Private Tutoring Near You
Receive personally tailored MCAT lessons from exceptional tutors in a one-on-one setting. We help you connect with the best tutor for your particular needs while offering flexible scheduling to fit your busy life.If you're getting ready to take the MCAT and feeling stressed, Varsity Tutors can connect you with the best Columbus MCAT tutors. The MCAT is the standardized exam required by most medical schools for admissions, and it is a difficult test no matter how you slice it. The computer-based, multiple-choice exam is comprised of questions on concepts that medical schools have found crucial to a student's ability to succeed in medical school. Working online or in-person with a private instructor can help you ready yourself for this grueling exam.
How can Columbus MCAT tutors near me help me prepare for the test?
The first way Columbus MCAT tutors can help you prepare for the exam is by assisting you in developing a custom study plan. Because of the sprawling nature of the material covered by the test and the stakes involved, diving in can be overwhelming. There is a plethora of study material and advice out there, but even knowing where to begin can be difficult. Once you've registered for the test, pacing your own review can be a challenge. Your private instructor can work with you to establish SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and timely) goals related to your studies. This can break down what seems like a mountain of work into more manageable pieces that are attached to a schedule. The goal structure can serve as a plan of attack and a measuring stick for progress. You can use it to see how far you've come, remind yourself to celebrate small wins along the way, and motivate yourself to keep working towards the next milestone. Learning how to use SMART goals can also benefit you in other academic and professional pursuits!
Once you have a plan in place, Columbus MCAT tutors can help you put rubber to the road with a thorough review. There are four sections on the exam: Biological and Biochemical Foundations of Living Systems; Chemical and Physical Foundations of Biological Systems; Psychological, Social, and Biological Foundations of Behavior; and Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills. As if these subject areas weren't varied enough, the subtopics they contain are also incredibly diverse, ranging from the physics of organ systems to how social stratification can impact resource access for patients. Columbus MCAT tutors can engage in a review that makes sure you have all your bases covered.
Columbus MCAT tutors can also assist you by walking through practice problems with you. While recall is absolutely important when it comes to performing on the MCAT, memorizing facts will not guarantee you the score you're looking for. The questions are designed to ask you to apply the information you've learned, testing not only your memory but your reasoning skills. In some cases, that looks like a typical multiple-choice question. In others, the question is attached to a passage you'll need to read first. Other question structures are more distinctive. Columbus MCAT tutors can familiarize you with likely question types and language and teach you strategies for breaking the questions and answers down so they are easier to understand. This practice is an essential step in the preparation process.
Practice questions are just one piece of the puzzle. Columbus MCAT tutors can help you with practice exams, too. In total, the MCAT lasts 6 hours and 15 minutes. You're allotted between 90 and 95 minutes on each section to answer between 53 and 59 questions. It is, in some ways, a test of mental endurance. Taking practice exams can help you prepare for the stress and duration of the actual exam. It's also a way for you to track your progress throughout the preparation process. You'll be able to see whether and how you're improving, and by measuring your scores on different sections, you can determine where you should allocate the most preparation time moving forward. This allows you to study more efficiently. Your private instructor can also go back through questions you missed with you, helping you to understand where you went wrong and preparing you to handle similar questions on the next go-round.
What are the benefits of Columbus MCAT tutoring?
A significant benefit of Columbus MCAT tutoring is the one-on-one attention you receive from an expert instructor. These individuals are vigorously vetted by Varsity Tutors ahead of time to make sure they have the subject matter and test knowledge necessary to effectively guide you through the preparation process. They are also evaluated in terms of their skills as instructors to determine whether they have the ability to communicate effectively with students. During your individual sessions, you have the chance to ask questions and get clarity on issues where you might be confused. This type of support isn't always available in other preparation alternatives, like a classroom setting.
Columbus MCAT tutoring can be tailored to your individual needs, which is another advantage it holds over taking a preparation course. In a classroom, the teacher has a certain amount of material they need to get through during a set amount of time, and a whole class full of students to think of in terms of pacing. With Columbus MCAT tutoring, the only student that matters is you. If you're solid on the Critical Reasoning and Analysis materials, you and your instructor are free to dedicate your time to an area where you need more attention. These sessions are dedicated to you and your needs.
Columbus MCAT tutoring can be customized to your learning preferences. Research suggests we pay more attention and retain more information when we are engaged with the presentation. Because these sessions are individualized, your instructor can take time to get to know you and use that information in their approach. If you're a competitive person, they can use games to keep you focused and motivated. If you're a visual person, they can use tools like the virtual whiteboard on the Live Learning Platform to collaborate with you on drawing diagrams to review various biological systems. If you're more of an aural learner, they might introduce mnemonic devices to help with memory. This sort of customized instruction can be hard to come by elsewhere.
How can I get started with Columbus MCAT tutors near me?
Varsity Tutors makes it easy. All you have to do is reach out to our educational consultants, and they'll work to match you with an instructor whose schedule aligns with your own. This makes Columbus MCAT tutoring a great preparation option for students with a busy work schedule or taking a heavy course load. You also get to choose where you'd like to work, allowing you to pick a setting that is both convenient and well-suited for your learning needs. Maybe that means the comfort of your couch at home. Perhaps that means a quiet corner of the Thompson Library. Wherever that is, just log on to the Live Learning Platform, connect with your instructor using video chat, and you'll be able to collaborate using a variety of tools.
If you're ready to get serious about your MCAT preparation, there's no reason for delay. Whether you're looking to apply at The Ohio State University College of Medicine or another fine institution, there's a lot riding on the results. Don't wait! Contact Varsity Tutors to get connected with Columbus MCAT tutoring in as few as 24 hours.
