I am a California attorney and MCAT Verbal, LSAT, and SAT Verbal tutor of five years and have had hundreds and hundreds of students. I have created a streamlined, meticulous approach to the MCAT that:

1) utilizes a methodical step by step approach to each the reading, notetaking, answering of every different type of Reading Comprehension question (within both micro and macro questions, there are inference and stated questions. And within each of these variations there are further variations on the question types).

2) employs a tried and true formula to the Writing portion that ensures the hitting of all "tasks" and facilitates an easier way to achieve 6-level diction, style, grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, device usage, organization, and theses. (my students simply go in with a set formula and apply it robotically on the exam to maximize points on the new holistic scaling system)


Fact is, despite popular opinion, this test is predictable and you can beat it. I've honed my approach over the years to where we have become very successful at picking apart the decoys of the Reading Comprehension section and the most common and attractive wrong answers. I am particularly proud of my students' progress in Reading Comp as I've seen immense improvement from my students in these areas. The approach in this area is proven time and again.

I know MCAT Verbal preparation process can be frustrating. Usually commercial courses don't deliver on their promises or enable you to understand the concepts at the level needed to ace this exam. I believe there is a reason for this and as such, I tailor my approach to the intricate reasons my students are getting questions wrong. This is a method you seldom, if ever, will receive from a commercial tutoring service. Frankly, you don't often get it from other tutors either, as I've had many students over the years who have "defected" from another tutor to come use my approach. The reality is many commercial courses simply don't have a viable approach to Reading Comp and their Writing approaches are convoluted and unnecessary.

My students always have success, if they work hard that is. We will pinpoint what it is that is tripping you up and will hone in on the exact areas that need serious scrutinizing. My satisfaction truly comes from your growth.

The MCAT is a large portion of the admissions process for med school - do not skimp on the preparation.

Whether we work together or not, if Verbal is your pet peeve area, I recommend selecting a tutor that specializes only in Verbal prep, rather than working with one who tutors for various exams and portions of this exam. Select a tutor who knows the MCAT inside and out, a tutor whose sole focus is on these portions of the exam.

As you'll see below, my price is consistently more than HALF that of commercial course private tutors. The reason for this is not because you'll get inferior preparation - it's because I find it obscene to charge that much for MCAT prep. I am an attorney, meaning I attended law school and understand how costly it can be to obtain an education. My goal isn't to add to that - it's to give you exactly what you need at a reasonable price and then send you on your way to apply your talents. Here is a breakdown of what each commercial course charges for private tutoring sessions:

Kaplan: $153/hr

Princeton Review: $125 - $375/hr

My rate is $85/hr.

Additionally, I'm not anchored to the clock. If we're five minutes over, I never rush my students out the door - I finish the strategy we're learning. THIS IS NOT GENERIC, CANNED TEST PREP AS IT IS WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED COURSES - THE PREP IS FRIENDLY, IT UTILIZES INTUITIVE, SIMPLIFIED STRATEGIES, AND IT WORKS UPON ONLY THE AREAS PROVEN TO BE OF IMPORTANCE TO THE GRADERS OF THE EXAM. There is no filler or fluff as you'll find in the commercial courses to add duration to your sessions and pages to your materials.

Please contact me to set up a meeting to get started. We'll discuss all the details of the actual strategies you need to learn via the phone if you'd like to call me or in our first session together. Looking forward to hearing from you! You can reach me at 516-297-5376 (don't worry, I'm in SD).
