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'm Solange - a recent graduate from Harvard where I studied Sociology & Women's Studies. I've been tutoring for eight years now, and have worked with a wide range of ages and in a wide range of subjects. Some of my specialties are college prep/test taking II worked in the admissions office on campus); social sciences; and literature/writing.
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 study timeline, but most students see meaningful gains with focused, personalized instruction. Many students improve by 5-10 points or more, though the amount varies based on your baseline score, the amount of time you dedicate to practice, and which sections you're targeting. The MCAT is scored from 472-528, so even a 3-4 point increase can meaningfully improve your competitiveness for medical school. Working with a tutor helps you identify exactly where points are being lost—whether that's in content gaps, test strategy, or pacing—so your study time becomes more efficient.
Pacing is one of the biggest challenges MCAT test-takers face, especially on the Chemical and Physical Foundations section and Biological and Biochemical Foundations section. A tutor can help you develop section-specific strategies—like spending 1-2 minutes per question on average while adjusting for passage difficulty—and teach you which questions to prioritize versus skip. Practice tests are critical here: taking full-length, timed tests consistently trains your brain to recognize how long different question types take. Tutors often review your test performance to identify patterns, like whether you're getting bogged down on certain question formats or spending too long on calculations that could be estimated.
The MCAT's Biological and Biochemical Foundations and Chemical and Physical Foundations sections tend to challenge students most—they require both deep content knowledge and strong problem-solving skills under time pressure. The Psychological, Social, and Biological Foundations section often surprises students because it blends psychology, sociology, and biology in unfamiliar ways. The Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills (CARS) section is consistently difficult because it rewards reading comprehension and reasoning, not just test prep. A tutor can pinpoint whether your struggles come from gaps in content, difficulty interpreting question stems, or overthinking answer choices. Targeted practice with expert explanation—rather than trying to fix everything at once—helps you build confidence section by section.
Most students study for 3-4 months full-time or 6-9 months part-time, though this varies based on your science background and starting knowledge level. Tutoring doesn't necessarily shorten your timeline, but it makes your study hours more efficient by eliminating wasted time on less-effective strategies and pinpointing exactly what needs work. A tutor helps you create a customized study plan with realistic milestones, ensures you're using practice tests strategically (not just passively), and catches misconceptions early before they become ingrained habits. For students for Queens with demanding schedules, a tutor can also help you prioritize the highest-impact study activities so your limited hours count more.
Practice tests are essential for MCAT prep—they're the closest simulation to test day and reveal exactly where your weaknesses are. Full-length, timed practice tests should be a cornerstone of your study plan, ideally starting mid-way through your prep and increasing in frequency as test day approaches. Working with a tutor after taking practice tests is where the real learning happens: rather than just reviewing answers, a tutor helps you understand why you missed questions, whether it was content, strategy, or careless errors, and how to prevent those mistakes on future tests. Many tutors recommend taking 5-8 full-length practice tests throughout your prep timeline and using performance data to guide where to focus your energy.
Test anxiety is real, and it often stems from either content gaps (which create genuine uncertainty) or unfamiliar test formats (which can be fixed with exposure). A tutor helps address the content side by ensuring you truly understand the material and can explain your reasoning, which builds real confidence. On the strategy side, practicing full-length tests under timed, test-like conditions desensitizes you to the pressure and helps you develop routines that calm your nervous system. Tutors also help you develop a pre-test confidence plan—knowing exactly which questions to tackle first, when to guess strategically, and how to reset if you hit a difficult passage. Many students find that having a concrete plan reduces anxiety significantly.
