In addition to decades of teaching and tutoring in all subject areas covered by the MCAT (both sciences and verbal), I have been trained and certified by the two major test-prep companies and have often taught MCAT classes and done MCAT tutoring during the past five years.
My original academic training was in physics and mathematics. While still in graduate school (at Poly), I joined the staff of Brookhaven National Laboratory, as a crystallographer in the Chemistry Dept.
In addition to several years at BNL, I was also employed by Grumman, Robotic Vision, American Science, Megadata and other companies as a scientist and/or technical manager.
I am also well-versed in the verbal and communications areas, as a professional writer (having authored thousands of published pages) and also as radio broadcaster (currently hosting two weekly radio shows).

Critical Reading
I train individuals in meeting their academic and career goals by providing a teaching environment through the highest quality of elementary, theoretical, practical, and professional instruction. Supporting academic organizations in maintaining a successful, efficient, and ethical operation within the community. I am a Rutgers University graduate who provides individualized instruction to university or professional communities. I am a proficient academic writer who enjoys giving feedback to other writers, especially on wide issues such as developing an argument and organizing ideas. I contribute to student's academic experience in substantial and meaningful ways. I can guide students in refining reasoning skills and writing skills.
I'm a graduate of Princeton University with a passion for teaching. I quite simply enjoy leading students through difficult course material and preparing them for standardized exams. I believe that learning is a ongoing process and that tutoring should make that process more manageable. Tutoring for over 6 years, I credit my success to a single philosophy: above all, I try to instill confidence in my clients by helping them manage their academic workload. In every lesson, I negotiate their expectations while also putting them in the best possible position to succeed. Beyond providing customized worksheets and study guides, my services reduce stress levels and increase sustained focus. Consequently, my sessions are known to be very productive.
Becoming a doctor is an admirable and exciting career aspiration. You've worked hard through high school and college and you've received good grades in difficult courses like physics and biochemistry. Before you can be accepted into a medical school you need to master the MCATs... and a TakeLessons MCAT tutor may provide just the edge you need!
The Medical College Admission Test, better known as the MCAT, includes a physical sciences section, a verbal reasoning section, a writing section, and a biological sciences section, all of which can be formidable. Yes, you can find lots of written materials to help and you can sign up for impersonal online courses, however, there is really no substitute for a quality one-on-one MCAT prep tutoring experience.
