As a medical student who has already cleared both USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 CK, Jiatian knows the MCAT's content landscape from the other side — which biochemistry pathways, physics concepts, and psychology theories actually matter most and how the exam tests them. She teaches a question-attack strategy for CARS and the science sections that trains students to extract key data from dense passages before even looking at answer choices. Her Rice University science background and firsthand board exam experience mean she can connect MCAT topics to the bigger picture of what medical schools expect.

Ning earned her Doctor of Medicine degree, which means she didn't just study MCAT content — she applied it through years of medical training. She breaks down each section's strategy differently, from amino acid structure questions in the Biological Foundations section to passage-based reasoning in CARS, treating the exam as four distinct challenges rather than one monolithic test. Rated 4.9 by students.
As an incoming medical student (starting 2026) and a graduate in Biological Sciences from SUNY Binghamton, I utilize a unique student-focused approach to tutoring. With over two years of experience in premed subjects (including MCAT topics) ranging from introductory biology to organic chemistry I specialize in breaking down complex topics into manageable concepts. My teaching philosophy is built on fostering a supportive environment where I adapt to each student's learning style, ensuring they not only achieve their academic goals but also develop a deeper appreciation for the material.
I am a graduate of Emory University, where I received my Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology with a minor in Dance and Movement Studies. Throughout college, I have trained extensively tutoring students of various ages across many subjects. As an "Emory Reads" tutor for four years, I helped alleviate education inequality by providing weekly tutoring to students in Atlanta's lowest performing elementary schools to enhance reading comprehension and mathematics skills. I worked with the schools to transition engaged learning to an online format. I am a firm proponent of education, and am committed to providing my students with the best learning experience achievable. I am passionate about helping struggling students face the challenges of early education, and help them build a solid foundation for the future. I also served several semesters working with high school and college-age students. As a Teaching Assistant for college-level physics, I developed a sincere bond with my students as I strived to help them achieve there academic goals. I also worked as a peer-editor for papers and personal statements, as appointed by my professors who recognized my strong writing skills. For three years, I tutored and mentored high school students who were passionate about pursuing the sciences in college. I helped them through their AP coursework, preparing for standardized tests, and the college application process. I have worked with students to get into Ivy League universities, Berkeley, UCLA, NYU, and more. I am looking forward to being able to helping every student reach their personal potential, and sharing the joy of eventual success!
As a passionate tutor with a Bachelor's degree in Neuroscience and Psychology from Indiana University. For the past 3 years, I have been working as an MCAT tutor. I have over 2 years of experience helping students excel in subjects such as Anatomy & Physiology, AP Biology, and Psychology. My approach centers on fostering a supportive learning environment where students feel empowered to ask questions and engage deeply with the material. I believe that understanding the 'why' behind concepts is crucial for long-term retention, so I strive to connect lessons to real-world applications. I am motivated by witnessing my students' growth and confidence, particularly as they navigate the challenges of college applications and advanced coursework. In my free time, I enjoy reading about the latest developments in neuroscience, which further enriches my teaching and keeps me engaged with the subject matter.
Scoring well on the MCAT requires more than content mastery — it demands the ability to synthesize biology, chemistry, physics, psychology, and critical reading under extreme time pressure. Miya's microbiology and immunology background covers the science sections deeply, and her experience tutoring English and reading gives her a practical edge when coaching the CARS section. She builds study plans around each student's weakest content areas and drills passage-based reasoning from day one.
I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.
I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.
I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.
I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.
I am proud to be a part of Varsity Tutors! I am originally from San Antonio, TX; I completed my undergraduate education at Rice University in Houston where I received a bachelor's degree in Biochemistry and Cell Biology. Currently, I am in my second year of medical school at Baylor College of Medicine.
I'm Solange - a recent graduate from Harvard where I studied Sociology & Women's Studies. I've been tutoring for eight years now, and have worked with a wide range of ages and in a wide range of subjects. Some of my specialties are college prep/test taking II worked in the admissions office on campus); social sciences; and literature/writing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Score improvement depends on your starting point and study commitment, but students typically see 4-8 point gains (on the 472-528 scale) with focused, personalized instruction. The key is identifying your specific weak areas—whether that's passage comprehension, chemistry concepts, or time management—and targeting those gaps systematically. A tutor can help you understand not just what you got wrong, but why, so you avoid repeating mistakes on test day.
The Chemical and Physical Foundations section and the Biological and Biochemical Foundations section challenge many students because they require both deep content knowledge and the ability to apply concepts to unfamiliar passages. The Psychological, Social, and Biological Foundations section trips up students who underestimate the psychology and sociology content. The MCAT Reading and Writing section is deceptively difficult—it's not just about reading speed, but extracting key information under time pressure. Personalized tutoring helps you develop targeted strategies for whichever sections give you the most trouble.
Pacing is one of the most common challenges because the MCAT gives you roughly 1.5 minutes per question across different section types. A tutor can teach you section-specific strategies—like how to quickly identify high-yield passages versus dense ones, and when to skip and return to difficult questions. Practice tests are essential here; they help you calibrate your pace and build the stamina needed for the full 7.5-hour exam. Working with a tutor to review your practice test timing patterns reveals whether you're struggling with content knowledge or just rushing.
Most students benefit from taking 8-12 full-length practice tests spread throughout their study timeline, starting after you've built foundational content knowledge. The AAMC provides official practice materials that closely mirror the real exam, and these should be your priority. Beyond quantity, what matters most is how you review each test—analyzing every wrong answer, understanding the reasoning behind correct answers, and adjusting your strategy based on patterns. A tutor can guide your practice test schedule and help you extract maximum learning from each one.
Test anxiety often stems from feeling unprepared or uncertain about your approach—both things personalized tutoring directly addresses. Knowing you've covered your weak areas and practiced with real exam materials builds genuine confidence. Tutors can also teach you mental strategies like breaking the exam into smaller chunks, managing your energy across the full day, and reframing mistakes during practice as learning opportunities rather than failures. Consistent practice and clear progress tracking are the best antidotes to anxiety.
Most students study for 3-4 months with 8-12 hours per week, though this varies based on your baseline knowledge and target score. A typical schedule starts with content review (6-8 weeks), moves into practice questions and passages (4-6 weeks), and finishes with full-length practice tests and targeted review (2-4 weeks). Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who can build a personalized study plan based on your schedule, learning pace, and specific goals. They help you stay accountable and adjust your timeline if needed based on your progress.
Look for tutors with strong MCAT scores (typically 510+), medical school acceptance, and experience teaching the exam—ideally with a track record of helping students improve their scores. They should understand the current MCAT format, have access to official AAMC materials, and be able to explain complex concepts clearly. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who meet these standards and can provide personalized instruction tailored to your strengths and weaknesses.
Your first session is typically a diagnostic and planning meeting. The tutor will assess your baseline knowledge, understand your target score and timeline, and identify your biggest challenges—whether that's content gaps, pacing issues, or test anxiety. You'll discuss your learning style and create an initial study plan together. This foundation helps ensure every future session is focused and productive, with clear goals and measurable progress toward your target score.
