His extensive experience in both the lab and the classroom has also led him to become a passionate tutor and coach, where he is dedicated to helping students identify their strengths and build the skills necessary for success in graduate and medical school.

John's research has been recognized and supported by several prestigious awards and fellowships. His research has primarily focused on nanoparticle synthesis and cancer research, and he has made significant contributions to the field through several peer-reviewed publications and national and international presentations. His preclinical medical education was funded by a T32 traineeship, while his PhD research was supported by an MPower Fellowship and the National Cancer Institute - University of Maryland Partnership for Integrative Cancer Research.

As a mentor, John believes in the power of early skill development. He is a firm believer that cultivating strong academic and problem-solving skills early in a student’s education is critical to tackling future exams and achieving long-term success. Drawing on the lessons he learned from the many influential mentors who have guided him throughout his own academic journey, he is committed to giving back to the scientific community by helping students navigate their own educational paths. 

John excels in guiding students through the science and Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills (CARS) sections. His approach focuses on developing effective exam-taking strategies and study habits that will serve students well beyond the MCAT and into medical school. John has a particular talent for tailoring lessons to individual needs and fostering breakthrough moments for students. His specialization in MCAT preparation has helped numerous undergraduate students and post-baccalaureate fellows achieve their academic and career goals.
