About This Service

Ok, but when it comes to academic assistance, such as with algebra, is it truly necessary to have a tutor hailed by the New York Times as a \"genius philosopher\" and \"genius of molecular biology,\" who at Harvard was considered \"probably one of the half-dozen best abstract minds in the world\"? Consider this: in the mid-20th century, a science reporter who interviewed nearly every prominent scientist always asked one question: How does a kite fly? The only person who ever provided a clear and compelling answer was Albert Einstein.

So, indeed, the caliber of guidance can make a significant difference.

For instance, while I cannot guarantee admission to your top-choice college or professional school without knowledge of the applicant pool, I possess over two decades of experience helping individuals gain acceptance to their first-choice institutions. Every person I assist is successful, and not through any side or back door, but through the front door.

Most recently, a transfer student who was rejected from all five colleges she applied to last year was accepted to her first-choice, a major East coast university, within two weeks of applying this year.

A business school applicant rejected by all 11 schools he applied to last year was accepted to an Ivy League institution this year.

A high school student gained admission to 11 of 13 colleges, including her first choice and leading University of California campuses.

Many clients I assist apply to only one school and are accepted.

The play, Phalaris\'s Bull, referenced in the image, explains my motivation for tutoring:

\"Protagoras, an early Greek philosopher who said, \'Man is the measure of all things,\' also stated, \'To do philosophy, you must know everything.\' While that is impossible, one must try. To truly master a subject, you must teach it. To teach a wide variety of subjects, you must tutor. This is what I did. I have tutored hundreds of subjects from middle school through graduate and professional levels—at universities worldwide—in law, medicine, dentistry, endodontics, aeronautics, business, and all the sciences. It provided daily mental exercise with numerous benefits: social contact, daily structure, the satisfaction of helping people succeed, and financial compensation.

\"Eventually, it prepared me to write philosophy.\"

Hello! I have assisted hundreds of students from middle school through graduate and professional programs (law, medicine, dentistry, business, aeronautics) in subjects ranging from math (through calculus) and science (chemistry, biology, physics, etc.) to the social sciences (political science, sociology, history, etc.) and humanities (English, philosophy, literature, writing, papers, etc.). I also provide test preparation (SAT, GRE, LSAT, MCAT, etc.) and assistance with college and professional school applications. I have helped clients gain admission to the world\'s leading colleges, graduate programs, and professional schools, including every Ivy League institution, the Seven Sisters colleges, MIT, Oxford, Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Wharton, and many others.

My experience includes working with studios (actors/actresses), homeschooling families, celebrities and their children, students from schools such as Harvard-Westlake, Brentwood, Buckley, Crossroads, New Roads, Windward, Loyola, Wildwood, Marlborough, Marymount, Chadwick, and many public schools, as well as undergraduates and graduates from UCLA, USC, Northridge, Berkeley, Stanford, UCSB, UCSC, Yale, Princeton, Columbia, Brown, Cornell, Pennsylvania, Dennison, Sorbonne, Michigan, Wisconsin, Northwestern, Oxford, among others, often via phone or computer.

Yes, all of this is accurate.

Success Stories

• A high school junior\'s SAT essay was published by the College Board in its official SAT guide as an example of a \"perfect\" essay.
• An individual who required a perfect score on the math section of the GRE for admission to a neuroscience graduate program worked with me for one month and achieved that necessary perfect score.
• I supported a student with severe dyslexia from middle school through aeronautical university. He graduated first in his flight class and is now a captain with a major airline.
• Over one summer, I helped a student nearly double his total SAT score from just under 700 to just under 1400 (out of 1600)—an increase of approximately 700 points. He was accepted to an Ivy League college, where I continued to support him through graduation with high honors. I later helped him prepare for the MCAT and through medical school. He is now a successful physician.
• A student was advised by counselors not to apply to medical school because his MCAT scores were uncompetitive, even after completing both Kaplan and Princeton Review courses. After working with me for three months, four hours per week, he doubled his percentile score. With my assistance through the application process, he was accepted to FOUR medical schools.

With flexible rates, I can help you achieve your academic dreams as well. I truly can.
