Top 1% PSAT Instructor Dr. Kevin Parrish, PhD

Hello! My name is Dr. Kevin Parrish, and I'm excited to be your Prep Expert® instructor! I graduated from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) in 2025 with my PhD in Physics. During my time there, my focus of study was on computational material science, specifically on amorphous glass. I also branched out and did some climate science work on machine learning models applied to streamflow in the Colorado River. Throughout it all though, I never stopped teaching at Prep Expert®!

I've been an instructor here for 8 years now, beginning when I was just a freshman in college. Over that time, I've come to love our students and our courses, which is why I chose to continue teaching here after my doctoral program. I scored a 1570 on my SAT and a 35 on my ACT. On top of that, I also passed more AP tests than any other male student in the state of Nevada by my high school graduation in 2016, a total of 15, earning myself the prestigious State AP Scholar award for that year!

My passions outside of Prep Expert® include practicing on my piano and playing pickleball, but, most of the time, I find myself just cultivating my curiosities and learning about whatever new things pique my interest!
