As an incoming medical student (starting 2026) and a graduate in Biological Sciences from SUNY Binghamton, I utilize a unique student-focused approach to tutoring. With over two years of experience in premed subjects (including MCAT topics) ranging from introductory biology to organic chemistry I specialize in breaking down complex topics into manageable concepts. My teaching philosophy is built on fostering a supportive environment where I adapt to each student's learning style, ensuring they not only achieve their academic goals but also develop a deeper appreciation for the material.

As a medical student who has already cleared both USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 CK, Jiatian knows the MCAT's content landscape from the other side — which biochemistry pathways, physics concepts, and psychology theories actually matter most and how the exam tests them. She teaches a question-attack strategy for CARS and the science sections that trains students to extract key data from dense passages before even looking at answer choices. Her Rice University science background and firsthand board exam experience mean she can connect MCAT topics to the bigger picture of what medical schools expect.
Ning earned her Doctor of Medicine degree, which means she didn't just study MCAT content — she applied it through years of medical training. She breaks down each section's strategy differently, from amino acid structure questions in the Biological Foundations section to passage-based reasoning in CARS, treating the exam as four distinct challenges rather than one monolithic test. Rated 4.9 by students.
I am a graduate of Emory University, where I received my Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology with a minor in Dance and Movement Studies. Throughout college, I have trained extensively tutoring students of various ages across many subjects. As an "Emory Reads" tutor for four years, I helped alleviate education inequality by providing weekly tutoring to students in Atlanta's lowest performing elementary schools to enhance reading comprehension and mathematics skills. I worked with the schools to transition engaged learning to an online format. I am a firm proponent of education, and am committed to providing my students with the best learning experience achievable. I am passionate about helping struggling students face the challenges of early education, and help them build a solid foundation for the future. I also served several semesters working with high school and college-age students. As a Teaching Assistant for college-level physics, I developed a sincere bond with my students as I strived to help them achieve there academic goals. I also worked as a peer-editor for papers and personal statements, as appointed by my professors who recognized my strong writing skills. For three years, I tutored and mentored high school students who were passionate about pursuing the sciences in college. I helped them through their AP coursework, preparing for standardized tests, and the college application process. I have worked with students to get into Ivy League universities, Berkeley, UCLA, NYU, and more. I am looking forward to being able to helping every student reach their personal potential, and sharing the joy of eventual success!
As a passionate tutor with a Bachelor's degree in Neuroscience and Psychology from Indiana University. For the past 3 years, I have been working as an MCAT tutor. I have over 2 years of experience helping students excel in subjects such as Anatomy & Physiology, AP Biology, and Psychology. My approach centers on fostering a supportive learning environment where students feel empowered to ask questions and engage deeply with the material. I believe that understanding the 'why' behind concepts is crucial for long-term retention, so I strive to connect lessons to real-world applications. I am motivated by witnessing my students' growth and confidence, particularly as they navigate the challenges of college applications and advanced coursework. In my free time, I enjoy reading about the latest developments in neuroscience, which further enriches my teaching and keeps me engaged with the subject matter.
Scoring well on the MCAT requires more than content mastery — it demands the ability to synthesize biology, chemistry, physics, psychology, and critical reading under extreme time pressure. Miya's microbiology and immunology background covers the science sections deeply, and her experience tutoring English and reading gives her a practical edge when coaching the CARS section. She builds study plans around each student's weakest content areas and drills passage-based reasoning from day one.
I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.
I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.
I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.
I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.
I am a rising sophomore at Harvard College and am about to declare as a Mechanical Engineering concentrator, working towards a Bachelor of Science degree. I've always enjoyed sharing my knowledge with my peers and those around me and have done so in both formal and informal settings. I've been a tutor for both Math and Spanish programs in high school and enjoyed the strides I made with students. I am willing to tutor any subject I have a background in, but am strong in mathematics, the sciences, Spanish, history, writing, and ACT prep. I enjoy teaching mathematics most due to the joy I can see in children once they master a topic and can answer even pointed questions meant to stump them, and maybe even put their knowledge to real world use. As a tutor, I like to give a strong foundation to orient my student, and then gradually grant them more freedom and independence until they can feel themselves grasp the concept, pointing out pitfalls or common errors along the way; teachers who used these methods on me always left the most lasting impressions. Outside of my studies, I really enjoy listening to music, both old favorites and new interests, reading classics, and gaming/playing basketball with my friends.
