Hi! I’m Andrei! I’m an Academic Coach with Staying Ahead of the Game LLC. I earned my B.S. in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin’s Cockrell School of Engineering and am currently pursuing a dual M.D. and M.Eng. at the Texas A&M School of Engineering Medicine in Houston.
My background bridges medicine and engineering, allowing me to teach science not as a collection of facts, but as an interconnected system that explains how and why things work. I joined SAOTG because I believe in its mission to go beyond short-term academic success-to teach students how to learn, think critically, and grow with intention.
