Pre-Med Tutoring
PRE-MED TUTORING
Top Percentile Scorers
Our tutors, who have achieved top percentile scores on the MCAT and USMLE and earned straight As in their pre-med courses, are also gifted educators adept at making complex concepts easy to understand. With their thorough understanding of these exams and insight into the mindset of the test creators, our students receive unparalleled preparation.
Exceptional Educators
Our tutors excel not only in taking exams but also in helping you achieve a deep understanding of the material. They will teach you effective strategies for approaching exam questions and managing test time efficiently.
Consistent Check-Ins
Our tutors are incentivized to consistently follow up with you, ensuring your improvement and progress toward your goals. This approach provides you not only with a tutor but also with a mentor and accountability partner.
A BREAKDOWN OF COLLEGE PRE-MED COURSES
College pre-med courses are crucial for two key reasons: your GPA and the MCAT. Achieving high grades will naturally boost your GPA. More importantly, excelling in pre-med courses establishes a solid foundation for MCAT preparation. It is well-documented that students who perform well in their pre-med courses tend to achieve higher MCAT scores.
A common complaint we hear from students is that their professors struggle to communicate complex information in an easy-to-understand manner. We recognize that the sciences can be challenging and that courses often move quickly. Our approach simplifies complex scientific concepts, making them more accessible and easier to understand. This not only helps raise your GPA but also makes future MCAT preparation significantly more manageable.
Average GPA for Pre-Med Students Accepted to Medical School
- Overall GPA: 3.7 to 3.9
- Science GPA: 3.6 to 3.8

PRE-MED TUTORING BENEFITS
Study Optimization
We will identify the weaknesses in your study habits and knowledge and provide you with effective strategies for improvement.
Socratic Method
Our tutoring sessions are not traditional lectures. We employ a Socratic approach, fostering active communication and discussion to work through practice problems and complex concepts together.
Easy Recall
Our objective is to ensure you truly understand the material, rather than just memorize it. We simplify complex concepts, making them easy to comprehend and recall, so you can effectively apply your knowledge when it matters most.
Academic Independence
Our goal is to empower you to become self-sufficient learners, eliminating the need for future tutoring. We aim to not only teach you the material but also help you develop the skills to master self-teaching, no matter how complex the subject matter.

Step 1: Choose the tutoring package that best fits your needs. Upon selection, you will receive an email with a questionnaire designed to help us tailor our sessions to optimize your learning experience.
Step 2: Based on your questionnaire responses, we will match you with the most suitable tutor. Your tutor will develop a customized plan to maximize your learning potential.
Step 3: You and your tutor will promptly schedule your first session and begin working immediately. You will gain a comprehensive understanding of the subject and be introduced to a study plan specifically tailored to your needs.