I am proud to be a part of Varsity Tutors! I am originally from San Antonio, TX; I completed my undergraduate education at Rice University in Houston where I received a bachelor's degree in Biochemistry and Cell Biology. Currently, I am in my second year of medical school at Baylor College of Medicine.

Frequently Asked Questions
Score improvement depends on your starting point and how consistently you engage with your tutor. Most students see meaningful gains of 3-5 points within 8-12 weeks of personalized instruction, though some improve more significantly with sustained effort. Research on 1-on-1 tutoring shows that targeted instruction addressing your specific weak areas—whether that's passages in CARS, biochemistry mechanisms, or physics problem-solving—yields better results than general test prep alone. Your tutor will help you identify which sections need the most work and develop a realistic timeline based on your baseline score and target.
The CARS section (Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills) trips up most test-takers because it requires both speed and deep comprehension—you have about 9 minutes per passage. Pacing is crucial across all sections: Chemistry and Physics give you 101 minutes for 44 questions, while Biology and Biochemistry give you 95 minutes for 44 questions. A tutor can help you develop section-specific strategies, teach you which questions to tackle first, and build your reading efficiency through repeated practice with timed drills. By analyzing which question types slow you down most, your tutor creates a personalized approach that turns timing anxiety into a managed strength.
Full-length practice tests are essential for MCAT prep—they're the closest simulation to test day and reveal your real pacing, stamina, and weak areas. Most students benefit from taking 4-6 full-length tests spaced throughout their prep timeline, with at least one per month early on and more frequently (weekly or bi-weekly) in the final 4-6 weeks. A tutor helps you interpret each test beyond just your score: they'll analyze which content areas hurt you, whether timing or comprehension is your bottleneck, and how your performance changed across tests. This targeted review of practice tests is where significant improvement happens.
Yes. CARS isn't really a reading comprehension test—it's a logical reasoning test using dense passages. Many strong science students struggle with CARS because it requires a different skill: tracking arguments, identifying author tone, and making inferences rather than memorizing facts. A tutor can teach you passage mapping strategies, how to annotate efficiently under time pressure, and how to eliminate wrong answers systematically. The key is practicing with real MCAT passages repeatedly while getting feedback on your reasoning process, not just your final answers. Over 4-8 weeks of focused CARS work, most students see meaningful improvement.
Content gaps are completely manageable with the right prep approach. The MCAT tests specific topics from biology, chemistry, physics, and biochemistry—not every detail from those fields. A tutor can quickly assess which topics you're weak in (biochemical pathways, thermodynamics, etc.) and focus your study time efficiently rather than having you re-learn everything. Most students allocate 6-12 months for MCAT prep, but the breakdown depends on your background: someone with strong science coursework might prep in 3-4 months, while someone with larger gaps might need 6+ months. Your tutor creates a realistic study plan based on your specific situation and target score.
Test anxiety often comes from uncertainty—not knowing if you'll perform as well as you practiced, or doubting your knowledge under pressure. A tutor builds your confidence through repetition and success: by practicing timed sections and full-length tests consistently, you build evidence that you can perform. Your tutor can also teach you concrete test-day strategies like managing your energy between sections, handling difficult passages by skipping strategically, and recognizing when to move on rather than getting stuck. Many students also benefit from discussing their anxiety openly with a tutor to identify whether it's truly anxiety or whether targeted content review in specific areas would help more.
Varsity Tutors connects Brooklyn students with MCAT tutors who have medical school experience and deep knowledge of the test. When you get matched with a tutor, you can discuss your baseline score, target score, timeline, and specific challenging areas—whether that's organic chemistry, CARS passages, or test-day pacing. Many tutors for students in Brooklyn offer flexible scheduling to fit around your other commitments. The goal is finding someone who understands not just the MCAT content, but how to teach you to think like the test makers, so you're prepared for question types and strategies you haven't even seen yet.
