Chicago MCAT Tutoring FAQ
If you are preparing to take the MCAT and feel you would benefit from some professional, private instruction, contact Varsity Tutors so we can connect you with quality Chicago MCAT tutors. The Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) tests you on concepts that medical school faculty, residents, and medical students deem important to prospective students' success. It is used by almost all medical schools in the US as part of the admissions process. If you are planning to apply to a school like the University of Illinois College of Medicine, or the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine, then you will be required to take the MCAT. We can assist you in finding the study help you are looking for, that can help you perform to your potential when you sit down to take the test.
How is Chicago MCAT tutoring different from classroom learning?
When you are in a typical college classroom, especially if it is a big lecture hall, you can sometimes feel like you are just a face in the crowd. That doesn't have to be the case if you study with Chicago MCAT tutors. Tutoring sessions are one-on-one, with a dedicated instructor, so you get the personalized attention you need. In a classroom, there is a set curriculum, and deviating from that can mean that the teacher doesn't have time to cover everything that needs to be covered. Such a steady pace is fine if you are comfortable with the material, but if you are not, it can feel like the class is leaving you behind. When you work one-on-one with an instructor, the focus is on what you need, so you get a say in what you cover and what you don't.
At the beginning of your Chicago MCAT tutoring sessions, your instructor can work with you to determine what kinds of approaches are going to be best suited to your preferred learning style. Once your instructor understands a little bit about you as a learner, they can tailor their lesson plans accordingly. For example, if you are more of a visual learner, they can make use of visual tools like flashcards to help you memorize the body's organ and tissue functions. Or, if you respond better by listening and articulating information verbally, they can take a Socratic approach, discussing with you things like behavioral change, and how cultural and social difference can influence well-being.
With Chicago MCAT tutors, you get to set the pace. If there are topics or concepts that you have a good handle on, you don't need to spend a lot of time on them. You can breeze through those, or skip them altogether. You and your tutor can spend more time on sections that give you trouble. Because you are the sole focus, sessions center on what you need.
What are the benefits of studying with Chicago MCAT tutors near me?
The individualized approach from Chicago MCAT tutors, where your instructor can incorporate your learning preferences into their planning and can focus session time where it is most needed, is one of the biggest benefits. That individualized approach also means that tutoring can be adaptive. Should your study needs change over the course of your sessions, your instructor's approach or focus can change to reflect that. You might start out thinking you need help with organic chemistry, but soon find that you actually pick things up rather quickly. Seeing your progress, your instructor can move on to an area where you may not be as strong, such as psychology or sociology, for example.
The MCAT is made up of four separate sections: Chemical and Biological Foundations of Biological Systems, Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills, Biological and Biochemical Foundations of Living Systems, and Psychological, Social, and Biological Foundations of Behavior. The most important thing to do if you want to do well is to know the material. Though the test covers a lot, Chicago MCAT tutoring can certainly help you in that regard. They can help you with test-taking strategies as well, and these can be extremely helpful. For much of the exam, the GMAT uses multiple-choice questions to assess your knowledge. The nice thing about multiple-choice questions is that they give you the answer —you just have to know how to find it. Your instructor can help you to develop strategies for examining questions critically so that you can eliminate certain choices and increase your likelihood of arriving at the right answer.
At six hours and fifteen minutes, the MCAT can be a grueling ordeal. When you think about it, it's just as much a test of your endurance as it is of your knowledge and analytical skills. Chicago MCAT tutors can help you prepare for the long test day so that you can stay sharp and focused from start to finish. Some things you can do are as simple as eating a healthy breakfast beforehand. Other techniques your tutor can help you with are things like relaxation and mindfulness exercises that can help you re-center when your concentration begins to falter.
How can I fit Chicago MCAT tutoring into my schedule?
With so many commitments like school, family, and work, not to mention applying to medical schools, we know life can be busy. It can be hard with so much going on to find time to prepare for the MCAT. That's why Varsity Tutors strives to make it as convenient as we can to get you connected with the best Chicago MCAT tutors, according to your test prep needs. Sessions are available both in-person and online. And, whichever choice you prefer, you get the same first-rate instruction.
Choosing the online option does come with the benefit of added convenience. Thanks to our Live Learning Platform, connecting with Chicago MCAT tutoring is easy as opening up your laptop. The platform also features several exciting learning tools, like a video chat, a shared document editor, and a virtual whiteboard.
The video chat function allows you to interact face-to-face with your instructor. You can engage in valuable back-and-forth, and any questions you have (or that your instructor has for you) can be answered in real-time. With the shared document editor, you can work collaboratively with your tutor to develop ways to integrate different components of a text to aid you in comprehension, which can be useful in the Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills section. With the virtual whiteboard, your tutor can make use of diagrams to help you with any number of subjects, from inorganic chemistry to physics.
When you work with Chicago MCAT tutoring, you don't have to worry about the commute, and you don't have to get to a site-specific location. As long as you have a reliable internet connection, you can log in to your sessions from anywhere. If you prefer the comfort of your living room, that's fine. If the quiet of a library makes sense for you, you can do that. If you need a little caffeine to get your through, you can even work from your neighborhood coffee shop.
