Private In-Home and Online Tutoring Near You
Receive personally tailored lessons from exceptional tutors in a one-on-one setting. We help you connect with in-home and online tutoring that offers flexible scheduling and your choice of locations. Varsity Tutors helps thousands of people asking, "How do I connect with the best tutors near me?"
If you're a prospective medical student applying to schools like the University of Nebraska College of Medicine, the Creighton University School of Medicine, or any other medical program in the United States, you'll have to take the MCAT, and Varsity Tutors can connect you with the best Omaha MCAT tutors. The MCAT is a long, exhaustive exam, and can have a substantial impact on your future, so it's important to be well prepared. However, given the breadth of the medical concepts covered by the MCAT, it can be difficult to know how to begin studying. Omaha MCAT tutors are highly-qualified professionals who are equipped to provide you with a comprehensive review of all the material that you'll have to study in order to pursue success on the exam.
What are the advantages of Omaha MCAT tutoring?
You'll work with Omaha MCAT tutors one-on-one, which allows them to create a personalized curriculum that accounts for your strengths, weaknesses, and learning goals. Compare this to a traditional, classroom-based test prep course: in a group learning environment, teachers are required to use universal instruction methods that don't always meet the needs of individual students. They have to stick to a predetermined class schedule, which can restrict your ability to spend enough time on the subjects that matter most to you. As the MCAT covers so many scientific and medical concepts - from the fundamentals of physics and biology to the behaviors of cells, organ systems, and tissues, to sociological and psychological factors that can prevent patients from getting the care they need - it's a fair bet that there are elements of the exam that you feel confident about, and others that you need to brush up on with some degree of urgency. The rigidity of group classes can be a limitation in this situation.
Omaha MCAT tutoring, on the other hand, is flexible. Your instructor can consult with you about where your anxieties lie, evaluate your current level of preparedness, and put together a study plan that targets your concerns directly. You can skim over concepts that you're already familiar with, giving you more time to take an in-depth look at subjects that you're struggling with and using your valuable study time more efficiently.
You can work at your own pace, and Omaha MCAT tutors can employ teaching methods that you find amenable. Most students prefer certain types of instruction - some people are aural learners, while others find visual or kinesthetic stimuli to result in a better learning outcome. Receiving instruction in a format that feels natural to you can make a difference in the effectiveness of your MCAT prep, and your mentor can tailor their curriculum to suit you. If you're visually-oriented they can put together decks of flashcards to help you memorize medical terminology, diagrams of cell function, and so on; while if you're aurally-oriented they could engage you in discussion-based lessons. As you spend more time with your instructor they can hone their approach to cater to your strengths.
What kinds of material can I study with Omaha MCAT tutors near me?
The MCAT is split up into four sections: 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. Each of these presents its own challenges, so we'll give a brief overview of what you can expect to see in each section and how Omaha MCAT tutoring can help you prepare.
The Chemical and Physical Foundations of Biological Systems will test you on your understanding of the fundamentals of the physical sciences, like biology, chemistry, biochemistry, and physics. You'll additionally have to apply your knowledge of these subjects to the context of biological systems like tissues and organ systems. Considering the vastness of each of these disciplines, it can be difficult to know if you're adequately prepared for the MCAT and to know what to study, but Omaha MCAT tutors know the test inside and out and can direct you towards the specific concepts that can be of the most use on the exam.
The Biological and Biochemical Foundations of Living Systems is somewhat similar, in that you'll be tested on biology, chemistry, and organic chemistry. However, here the focus will be on processes that are unique to living systems, like homeostasis, the search for and acquisition of materials and energy, growth and reproduction, adaptation, and more. Organic chemistry can be a challenging subject, but Omaha MCAT tutors can allow you all the time you need to extensively study the subject until you're confident in your abilities, and can supply you with learning aids that can make the topic more approachable.
Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills will assess your ability to read and respond cogently to reading comprehension questions and to use your critical thinking abilities. You'll be given sets of passages drawn primarily from the humanities and social sciences and will be asked to evaluate these passages by drawing conclusions about the arguments they present, identifying flaws in reasoning, inferring non-overt information, and extrapolating arguments to new contexts. Omaha MCAT tutors can go over sample passages with you and help you develop tactics to read quickly and accurately, as well as giving you advice on how to eliminate incorrect multiple-choice responses to narrow your choices on the exam.
The Psychological, Social, and Biological Foundations of Behavior section is intended to evaluate your ability to serve a diverse patient population. You'll have to show your knowledge of how social stratification impacts patients' well-being, how mental health, physical health, and behavior are interrelated; and the role that cultural and social differences play in health and healthcare. Forming a nuanced viewpoint of each of these issues can be a challenge, but Omaha MCAT tutors can invite you into conversations that expose you to new perspectives and flesh out your understanding.
How can I meet with Omaha MCAT tutors near me?
Omaha MCAT tutoring is offered both online and in person. We're aware that many prospective medical students lead busy lives and are bogged down with academic, personal, and professional obligations. However, online instruction can make it easier to fit tutoring into your busy schedule. Online meetings are facilitated by our Live Learning Platform, which includes video chat software, allowing you to work with your mentor face-to-face from any location where you have a connection to the internet and a compatible computer or mobile device.
The Live Learning Platform additionally includes a set of learning tools that can make online Omaha MCAT tutoring feel like meeting in the flesh. You can use the built-in virtual whiteboard to examine chemistry equations or sketch diagrams, and the shared document editor allows you and your instructor to look over reading comprehension passages together. All lessons are automatically recorded, so you can return to previous study sessions to refresh your memory of concepts that you've already gone over.
