John
Algebra Tutor • +8 Subjects
Hi there! My name is John (but you can call me Johnny). I'm a fourth year pre-dental biology student at Texas Christian University, set to attend the OHSU School of Dentistry next year.When I tutor, my main goal is to teach my students the confidence they'll need to think quickly and flexibly when the time comes. Biology, chemistry, and math are fascinating subjects. What's great about them is there are skills to learn and practice so that you can crush your next exam. Being a student takes practice, and with practice we can work together to make you the best you can be!
Bria
ACT Reading Tutor • +43 Subjects
Who I am: I graduated from Yale University in 2016 and I am currently on my gap year between college and medical school.Why I tutor: I've been tutoring other students since I was in high school, but I've been a tutee pretty much since I started public school when I was seven. Personalized tutoring was what helped me succeed in school, and I hope to be able to return the favor with Varsity Tutors.Who should hit me up: Anyone who needs help with test prep or writing! I hate taking standardized tests, but as a rising med student, I've been through A LOT of them, so I have a ton of strategies for how to tackle anything from the SAT to the MCAT. In contrast, I am passionate about writing, and would love to help you strengthen your writing skills.Miscellaneous info: I'm writing a book right now and I'm using my vague knowledge of music theory to teach myself to play guitar. I'll let you know how that goes.

Emily
6th Grade AP Language Composition Tutor • +107 Subjects
Hello! I'm a educator and visual artist with many years of experience teaching and tutoring high school and college students. I have a BA in Political Science from New College of Florida and a MFA in Photography from the Savannah College of Art and Design. While I'm a photographer by trade, I also have a passion for and expertise in Math and the Natural Sciences -- as well as French and Spanish, having studied and worked in both Paris and Central America. While I'm proficient now, I struggled with both languages early on, and understand the challenges of both starting a new language and in moving from a conversational to a more proficient level. I'm also available for ACT and SAT test prep -- and work especially well with students who are visual learners (though I have a wide range of materials and resources for all styles of learning!).

I have loved chemistry since high school and enjoy physics and biology. During my undergraduate career I was a research assistant in an organic chemistry lab and published a paper in Nature Catalysis, a national journal. I have learned successful ways of preparing for entrance exams like ACT, SAT, and PCAT and love helping other people learn! I want to use my free time to help students in areas they may be struggling- learning should be fun, not a chore!

Frequently Asked Questions
Medical school admissions committees look beyond GPA and MCAT scores—they evaluate your entire profile. Common application weaknesses include a lack of clinical experience, limited shadowing hours, weak personal statements that don't convey genuine motivation, poor interview preparation, and gaps in demonstrating service and leadership. Many applicants also struggle to articulate how their experiences connect to their commitment to medicine. Personalized tutoring for medical school applications helps you identify these gaps early and develop a compelling narrative that sets you apart.
Your personal statement is your chance to tell admissions committees who you are beyond your grades. A tutor specializing in medical school applications can help you identify authentic stories from your experiences, organize your narrative around a central theme, and revise for clarity and impact. They provide personalized feedback on structure, voice, and how well you convey your passion for medicine while addressing any red flags in your application. Many applicants benefit from multiple revision cycles with expert guidance to ensure every sentence serves your overall story.
A lower GPA or MCAT score doesn't automatically disqualify you, but you'll need to be strategic about your application. Personalized tutoring can help you understand how to address these challenges through your personal statement, letters of recommendation, and demonstrated growth. You might emphasize upward grade trends, strong performance in science courses, clinical experience, or personal circumstances that affected your performance. Tutors experienced with medical school applications know how competitive programs evaluate applications holistically and can help you present the strongest possible case given your academic background.
Most medical schools expect 100+ hours of clinical shadowing or direct patient care experience, though competitive applicants often have 200+ hours. The quality and diversity of experience matter more than the sheer number of hours—meaningful experiences in different specialties and settings demonstrate genuine interest in medicine. A tutor specializing in medical school applications can help you evaluate what experiences you have, identify gaps, and develop a plan to strengthen your clinical credentials. They can also help you articulate what you learned from these experiences in your personal statement and interviews.
An excellent medical school application tutor has direct experience with the admissions process—ideally as a physician, medical student, or former admissions consultant—and understands what different programs are looking for. They should provide personalized feedback on all application components, help you develop an authentic narrative, and coach you through interviews. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who have proven expertise in helping applicants strengthen their profiles and navigate one of the most competitive processes in higher education. Look for tutors who understand your specific situation and can provide strategic guidance tailored to your goals and target programs.
Medical school interviews assess your communication skills, ability to think ethically about healthcare dilemmas, and fit with the program's values. Preparation involves practicing common questions, developing concise answers to behavioral questions, and preparing thoughtful questions to ask interviewers. A tutor can conduct mock interviews that simulate the actual experience, provide feedback on your responses, and help you handle difficult questions with composure. Personalized interview coaching is especially valuable because it identifies your unique strengths and areas for polish, ensuring you present your authentic self while addressing any nervousness or communication patterns that might undermine your candidacy.
Ideally, you should begin planning your application during your junior year of college, when you can identify gaps in clinical experience and strengthen your overall profile. However, it's never too late to get support—whether you're early in the process or preparing to submit applications, personalized tutoring can improve your competitive position. Many applicants work with tutors starting 6-12 months before their target application cycle to develop a strategic plan, strengthen their personal statement, and prepare for interviews. Getting expert guidance early helps you make intentional choices about activities and experiences that will resonate with admissions committees.
