Award-Winning MCAT Tutors in Philadelphia, PA

...working with students of all different learning styles and creating a plan that helps them achieve their potential. Tutoring allows me to keep my skills in the sciences fresh, while helping other students. I am passionate about the sciences and like to apply concepts I learn in class to real life situations. In my first year of dental school I completed a rigorous biomedical science curriculum including anatomy (with cadaver dissection) and physiology. I received...

...to family illness, I decided to switch paths and pursue a career in medicine, and I'll be applying to medical school next year. I've been helping students with physics, math, and SAT prep since college, and more recently I've been focusing on tutoring pre-medical subjects (Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Biology, Biochemistry, Physics, Psychology/Sociology) and MCAT preparation. I understand how intimidating the mighty MCAT can feel. I help my students master both the content and strategy of...

Hi! My name is Claire and I'm excited about the opportunity to work with you! I graduated from Amherst College in 2015 with a degree chemistry and plan to matriculate to medical school this August. I'm comfortable tutoring elementary- through college-level science, math, English and Spanish and have significant test-prep experience, including SAT, AP and MCAT exams.

...fun. During a typical tutoring session, I try to incorporate videos, textbooks, and models to help the student stay engaged. I make my sessions interactive in hopes of creating an environment where students can learn the material in a style that is most effective for them. In addition to Anatomy, I also tutor Physiology, Biology, General Chemistry, Physics, and elementary math. When I am not working as a tutor I love to travel, play music,...

...Drexel University College of Medicine to take graduate-level classes such as two semesters of Biochemistry as well as Graduate Neuroscience and a medical school course titled Medical Neuroscience. From May 2021 to January 2022, I conducted spinal cord research at Drexel University College of Medicine, where I studied the functional interaction between locomotor and respiratory networks in the spinal cord of adult Sprague Dawley rats. This research was presented as a poster with me as...

...your interest in my profile! I obtained my Ph.D. in neuroscience from the University of Maryland in Baltimore, and recently started a post-doctoral fellowship at well known research laboratory in West Point PA. My research focus is developing an in vivo model of tau pathology. In a previous life (during graduate school) I was a researcher at the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Chemical Defense, where I used histochemistry, in vivo electrophysiology, and behavioral...

...well as SAT Verbal Reasoning prep. My experience with another young teen student showed me the importance of developing a quick alliance with the student enough to at least help them see me as more than someone their parents had hired to make them do something and more as someone who genuinely cared about them. This is an ever-developing skill of mine that I had a chance to practice during my pediatrics rotation having to...

...to teaching and tutoring centers around my background as a liberal arts student turned pre-med. I attended Wesleyan University and then decided after college to pursue medicine, completing a one year post-baccalaureate premedical program at Bryn Mawr College. Having personally undergone the transition from a humanities to a science student, I feel passionately that the sciences can be learned by any student, even those for whom it might feel a little more challenging. Working as...

...the discussion to that place so we may reach our goal. My style of teaching constantly adapts to the needs of the individual student, using visual aids, mnemonics, and emotional support as needed. One of the best compliments I ever received was from a rival who sat in on a physiology tutoring session I led in graduate school. He said, "You break it down so that a six-year-old could understand it." This is the level...

...received my B.A. in psychology from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. I received an M.A. in psychology from Southern Connecticut State University and an M.A. in psychology from the University of New Hampshire. I have also received a Ph.D. in psychology from the University of New Hampshire. I tutor subjects including math, statistics, psychology, psychology GRE subject test prep, and writing. My favorite subject to tutor is statistics because I find that it can be...

...of a passionate teacher can turn a diffident or apathetic underachieving student into a classroom star. My favorite subject to tutor is standardized test prep (SAT, ACT, GRE, etc.) because such tests cover a finite body of material that can be taught and mastered. In addition to test prep, I also tutor a number of English related subjects (including Writing, Literature, Essay Editing, and Grammar), and offer help with Study Skills and Organization. In my...

...currently a D.M.D. candidate (C/O 2023) at University of Connecticut School of Dental Medicine, and a recent graduate (C/O 2019) at University of Delaware where I received a bachelors degree in Chemistry with a minor in Biological Sciences. I mainly tutor for the DAT, which I scored in the 98th percentile when I took it myself! I also provide application advice for applying to Dental school. After taking my DAT, I applied to 8 dental...

...invest in my talents. While teaching my own students, I have enjoyed instilling the same love of learning as well as an attitude to persevere through their own challenges. I acknowledge that every student faces his/her unique obstacles and understand that students learn at varying paces through different strategies. In my tutoring sessions, I go out of my way to get to know students to adapt activities to their learning styles and to help them...

...(my goal is to go to medical school, so I have a great deal of interest in living things). I like to incorporate real life examples as well as demonstrations into my tutoring to help students better grasp concepts, especially ones that are more abstract (for example, using the analogy of water slides to explain flow dynamics in physics or using different color Skittles to explain mitosis/meiosis in biology). Also, especially for tests like the...

...current medical student with years of high-level coursework in various subjects under my belt, I have learned to adapt and change my learning style multiple times throughout high school, college, and medical school. As a soon-to-be doctor, one of the most important things I can do with my patients is to listen to them, their needs, and where they are coming from. This ability to listen is crucial also for tutoring and understanding a child's...

...a Bachelor of Arts in International Relations from Lehigh University, which I attended, after earning an Army ROTC scholarship. Subsequently, I spent three years serving as an Armor officer at Fort Knox, Kentucky. It was there that I gained my first teaching experience.

After completing my service obligation, I earned a law degree from Rutgers University and a Master of Journalism degree...

I'm an experienced tutor with 6+ years of experience and a strong foundation in multiple disciplines. I make customized plans tailored to student needs and guarantee results.

...for me to see my tutees improve academically and understand material they used to think was too difficult for them to grasp. For three years as an undergraduate, I tutored elementary school children from ages 5-11 in every subject applicable, from 1st grade math and learning how to read to 5th grade science and understanding long division. I learned a lot from this experience and definitely became more patient, creative, and proactive when it came...

...years in the nursing profession, and 23 years total in the healthcare field, I can help students to see the bigger picture in the world of healthcare. If a student is motivated to learn, there is no end to what they can achieve. I struggled in math in high school and realized in college that sometimes the way something is explained by another person is all that's needed to get someone to understand it. I...
