In-person or Online MCAT Tutoring

A MCAT tutor can be particularly helpful when you are studying for the MCAT. Unlike other standardized exams, which do not require specific subject knowledge beyond high school math, there is a fair amount of biology, chemistry, and physics required to succeed. Your in-person or online MCAT prep needs to be tailored to you, and upfront study  plan development is often where we see students get the most value out of working with an MCAT coach.

An MCAT tutor from MyGuru leverages materials and practice problems from the Official Guide to the MCAT and other free or low cost MCAT prep materials from the AAMC. We begin with an initial diagnostic session in which we identify strengths and weaknesses, review each section of the MCAT with you, recommend materials, outline content to review in MCAT tutoring session, and assign homework.  Periodic official MCAT practice tests are incorporated in the customized lesson plans to help track progress of content retention and to hone key MCAT test-taking strategies.

In-Person & Online MCAT Prep Options and Tutoring Rates

We offer in-person tutoring in a growing number of cities because we do recognize that some students simply prefer to meet a tutor in-person. However, we recommend online MCAT prep because it offers more convenience and functionality.

Online GMAT tutoring rates

For students seeking an immersive MCAT prep experience, premium online MCAT tutoring includes full session recording and a 24/7 live private whiteboard where students can leave notes between lessons and receive a response from the instructor "off hours."

Discounts of greater than 15% off the above base rates are available when you invest in packages of hours in advance. We also offer a ~20 minute free introductory phone call (for in-person tutoring) or virtual meeting (for online tutoring).

Benefits of Online MCAT Prep

Some students remain hesitant to engage in online tutoring.  While we of course understand this perspective, we ask students to take into consideration a few things when considering online MCAT prep:

  • With a good internet connection, the online experience can be similar to an in-person experience, in that you can "read and respond" to your tutor's verbal and non-verbal cues
  • Writing on a virtual whiteboard can be very similar to writing on physical scratch paper
  • Removing the requirement to travel to a physical location often saves both the student and the tutor time and money while creating more scheduling options for both parties
  • In some cases, online MCAT tutoring sessions can be recorded for later review

For these reasons, in our view, online tutoring is just as good as face-to-face tutoring. It might be better.
