Thinking about signing up for one of our MCAT tutoring plans?

We know that choosing to work with an MCAT tutor is an important decision. Check out these messages from pre med students who have had tremendous MCAT success with our support.

"The tutors are very kind individuals who are able to help you improve in so many ways you didn't know you were able to. I had a lot of background knowledge on the science content but my tutor helped me use my knowledge to answer using reading techniques. This tutoring really helped with my testing skills."

"My tutor was incredibly encouraging, informative, and helpful through all stages of the process. I especially loved the detailed study schedule he provided. It provided me realistic goals and made sure I was accomplishing what I needed to. I always felt supported during our meetings and loved the way he explained various topics."

"I found it really helpful to have a schedule, and my tutor was really calm and helped me stay grounded throughout the process. I think this is really key - the MCAT is intense, and it was so helpful that my tutor would acknowledge that it is hard, but also help me stay positive and avoid getting overwhelmed. He also did a great job helping me understand concepts that I had trouble with, especially fluids and circuits. Finally, I really appreciated how he helped me engage in continuous self-reflection to think about how the MCAT is different from tests I had taken previously (greater focus on critical thinking, not just content) and how I can better apply the content I know to achieve my best score."

"My tutor's description of what the CARS section is actually looking for allowed me to increase my score by 3-4 points immediately by recognizing that it is primarily a pattern recognition test. Other bits of advice on strategy, such as the idea of slicing up the exam and doing the passages in order of ascending difficulty, were also very useful in allowing me to use my time efficiently (I averaged 20 minutes left over per section, even after moving carefully). They increased my practice test scores by at least 10 points over the course of a single month!"

"My tutor. She is literally the greatest tutor I have ever had in my life. She did everything she could to make herself available, be incredibly supportive and and give me so much confidence in my test taking abilities. It’s different than what I’ve seen with other companies. They really try to push their products on you and scare you into thinking you need to spend more money to get more practice. It’s this kind of thing that deters me from wanting to pursue more services. However, my Shemmassian tutor literally told me I can kill this exam and that she expected me to do well, which I did! I even ended up buying more hours while working with her because she was that good and I really needed it and liked working with her. She dissected my thought process and pointed out that because I was scoring so high in the science sections, I have the fundamentals to do better in CARS, I just needed to learn how to use them. It is one thing for a tutor to be solely focused on a students performance and scores, but my tutor elevated that and was sensitive to my confidence in my abilities with CARS. It is notably my worst section and I came in with a 123 and throughout my FL’s she helped raise it up 4 points in such a short period of time. I’d call her an elite tutor if there was a name for it!! I feel like I get 3 sessions worth of progress and quality from just one 2 hour session with her. She kept herself available for emails and questions between sessions and that really meant a lot to me. I cannot emphasize enough that she is literally the greatest tutor I have ever worked with, and I myself have been a tutor since I was 16."

"My tutor explained confusing topics very well! He also recommended great resources, and made study schedules that were efficient, effective, and manageable! There are strategies that you can't always find on the internet. Also, having this support system is very encouraging and can boost your confidence."

STUDENT WHO WENT FROM A 510 TO A 518

"My tutor helped focus my perspective on the things that most stressed me about this exam. Not only did she address my anxieties for the test day but also was diligent in ensuring that I completed all the material thoroughly. I really felt like she had my back when I would fall behind in studying or didn't do so well in practice."

"I got my score back just now. I am pleased to say I got a 526 (132/132/130/132)! I just want to thank you and the MCAT team for all of your help. All of the strategy tips and content review really helped. I don't think I would have been able to do it without you!"

"Shawnt is possibly the best MCAT tutor out there! He is so kind, patient, and knowledgeable. He turned the process from something terrifying into something enjoyable. Not many teachers can do that. He was so organized which helped immensely. You can expect a 3-4 paragraph summary and action items after each session. He is also really great at keeping you on pace without making you feel bad at all. In fact, you'll probably feel inspired and excited after meeting with him. This is so important for a test like the MCAT whose preparation is more like a marathon than a sprint. All in all, I am very happy to have prepared with Shawnt and achieved a score in my goal range!"
