Tony
Calculus Tutor • +28 Subjects
I am a recent graduate of Yale University and incoming first year medical student at Columbia University. Originally from the DC area, I have always had a passion for science and medicine and pursued a degree in Biology while at Yale. During the 2008-2009 academic year, I tutored science, math, English, history, and Mandarin Chinese part-time with a DC-based tutoring company. At Yale, I worked as a freshman counselor to provide academic and career advice to incoming freshmen. I have taken both SAT and MCAT test prep classes and am familiar with both tests as well as the preparation necessary to score well. My personal career goals include attending medical school to pursue either immunology/infectious diseases or psych/neurology, teaching biology at the university level, and working in public/global health with either the CDC or the WHO.

I am a graduate of the University of Chicago, and I will be starting a graduate program at Columbia in August. I am about to complete a year of service with City Year, an education non-profit that places young adults into under-served schools. As a City Year member, I worked full-time in the classroom with middle-school students who were in approximately the 10th percentile for math (meaning they score lower than 90% of students). One-fourth of those students were able to grow around 15 percentile points by the end of the year! Hobbies: reading, cooking, gardening, music, art, nature, books, writing

Frequently Asked Questions
Score improvement depends on your baseline performance and study consistency, but students typically see 3-7 point increases with focused 10-week preparation. The key is identifying your specific weak areas early—whether that's CARS (reading comprehension), biochemistry, or physics—and targeting those sections intensively. With personalized 1-on-1 instruction, tutors help you develop efficient study strategies rather than spending time on areas where you're already strong, which maximizes your improvement potential within the 10-week timeframe.
Most students dedicate 20-30 hours per week to MCAT prep during a 10-week cycle, though this varies based on your starting point and target score. A typical schedule includes content review (early weeks), practice problems (mid-weeks), and full-length practice tests (final weeks). When working with a tutor, your study time becomes more efficient because you're not wasting effort on concepts you've already mastered or spinning your wheels on confusing material. Your tutor can help you create a realistic weekly schedule that fits your other commitments.
Pacing is one of the biggest challenges on test day—you have roughly 1.5-2 minutes per question depending on the section. Expert tutors teach you how to recognize question types quickly, decide when to skip and come back, and manage the Mental math section without getting bogged down. Through timed practice problems and full-length exams, tutors help you develop an intuition for pacing rather than just rushing through questions. They also identify your personal pacing bottlenecks, whether that's overthinking CARS passages, getting stuck on calculations, or second-guessing answers unnecessarily.
The first step is a diagnostic full-length practice test, which reveals exactly where you're losing points—organic chemistry, passage-based biology, physics equations, or critical analysis skills. From there, tutors create a personalized plan that front-loads content review for weak areas while maintaining strength in subjects where you're already solid. Rather than generic test prep, this targeted approach means your study time goes directly to content gaps and question types that are costing you points. Weekly progress checks through problem sets and mini-tests keep you accountable and let your tutor adjust the focus if new weak areas emerge.
Practice tests are essential—they show you what test day feels like, reveal timing issues, and identify content gaps under real pressure. During a 10-week prep cycle, you'll typically take 4-6 full-length practice tests spaced throughout your program, with the last ones close to your actual exam date. Tutors use your practice test results to fine-tune your study plan, help you analyze why you missed questions (was it content knowledge, misreading the question, or running out of time?), and build confidence by tracking improvement week to week. Timed practice is where many breakthroughs happen—students realize their strategies are working and gain the composure they need for test day.
Test anxiety often stems from uncertainty—not knowing what to expect, feeling unprepared, or past testing struggles. A structured 10-week program with regular progress milestones actually builds confidence naturally, since you can see improvement week by week. Tutors also teach practical stress-management techniques like breathing strategies, how to reframe mistakes as learning opportunities, and mental rehearsal for test day. Doing multiple timed practice tests in your actual testing environment (if it's a test center) helps normalize the experience so exam day feels less overwhelming and more like another practice attempt.
CARS challenges many test-takers because it requires reading complex passages quickly, understanding nuance and author perspective, and avoiding traps in answer choices—skills that feel less concrete than memorizing biochemistry. Unlike content-heavy sections, CARS improvement requires strategy training and lots of practice with real MCAT passages. Tutors teach you how to annotate passages efficiently, identify the author's main point vs. supporting details, and spot common wrong-answer traps. Over 10 weeks, consistent CARS practice combined with personalized feedback on your reasoning process leads to real score improvements, often 4-5 points in this section alone.
