t give up on it. Highly recommend!

Knowledgeable and amazing

I had a great tutoring experience and will strongly recommend. The tutoring session was spent taking about strategies to approach CARs. I am glad for the opportunity. Thanks you

Great tutor for learning crucial strategies in reading/answering questions

Dimitry’s application of his strategies in our practice together is eye opening and lessons with him has already reflected positively in my practice FLs. As a retaker who struggles with getting over the 500-505 score range, I definitely recommend Dimitry for lessons on how to read and answer MCAT passages/questions more efficiently!

Excellent Tutor

I previously took the MCAT last year and did not get the score I wanted. I used the Princeton Review and felt that it did not prepare me effectively for the exam. After creating a study plan with Dimitriy, he taught me the tools I need to get a great score. I have already seen my practice tests improve significantly! I highly recommend his services.

Knowledgeable, organized, confident, and encouraging

I started looking for a tutor to help me with the MCAT CARS section. CARS was one of the sections that seemed impossible to me, as English is my third language. I reached out to a lot of tutors in Wyzant, but Dimitry was one of the only confident tutors who thought could help me. Since our first session, he showed me a completely different way to approach the section, and encouraged me to step outside my comfort zone. I’ve been taking lessons consistently with Dimitry since January, and my CARS grade jumped by almost 4/5 points on my practice exams (mid March rn). Dimitry is very encouraging, organized, and realistic. During our sessions, he watches. me solve a CARS passage, as I voice my thought process out loud. He provides feedback and points out to me what I have missed. I am grateful for all his help, and I definitely recommend him to everyone who struggles with CARS!

Patient and engaging tutor!

In my few sessions with Dimitry I was able to utilize a CARS strategy that we talked through which helped me to understand why I was getting questions wrong. As a result I am able to get through difficult passages and really hone in on the details that would lead me to the correct answer. Using these strategies coupled with practice I hope that I can get the score I want.

Knowledgeable, Patient, and Encouraging Tutor

Dimitry is an amazing tutor! At the start of my MCAT prep journey, I was overwhelmed and did not know how or where to begin. Dimitry provided me with the tools and resources necessary for my success. He gave me extensive insight into how the MCAT exam works and how to think like the MCAT. Additionally, he gave me extremely helpful test-taking strategies that allowed me to face difficult and challenging questions, especially with CARS. He guided me throughout the entire process of my MCAT prep and gave me both constructive feedback and encouragement. By the day of my exam, I felt calm and motivated to put my best foot forward. I would not have been able to approach the exam with such confidence without the tools that Dimitry provided me. I am very grateful for all his help during my journey, and I highly recommend his expertise!

Great tutor

Great tutor. He provided good strategies to study for exam. I will continue to use him to help in particular with the CARS section. Will also recommend him to my other pre-med friends.
